There are plans on the drawing board I'm sure, but still early in the planning stages.

Leftcoaster had mentioned that he's seen a rendering for one which is in preliminary stages and may get chopped into two towers.

LeftCoaster Dec 6, 2011 8:39 PM

Yeah, bad news is looks like the financials are driving the plans towards two (still very tall) towers over one supertall. The good thing though is there is still a ton of work to do and both options are still very much on the table.

The other good news is regardless of which plan goes ahead the renderings of the towers should be coming public soon.

Don't believe it till you see it. A motto that works in all possible senerios with the exception of the return of Christ.

You can't be serious in an age where projects one tenth the size of a 100 storeys are being dropped left, right, and centre.

Worst part of urbantoronto are all the insular Hume cronies that have no idea what they are bitching about. Toronto ain't perfect or are we the best at one thing or another but that hardly makes the grass greener elsewhere.

Was looking at 1 Bloor West yesterday. Site to small for a supertall.

Holt Renfrew, Cumberland Terrace, Yorkville Parking Garages, and 1 Yonge remain the best hope, now that the 197 Yonge lot will be spoken for with a 50ish or 60ish Storey tower.

^Hmm you seem to be missing a location.

I've gotta think that the World's Biggest Bookstore is prime land for a supertall. Right off Yonge & Dundas and no parks or lowrises in sight.

Com'on Toronto Peoples! We need you here!

A month ago or so I saw one of those balloons hovering over the Yonge and College area--perhaps taking shots of the views from a possible tall highrise coming in 2012?

Cityzen's next Ma tower in Mississauga promises to be tall and bold.

Some news regarding one of the possible supertall sites should be coming out within the first two weeks of the new year.

That will be a great way to start the new year! (as long as the news is positive)...:cheers:

Gresto Dec 14, 2011 7:59 PM

Looking forward to hearing what's doing.
