great work skybean! you really summed everything up very nicely

Nice job...

I can't wait to see all of these babies go up...

Here's the most up-to-date list I've got. Notice 1 Bloor East is gone (the project is dead), along with all future phases of CityPlace not already under construction (with the exception of Signature. All future phases have been redesigned such that they're below the 400 foot mark necessary to make this list.)

The list is for buildings greater than 400 feet, or 40 floors or more when the height is unknown.

canuck,great job on keeping this list updated.
one inquiry though,the mississauga buildings seem that they dont belong on this list
do you think they should have their own list?a reply would be great thanx.

Very organized thread :applause:

I can't say any of the projects look bad with the exception of the back facade of AGO.

About time we started a new thread;);).....great work

One Bloor is not dead - expect it to be released in either the fall or next spring

how do you know this? you've got me excited.

sorry but most of those look pathetic.:puke::puke:

^^ Thank God that architecture is all opinion, eh?

Yes and no.
All of Mississauga's projects are proposals at this point (with the exception of Absolute Phase IV which is in sales). It's also very likely the design of the Parkside Village towers will alter substantially in the future. For now I'll keep Mississauga included with the Toronto list, but in the future should they ever get 4 or 5 built with a few more proposed, I'd consider creating a separate list.

In fact one can already add another project to Mississauga, Phase V of Absolute Condos is supposed to be 50 stories.

how do you know this?

This is good news, and good job to Skybean for making this thread a third reincarnation.

sorry but most of those look pathetic.:puke::puke:

Sacramento?????!!! :hilarious :lol: :hahaha: :rofl:

Sacramento?????!!! :hilarious :lol: :hahaha: :rofl:


what about sacramento???? sacramento kicks ass :bash:

Thanks for compliments everyone. I just thought that weeding through thread II was becoming a laborious task. A perfect time to refresh with the ROCP III.

Perhaps I should add 1 Bloor East if it has indeed been resurrected.

Those buildings are actually pretty good (most of them anyway). One thing Ive noticed that Toronto lacks is good architecture. These proposals should solve that.

sorry but most of those look pathetic.:puke::puke:

lol...ya i agree they arnt near as nice as the multiple architecturaly stunning 200m to 300m towers being built in Sacremento :hilarious......lol

looks like somebody has a superiority complex...chill it's just an opinion.

looks like somebody has a superiority complex...chill it's just an opinion.

oh im actually feeling pretty chill..and superior.:):):)

I like the varied high quality,tasteful designs toronto is building.

those buildings all look amazing gives toronto something good that its missing.. and i wanna hear more about this ROCP III proposal

I would expect RoCP to undergo some more fine tuning and likely be reduced in height. Some density should certainly be reallocated to the podium

Add the Tellus Tower at 30 stories

Telus to join Toronto skyline

Globe and Mail Update

TORONTO — Telus Corp. is adding its name to the Toronto skyline as the major tenant for a new 30-storey tower to be constructed beside the Air Canada Centre.

The $250-million tower is being built by privately held Menkes Developments Ltd. through a joint venture partnership with Hospitals of Ontario Pension Plan and U.S. private investor, Halcyon Partners Fund. Construction is expected to begin this fall with a target date for completion of January 2009.

Telus has leased 60 per cent of the 780,000-square-foot tower and plans to move 2,000 workers to the site as part of a major consolidation and expansion effort in Ontario.

"We see Toronto as a significant growth market for us," said Andrea Goertz, vice-president of Enterprise Services at Telus. The Vancouver-based firm plans to move staff from 15 different locations throughout the Toronto area to two sites, one in Scarborough on the east side of the city and the new building downtown.

Telus currently has 400 staff working in the city centre, but Mr. Goertz said the new tower will allow all staff involved in services to business clients to work out of out of the same location and in close proximity to major customers. The building, situation between the Gardiner Expressway and a major commuter rail line, will also give the firm huge visibility on the city's skyline.

"It will be like a jewel box,' said Peter Menkes, president of commercial and industrial projects at his family's firm, when asked to describe the new, glass-clad tower. The building will belinked directly to Union Station to the north and is the first office project for the firm in the downtown,which until now has focused its office development in the north end of the city.

Yesterday's announcement was widely expected and follows a competition that concluded in May with the selection of the Menkes site. The decision by Telus to consolidate staff in the city centre, rather than at a suburban location, is a shot in the arm for Toronto's downtown. The site has long been pegged for office development by the city, but has sat empty for years because of lack of demand.

The Telus building is the second major downtown office project announced this year after more than a decade of little activity. This spring, Cadillac Fairview, the property arm of the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan Board announced a tower on the western side of the downtown near Roy Thomson Hall. Brookfield Properties Corp. also is expected to announce this summer that construction will begin at its long-dormant Bay-Adelaide site.

Telus shares trading down 10 cents at $45.30 on the Toronto stock market Monday.

Telus deal caps downtown revival
Trio of towers now planned
Phone giant to locate by ACC

BUSINESS REPORTER


After more than a decade without a new commercial tower breaking ground downtown, Toronto now has the plans for three new skyscrapers to demonstrate the dramatic turnaround in the city's fortunes.

"Toronto is still the financial capital of this country, and this clearly shows that the biggest institutions have confidence in the future of the city," said Ray Wong, national director of research for CB Richard Ellis.

Yesterday, Menkes Developments and Telus announced the building of a $250 million, 30-storey, 780,000-square-foot skyscraper adjacent to the Air Canada Centre. The project is the second confirmed, tenanted tower in a banner year of development announcements. A 1.2 million-square-foot project in the city's entertainment district was announced earlier this year, and a tenant is expected to be revealed shortly for the Bay-Adelaide Centre in the financial district.

The three new buildings would represent an additional 3 million square feet of space in the downtown core.

Toronto has seen no shortage of condominium building, but commercial towers, the most visible symbols of a city's economic strength, have been conspicuously lacking.

Over the past few years, however, a solid economy and strong job numbers have meant companies such as Telus have been looking at ways to house growing workforces, Andrea Goertz, vice-president of enterprise services for Telus, said in an interview.

"We have experienced phenomenal growth over the last few years, and it was time for us to bring our team together," said Goertz.

Vancouver-based telecommunications company Telus signed the deal with Menkes to be the lead tenant, taking 440,000 square feet of space, or about 60 per cent of the building.

Telus started looking for space last year, but couldn't find an existing building that met the company's needs, said Goertz.

The company sent out a request for proposal to five developers, and decided on the Menkes plan.

"The existing buildings downtown were getting older, and we thought there was a real need for buildings with updated technology," said Peter Menkes, president of Menkes' commercial and industrial division.

The tower is a joint venture among Menkes, Hospitals Of Ontario Pension Plan and institutional real estate equity vehicle Halcyon Partners Fund.

Earlier this year, Cadillac Fairview Corp. announced it would build a 1.2 million-square-foot building at Simcoe and Wellington Sts., beside the new Ritz Carlton hotel.

The last major tower to be built in the city core was BCE Place at Bay and Wellington, in 1992. Since then, a recession, a spate of overbuilding and the bursting of the technology bubble in 2000 caused headaches for developers.

Any building was one in the 905 regions, where rent and taxes were cheaper.

But Canada and Toronto are once again on the radar map of global investors.

A strong currency has also meant that Toronto is now within striking distance of New York City when it comes to the cost of office space, according to a recent CB Richard Ellis survey.

This year, the city leaped 16 slots in the world rankings of occupancy costs, with rents in the financial district poised to rise another 10 per cent by year's end.

Class A or top office space now has a vacancy rate of 6.8 per cent and is forecast to drop to a minuscule 4.7 per cent in 2008, given the absence of new buildings. A figure lower than 10 per cent is considered a landlord's market.

Wong estimates that, with two buildings, the vacancy rate will rise to 8.8 per cent. Three would bring the vacancy rate to 10.4 per cent.

Good demand has given developers the kind of courage that has been lacking since the building bust of the late 1980s, when occupancy rates hit the high double digits.

Brookfield Properties Corp. has said it will soon start building its long-dormant Bay-Adelaide tower, although the company has not yet announced a key tenant.

Real estate sources say the company is currently in negotiations with consulting firm KPMG LLP as a possible lead tenant.

The developer received approval from Toronto city council to start building this year.

Real estate sources say that two buildings already confirmed and tenanted will make things more difficult for a third player.

According to Toronto Star Maple Leaf square will start in October. It will start as its 90% sold for tower 1 and 75% sold for tower 2. They will be massive at 186m and 174m. This will likely become the most noticable new project as there is nothing around it.

Also not in Toronto, outside it it appears the Absolute condo (the spinning one) was such a huge hit that there is a 2nd one.

Now there are two (50 stories) and 56 stories.

Its 2 buildings now?! RIGHT ON!!

will be built at the same time next spring. They released a 2nd due to overwhelming demand for the first. A 56 and 50 story twin towers will be gigantic especially in that area. Mississauga is likely to get a big skyline in 2-3 years.

^Maybe they could do a block of those buildings!

i know some you think Mississauga is just a little suburb trying copy Toronto, but those buildings will be giants in a sea of insects. They will be tall and will be seen from a huge distance and will be landmarks of Mississauga.

Also it shows just how many tall buildings there will be in Toronto and area in the next few years. Two 500 foot buildings is a anchivement for a city forget a suburb.

^^Actually 3-5;);)....Absolute plus 1-3 150's from the Amacon development

well there are quite a few buildings going up all around Toronto and its getting hard to remember whats going up, whats in sales and whats proposed.

This is Toronto.

yeah but for such large buildings to be built in the area near it shows how the whole area is growing well.

Those buildings look great!!!!

Brookfield to begin T.O. office complex

CANADIAN PRESS

Brookfield Properties Corp. (TSX: BPO) is expected to kick off construction Wednesday on a long-awaited 50-storey office tower that promises to transform the heart of Toronto’s Bay Street financial district.

The Bay-Adelaide site, located just steps from the Toronto Stock Exchange and skyscrapers for Canada’s five biggest banks, will house the downtown neighbourhood’s first major commercial development since 1992.

Sources said Tuesday that construction costs were estimated at about $300 million, but total investment costs were not known.

New York-based Brookfield Properties, the real-estate arm of Toronto-based Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (TSX: BAM) , said the project would “see the landscape of the city’s financial district change dramatically” but declined to provide specifics.

Officials have previously said the development will begin with a 1.2-million-square-foot tower on Bay Street, replacing two low-rise buildings.

Sources confirmed Tuesday that Phase 1 includes a 50-storey tower with a plaza and tunnel connecting it to nearby Scotia Plaza and the city’s underground pedestrian passageway system.

The building, which is expected to be called the Bay-Adelaide Centre West, is slated to open in 2009. The building’s anchor tenant is speculated to be a major accounting firm.

“There are Phases 2 and 3 as well,” one source said, noting it was not known when those would begin.

“Toronto is experiencing a really significant development cycle for the first time in a decade. So there is positive demand for high-quality office space.”

Another source said the project’s later phases could include a 43-storey office-residential tower on Adelaide Street and a 49-storey hotel and condominium complex facing Temperance Street.

The Bay-Adelaide property currently has a parking lot and the stump of a building, but has lay vacant since about 1988 after construction was halted on a previously planned 57-storey building following the collapse of the commercial real-estate market.

In 1999, revised plans were approved for another 47-storey tower but were later scrapped after the previous owner failed to secure enough tenants.

BPO Properties Ltd. (TSX: BPP) , also part of Brookfield Asset Management, paid about $105 million last fall for the remaining 50 per cent stake in the property. Brookfield bought its half-stake in 2001.

CEO Ric Clark will be joined by Toronto Mayor David Miller and other dignitaries for a “stump busting” ceremony at the site Wednesday afternoon, the company said.

“I think it’s really going to be a premier office building and it is evidence of the construction boom that occurring in the commercial real-estate sector,” said Gail Misfud, an analyst with Raymond James Ltd.

Bay-Adelaide Centre West is one of three projects that have been recently announced for Toronto’s downtown core. All are set to open in 2009.

Earlier this month, Telus Corp. (TSX: T) and Menkes Developments said they plan to build a $250-million office tower to support the B.C.-based telecom firm’s Ontario expansion.

The 30-storey tower, to be built next to the Air Canada Centre (TSX: ACE.B) , will feature 780,000 square feet of office space. Telus will be the lead tenant, taking up about 60 per cent of the total rentable area.

That followed a March announcement by Cadillac Fairview Corp. Ltd. that outlined plans to build another office tower called the RBC Centre, just west of the city’s financial district. The 34-storey building’s main tenant will be RBC Financial Group (TSX: RY) , Canada’s largest bank.

The last time there was any major office construction in Toronto’s financial core was in 1992, when Brookfield’s BCE Place was completed.

“Fundamentals have shifted in favour of landlords and vacancy rates are declining,” Misfud said.

“Rental rates are going to be beginning to move up positively and with that momentum, I think these projects will feed well into that growing demand.”

There is about 83.8 million square feet of office space in downtown Toronto, with about 41.9 million classified as Class A or top tier. The overall office vacancy rate is about 8.8 per cent, while the Class A vacancy rate is 9.5 per cent.

Brookfield Properties owns and manages office properties in New York, Washington, Boston, Toronto, Calgary and Ottawa. Its portfolio comprises 67 commercial properties totalling 48 million square feet. It is half-owned by Toronto-based investment company Brookfield Asset Management (TSX: BAM.LV.A.), formerly known as Brascan.

In June, Brookfield Properties announced it was partnering with U.S. private equity giant The Blackstone Group to buy Trizec Properties Inc. and Trizec Canada Inc. in a $8.9-billion (U.S.) deal. Last year, the firm gobbled up a 25 per cent stake in O&Y Properties.

Its shares gained 55 cents to close at $37.11 Cdn on the TSX.

Brookfield Properties Launches Bay Adelaide Centre Development in Toronto's Financial Core
July 19, 2006

KPMG to Anchor First Tower of 2.6 Million Square Foot Project


TORONTO, July 19, 2006 - Brookfield Properties Corporation (BPO: NYSE, TSX) and its Canadian-based subsidiary, BPO Properties Ltd. (BPP: TSX), today launched the 2.6 million square foot Bay Adelaide Centre development in Toronto's financial core in a ceremony attended by Toronto Mayor David Miller. Construction on the development commenced with the ceremonial knocking down of the "stump," a six-storey elevator core erected fifteen years ago by the previous owners of the site. The stump will be replaced by a new urban park that will serve as the focal point of the new project.

"The Bay Adelaide Centre represents exciting growth for Toronto's downtown core, an area that has not experienced significant development in over a decade," said Toronto Mayor David Miller. "Expansion and growth in the country's most established financial centre demonstrates that both Toronto and Canada are firmly established as one of the world's great cities and economic centres."

Brookfield announced that it has signed a long-term lease with KPMG, one of Canada's leading professional services firms, for approximately 250,000 square feet in Bay Adelaide Centre West, the first tower of the three-phase project.

"KPMG is delighted to be the anchor tenant in this major new development within Toronto's core," said Rob Brouwer, KPMG's GTA Managing Partner. "We look forward to this new era in the development of downtown Toronto and in bringing KPMG to the Bay Adelaide Centre."

Comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet, the 50-storey tower is the first new development in Toronto's financial core since BCE Place was completed in 1992. The Bay Adelaide site consists of two city blocks with approved density of 2.6 million square feet. The first tower, Bay Adelaide Centre West, will be located on the northeast corner of Bay Street and Adelaide Street.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to transform this premier location in Toronto's downtown core into a world-class office and mixed-use project," said Ric Clark, President & CEO of Brookfield Properties Corporation. "We are grateful to the City of Toronto for helping to make Bay Adelaide Centre a reality and we look forward to welcoming one of the world's most highly-regarded professional firms, KPMG, as our anchor tenant."

Built to a LEEDS silver standard which mandates the use of environmentally-friendly materials and the maximum recycling of building materials, Bay Adelaide Centre West will feature state-of-the-art operating and life safety systems. Floor plates vary from 23,850 to 25,270 square feet. Hard and soft construction costs are estimated at C$300 million.

The design of the 50-storey Bay Adelaide West by WZMH Partners integrates the 11-storey historic façade of the former National Building, which will be rebuilt and restored to its 1926 grandeur. Toronto's Path system, 27 kilometers of public walkway and retail located one level below grade, will be completed with the connection through Bay Adelaide Centre under Adelaide Street into Scotia Plaza.

Occupancy of Bay Adelaide Centre West is expected in 2009. Phases Two and Three of Bay Adelaide Centre will likely be a mix of office and hotel/residential.

Brookfield Properties acquired a 50% interest in the Bay Adelaide site in 2001 with existing infrastructure in place, including the HVAC plant, loading facility, and an 1,100-stall parking deck. The company purchased the remaining 50% of the site in 2005.

^^Oh they will build them;)....the reason for the second tower is that there was too much demand for them. Rumour has it the first 100 blocks were sold in less than one and a half hours!!....

I can image that they would sell out fast, I mean they are sexier than Kylie. :)

true they plan to start it next spring 2007, and the first tower is almost completly sold out and the 2nd one is released but they will sell easily and be bulit quickly. It appears if you get on the news your building will sell easily.

What's the height of the building? Looks pretty good from my point of view.

they must be above 500 feet which would massive in that area.

they must be above 500 feet which would massive in that area.

At 50 stories the first proposal was to be around 500ft or about 153m, so at 56 stories the taller tower should be around 170m

There are a few more 500 ft towers proposed as part of the Amacon development.

are you refering to the parkside towers? if so then there is only one 500 footer planned.

No, there are three that will be in that height range, although they might be a bit shy of 500ft; I think two of them are planed at 45 stories, and one at 50.

height range...i see where your comming from, they are the parkside village towers and the two 45 story towers as far as I know will not be over 500 ft, infact 5 stories can make a huge difference. But that still leaves the city with 3 500ft+ towers!

It begins! MLS WAS Passed by the City Council.

acording to http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=203588&page=12&pp=20 (bottom of page)
MLS passed its final hurdle yesterday!! Surprised that it hasn't shown up in any of the media... not even the MLS website. Since I hadn't heard anything, I got busy today, and faxed Pam McConnell's assistant, Thomas Davidson. He confirmed that it IS a go, with 2 minor amendments: 1. a requirement to purchase 6 mo metropasses (to mitigate parking/auto issues, I guess)...and 2. some extra space for taxi stands. That's it... all done... IT'S A GO!!!!!!!

http://www.urbandb.com/canada/ontario/toronto/17mapleleaf.jpg

They got a height increase a few weeks back to one tower is 186M and other is 174M. Thats 610 feet and 570 feet. The will be huge in that area.

The condo guide says one tower is 90% sold out and the other is 75% sold out, so they will start soon.

^^Nice job hunting that down Mandeep:D:D

according to Urban database they are 186m and 174m. Are they really that tall. Thats like two 1 king street west buidlings.

I'm from Cardiff (Wales, UK) and I love Toronto! We have always had good transport links with Canada, in particular Toronto, and I feel as though it's my second home. I'm not sure what it's like over there but here it feels like Toronto is now the place to be in N.America and it seems to be catching the likes of L.A, New york etc etc.

PS - I was wondering, is now a good time to buy/invest in property in Canada (in particular Toronto)? I know a lot about the housing market here in the UK and what is likely to happen but in Canada I know next to nothing. Are you guys currently experiencing a boom (like we did a few years ago - for example in Cardiff, a lot of developments were built much like Toronto is experiencing now... obviosuly on a smaller scale of course)?

Yes, we're experiencing a boom. I'd say there's been a boom going on now for about 5 or more years. Part of the reason is that the Toronto area increases in population by just over 100,000 people each year so obviously there needs to be enough development happening to keep up.

Whereas most cities experience a bust at the end of their boom/bubble, I don't expect to see that happen here. The last cycle we crashed pretty hard and as a result our housing and financial industries are very conservative. It's extremely rare to see a project move to construction without being at least 75% sold. Between that and our consistent population increases the housing market should be fairly stable for the foreseeable.

^^ agreed, i dont think we will see a bust/crash, but more of a plateau at the end of the boom

Festival Tower will start sales in September. The Festival tower will be the new home of the Toronto International film festival.

Wow.... very thorough!

I hope they redesing the festival tower, it looks to average. This is a project that should deserve a good architect because it will be seen by a lot by tourists during the Film Festival.

i think a good slender 200M tower would be better with a spire on top.

toronto will be beautiful in the future. too bad its in canada hahaha :lol:

However if it were in the US, it would be just another major city. #4 in the country.

However in Canada it will always remain on top no matter what.

^ if it were in the US, it wouldn't have been what it has become anyways. It would have probably ended up much like Buffalo (no offence to it).

^agreed... if toronto was never in canada montreal would b a much differnty city as well.. just think of what a different country canada would b.

Ummm Canada is what MAKES Toronto Toronto... you just have no idea what you are talking about... but then again, your soul is way down in NYC. ;)

i sooooo agree!

Ummm Canada is what MAKES Toronto Toronto... you just have no idea what you are talking about... but then again, your soul is way down in NYC. ;)
haha true

montreal would be massive and be lets say like the GTA.

huge and massive with millions of people. However Quebec screwed Montreal over a lot and now it will remain the 2nd big city in Canada however which is French.

I believe in the 50's and 60's Montreal city planning was done with the idea that the city was going to hit 8 mil around 2000 in mind. How quickly things change.

Something to keep in mind when you hear population estimates for the future.

imagine montreal with 8 million.... its weird thinking on how differnt things could've been in canada if toronto never passed montreal in population

thats why Montreal will never will like Toronto.

I hope they redesing the festival tower, it looks to average. This is a project that should deserve a good architect because it will be seen by a lot by tourists during the Film Festival.

I agree.... do I hear boxy?

I really want to hear something good about 1 Bloor East.

Well there isn't really anything to report. Kolter is unlikely to move forward with the project. The lot will likely be sold to another developer. Whenever of if that happens it will be an entirely different project.

The renderings that have been posted at various times over the past few years aren't going to be what happens.

Don't expect any action any time soon.

I really want to hear something good about 1 Bloor East.
Me too. Even if the old plan is canceled, the zoning is in place for a huge tower in a prime location, so I would expect something to hapen there sooner rather than later.

i think 1be will get built,hoping its another developer and a new design

montreal would be massive and be lets say like the GTA.

huge and massive with millions of people. However Quebec screwed Montreal over a lot and now it will remain the 2nd big city in Canada however which is French.

You can never trust those estimates.

^ i think we can ... thers more of a chance calgary will become the biggest city in canada then montreal.. but i think toronto's here to stay

Toronto will always be the biggest city in Canada. Calgary just recently broke one mil, and Montreal, though closer in size, is not growing as fast as TO, as far as i know.

^ we all kno toronto is here to stay but its just fun thinking of the what ifs..

any recent updates?

Calgary is growing really fast but to ctach Toronto it would need to maintain that for a few decades and Toronto itself must stop growing.

Uhmm.. any chance to get this back onto the Toronto boom? It is sort of like debating when Miami is going to get larger than New York City.

woh interesting comparsion.

TELUS and Verve are under construction. Ritz is like either just ready to start construction or is under construction. All of thesebuildings will start this fall or spring...

Maple Leaf Square Tower 2: 174M or 570 feet
Absolute Twin Towers: 50 and 56 floors
Filmport
One Bedford: 100M or 328 Feet
Encore (like Met): 98M or 321 Feet

Filmport has started construction
Telus has started hoarding
One Bedford will start in October or a couple of weeks
MLS will break gorund on September 19th

M5V Life proposal was rejected by council and so was ROCP3

M5V was cancelled? I heard about ROCP3, but now this. what was wrong it?

Who said it was cancelled?

I hate to have to explain this again, but city council does not cancel projects. They were rejected by the planers(eventually council too) and the developers will simply have to redesign.

Cancelled, rejected, same thing. but what was wrong with it, why did the planners reject it?

Thats retarded, a 30m hight limit there? guess theres no chance of this going up then, or anything for that matter, except for that damn automotive garage already there that is completely out of place to begin with.

pardon if im uninformed but why a 30m height limit??

There are a tonne of updates from all around the city.

http://www.acadieville.ca/2006Update/

"pardon if im uninformed but why a 30m height limit??"



protection of one of Toronto's most successful restaurant strips

concern with allowing M5V to rise the planning department may be obligated to allow other sites to re-development with the potential of irreparable damage to the that restaurant strip

I don't knowing if the south side of King should be protected from highrises or not but I think too many forumers are overly obsessed with height to the point that everything must be 30 storeys or higher to create a vibrant core or slow down sprawl

thanks for the link, Marcanadian

WOW, what an update

Calgary is growing really fast but to ctach Toronto it would need to maintain that for a few decades and Toronto itself must stop growing.

I think Calgary should set it's sight on surpassing Vancouver before even thinking of Taking out Toronto. Vancouver is more than double the size of Calgary and Toronto is almost triple the size of Vancouver! My point is it will be a long fucking time before Calgary even reaches Vancouver's current size, and that's even if Calgary continues it's ridiculous pace of growth

I hate to have to explain this again, but city council does not cancel projects. They were rejected by the planers(eventually council too) and the developers will simply have to redesign.

Planners dont have the final say. Planners make recommendations... council does the rejecting.

^^Excellent render! I'm disappointed that the height has been chopped down.

Toronto timeless/block style + Eureka Tower = Aura @ College Park

hehe

i beleive that rendering is the 75 story proposal.i think that podium floors are double height.i could be wrong ,maybe i will count the floors?

:nuts: man hard on the eyes^

I counted about 66 floors + a design feature on the top worth a few floors, and the podium floors appear to have high ceilings.

yeah i counted roughly the same^ 65

i like all those projects

yeah i counted roughly the same^ 65

My eyes hurt... do yours? That's a good sign though, when counting floors. It means that the building is tall. Which we like. I think. Right? Yeah.

Long live urbanity.

Damn, if it was only 4 metres taller!!

To be honest, height isn't even close to being my main goal for urbanity. Urbanity and height are two different things.

But still, this tower looks to be a pretty exciting project, shall it proceed.

Great render. That corner really need something like this project.
BTW, I am sure M5V is back. I have seen sales ad. in the Star and other papers.

Nice ... a good balance of blending and contrasting with the other towers and a much improved base.

I'm a sucker for height though, couldn't they throw a hockey stick on top to make it 200m.

Yup, this one is a winner. Good example of the Toronto style with just a bit of a twist.

yeah i counted roughly the same^ 65

ya i counted 65, not including podium

Those kinds of polished renderings tend to look much better as renderings...than finished buildings. Not that Spire isn't a decent building, but it had the same problem...unrealistic renderings.

The facade will never look that "seamless".






KGB

^^ unless they dump alot of money into it and go all office-tower-sleek on us :)

Well yea...it is "possible" to build that top with a mirror finish, where the mullions are basically invisable. But how much do you want to bet it will end up with standard windows, frames and mullions?






KGB

Well I figured that being part of College Park, it'd be swanked up... but you're probably right.

^^ The school is in the podium.

Wait, the school would still be in use?

The school currently on site (North Toronto Collegiate Instituite) is being demolished and rebuilt as the podium of these condos.

should be an interesting relationship between condo owners and the kids.

Hey everyone, check out the Star GTA section today, they have a detialed rundown of NTC project~

http://www.thestar.com/News/article/171445

That's weird but interesting. I have never heard of a school being the ground floor of condo's.

it did not seem to me that the condos would physically be on top of the school, I was under the impression that they would be built accross the sight from the school. If you have seen the render of this project -> http://www.tridel.com/republic/buildings.php <- it is really hard to tell if there is a schol there or not, it is possible.... hmmmm

ON SECOND THOUGHT! if you look closely at the render, at the bottom right, there is a ghosted-out outline of a single story building that matches the profile of your typical school

Yorkville towers approved
Four seasons complex: OMB ruling allows for taller tower than city ok'd

Greg Macdonald
National Post

Saturday, January 20, 2007

The Ontario Municipal Board has approved a $500-million project, including the city's seventh- highest building, to be built in ''the armpit of Yorkville.''

The 50-storey, 195-metre tower will be a part of the Four Seasons hotel-condominium complex on Bay Street, between Scollard Street and Yorkville Avenue.

The complex will also contain a 24-storey residential building. The higher tower will consist of a 20-floor hotel, as well as condo units, for a total of 241 condos and 250 hotel rooms.

The ruling, which allows for a taller tower than that approved by Toronto city council, has been met with some local hostility.

Although a prominent community group reached an agreement with Bay-Yorkville Developments regarding the towers' heights, other organizations are still opposed to the development.

Sheila Latham, director of the Save Yorkville Heritage Association, fears the project could "destroy" Yorkville.

"The way I see it, this new building being approved puts all low-rise buildings in the area under threat," Ms. Latham said.

"It would ruin the area's lowrise charm, sunshine, and its streetscape, which is on a human scale," she said.

Ms. Latham charged that the city and community leaders had been "bought off" by the developers, Bay-Yorkville Developments, citing a $5.2-million donation to the community under Section 37 of the Planning Act. The funding will go to improve the local fire hall, library and the yard at Jesse Ketchum Public School.

"What kind of rules have we got when someone with deep pockets can buy out the opposition?" she said.

The OMB decision, released this month, called the property "one of the largest underutilized properties remaining within the midtown area, an important mixed-use area that includes the high-rise character of the Bay- Bloor-Yonge-Street area."

City council had approved 45- and 35-storey towers. The heights were changed to address controversy over shadows the towers will cast on the Ketchum schoolyard.

The new plans do little to fix this, according to Ms. Latham. "The schoolyard is only going to get half an hour more sunshine a d ay," she said. "This is a terrible precedent and an outrageous building. It sets the stage for more shadowing of public space."

Despite the controversy, local city councillor Kyle Rae is pleased with the decision.

"Most of the neighbourhoods that opposed it were happy to see the tall tower get taller and the shorter tower get shorter. The new plans will reduce the shadow impact across the street," he said.

"We're talking about the armpit of Yorkville. This is a great location for a five-star hotel and is a great opportunity for the revitalization of the east side of Yorkville," he said.

Mr. Rae said his office has already seen retailers' proposals to move into the area because of the Four Seasons project.

"The community was [at the OMB hearing] and they agreed to it. The one group that did oppose it had their day in court."

The project will not only benefit the immediate community but the city as a whole, according to a spokeswoman for Menkes Ltd., the managing partner in Bay- Yorkville Developments.

"The $500-million project will create great economic opportunity, including 1,600 construction jobs," said Mimi Ing.

I like the shape.

wasn't the original plan for the sapphire tower a supertall?

wasn't the original plan for the sapphire tower a supertall?

originaly, it tallest proposal was 342m..but thats long dead. the new proposal is around 196m

They killed it! I loved that original design - it looked like The Daily Planet building.

Pardon if I'm misinformed but why was the original design rejected?

Shadow issues over Nathan Phillips Square.

OMG, both versions; old or new are both amazing.

personally i prefer the origianal because of the height and how much it would benifit the Toronto skyline, but the new version i just as good.

any idea on when construction is to begin?

i like the new version better than the old because i think the old version would have dated really quick and the new design is still unique but in a less in your face way

It's a miracle if this thing ever actually gets off the ground. The is the fourth or fifth design for a tower at that site by Harry Stinston and (correct me if I'm wrong) but only one of the towers ever made it into sales. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a new tower get built at the site, but the two story "family townhouse" for $600,000+ seems like a hard sell, especially when most of the condos being sold in downtown are empty nesters, singles and young couples. Oh well, I'm hoping but not expecting much.

I'm interested in one of those 'vertical' townhouses. I'm a baby-boomer, and ready to move into a condo from a large house. Most of the tens of thousands of units that have been built the past few years are small one and two bedroom layouts that are simply too claustrophobic, after you have lived in larger homes for 30 years. I think there is a market, and it will increase in size over the years.

151 Front Street West looks awesome, but what's with the podium? Does it incorporate an existing building? If so what's the significance?

It's a data/telecom hotel, where basically Toronto would crash if something happened to it. It has to remain operation throughout construction - therefore the incorporation.

Cool. Thanks for that.:okay:

anybody got any info on 1 bloor east?
