Northern Light at UT has posted: "In this morning's Toronto Star, the city has a statutory notice for an application for a 58-storey tower at Front and John (Condo)."

This would be on the NW corner.....no further details yet.........

Waterloo_Guy · June 9th, 2007, 02:06 AM

Hmmm. Anyone have a pic of the lot?

yyzer · June 9th, 2007, 02:45 AM

this by Andrew3D....note its location, right next to the hydro substation....dunno if that's good or not....

I bet CBC will fight this on the grounds that a building that tall and close will disrupt all those satellite dishes on the roof of CBC.

Well Ritz is 51 stories and right beside the CBC - even closer than this one.

Damn, I was hoping it was offices.

Waterloo_Guy · June 9th, 2007, 06:27 AM

Is the site just the shaded area, or is that bit of land to the west also included?

phunky · June 9th, 2007, 07:48 AM

It's the whole parking lot I'd assume. Not just 3/4 of it. lol.

rise_against · June 9th, 2007, 08:47 AM

Prime spot...wish it was an office and not another point tower...but really i think we are getting spoiled when a 58 story tower is not good enough lmao. Got to love Toronto!

I'm just concerned about whether Tridel can pull off something that big.

The largest highrise condo developer in the city that has sold more million plus dollar condos than all others combined?!?

or are you refering tobout architecture which they have been improving upon but still lag behind those at the top - I say that this partnership can only be good for Toronto (as in Raffles will set the mood)

Yes, it's the quality I'm concerned about, not their resources. I'm just not sure they can pull off something great.

valantino · June 15th, 2007, 06:16 AM

I knew what you meant and I'd be surprised if Tridel settles for another Burka or Rafael etc given how long its been since we first heard that they were looking for a signature project (think it was even VofE two or three years ago)

Filip · June 15th, 2007, 06:17 AM

Well all signs point to this being their flagship along with Raflles! Can't wait to hear more news on this (reminds me of the ecstacy I felt when the Shangri-La rumours came about!)

Here's the city planning report:

Tall and slim, just the way I like'm.

Waterloo_Guy · September 5th, 2007, 05:26 AM

I like the slim profile.

orangeman · September 5th, 2007, 05:57 AM

I hope its not condo green glass

worldwide · September 5th, 2007, 10:34 AM

that looks great

caltrane74 · September 5th, 2007, 09:02 PM

Did you guys see these Wylipoon renderings?

Link at 3D Warehouse

Putting it in context... (CBC Broadcast Centre model by Lunny, CN Tower model by 3dimensia at 3D Warehouse)

HousBinPharteen · September 5th, 2007, 11:51 PM

wow, great renderings!

Kinda highlighted for me why they didn't just buy that parking lot beside them.... that little stub at the back is going to be an odd addition.

I would think having this building come up is going to make it harder to build a highrise in the adjacent parking lot..

CrazyCanuck · September 6th, 2007, 03:12 AM

That area is looking tall. It will serve as another cluster to the west.
