Double the height of the current proposal as construction starts?

Fingers crossed.

If that's the case, I hope the design changes too. A 53 story building will dominate the waterfront skyline and therefore it deserves a much more spectacular design. Let's get something better than another grey, glass box. Would it kill the developers to actually put some effort (and money) and creativity into this very prominent building? With the new height, should come new demands.

Lets wait and see, I have a gut feeling he was mixing up 100 Adelaide West with this proposal but hey, crazier things have happened here in boom town so we could be seeing a major redesign with this building.

100 adelaide is 44 floors though.. unless they are going to increase the height again.

If it's getting a height increase to 53 floors, I really hope the design is changed. Nothing south of Front Street near the ACC stands out, and these buildings will be very visible from the classic Toronto Island view. Ice is probably the most unique of the lot, but I doubt it'll even be seen from the lake if all these new towers are going up.

Very nice indeed.

I can't believe this parking lot is gone, it used to provide a great view point to the city skyline passing by it everyday in the 509.
Still, skyscrapers are always welcomed
