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..

Toronto06 · August 31st, 2006, 04:26 PM

any recent updates?

LordMandeep · August 31st, 2006, 05:24 PM

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.

***Taller, Better*** · August 31st, 2006, 05:40 PM

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.

LordMandeep · August 31st, 2006, 09:21 PM

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...

Ritz Carlton: 213M or 699 Feet
Maple Leaf Square Tower 1: 184M or 610 feet
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

Martinsizon · September 9th, 2006, 08:47 PM

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

monkeyronin · September 9th, 2006, 09:42 PM

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

Jaye101 · September 9th, 2006, 09:58 PM

Who said it was cancelled?

Waterloo_Guy · September 9th, 2006, 10:41 PM

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.

monkeyronin · September 9th, 2006, 11:05 PM

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.

will.exe · October 6th, 2006, 04:45 AM

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

Marcanadian · October 20th, 2006, 01:46 AM

"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

valantino · October 20th, 2006, 02:06 AM

thanks for the link, Marcanadian

WOW, what an update

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

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