TORONTO | 80 Bloor Street W | 874 FT | 79 FLOORS
A proposal has been submitted for an 68 storey tower (potentially 232 meters give or take - calculations of height provided by Mongo). This one is down the street from the 83 storey Holt Renfrew tower proposal.
Details: 80 BLOOR ST W Ward 27 - Tor & E.York District Rezoning application to develop the site into a 68 storey residential mixed use building for 68 floors (plus mechanical penthouse) and will include 39,810m2 of residential area (85 bachelor units, 300 one-bedrooms, 123 two-bedrooms, and 57 three-bedrooms) and 3,465m2 of retail space. There will be 181 parking spaces provided below grade for residential use. Preliminary Renders from 2012 courtesy of ZachBalbino (these renders are no way "official"). Inspiration for the design of the tower were mainly based upon Jean Nouvel's MoMa Tower. http://www.candidbling.com/80BloorRender1.jpg http://www.candidbling.com/80BloorRender3.jpg The tower would replace this existing building. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps07de5684.jpg |

I've made a drawing for this tower. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=100893

Excellent effort as usual, koops, and, this being Toronto, I suspect this will come in at well under 800 ft. Still, one thing I love about Toronto architecture is the dearth of spires.

Yeah its all fake...
Probably within a few years they'll build a fake building based on the fake renders. And then after that fake rich people will move into the fake tower... **sarcasm alert** |
OK, he said these renderings were in no way official. So is this the design or not? It's a simple question.

As for 80 Bloor, I really like the wavy proposal in the rendering. |

Now 68 storey 224 meters/735 feet:cool:
Toronto and East York Community Council consideration on April 8, 2014 This application proposes a new 68-storey (214 metres plus a 10-metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 80 Bloor Street West with 3,465 square metres of retail and commercial uses on the concourse level, ground, ground mezzanine and second floors, and 39,810 square metres of residential floor area above. The existing 18-storey commercial/office tower on the site would be demolished. A total of 181 resident vehicular parking spaces are to be provided in a 5-level underground parking garage accessible from Critchley Lane. No parking is proposed for the commercial uses or residential visitors. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen...m=2014.TE31.44 http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2...file-67603.pdf |
^^ Great news.
This one is growing on me each time I see it. And I really liked it the first time I saw it! |
Amazing news that the render at the beginning of the thread is the official render. I'm gonna love seeing this go up.

Would have preferred something more sophisticated for the city's grande shopping street.
The podium looks like a huge missed opportunity for a little mall (Think like a more condensed version of the Collonade or the little Arcade style shopping promenade that used to exist on Yonge) Fingers crossed it's not lousy 1 street retail with tall ceilings. I liked the first tower design but in the new version the overabundance of balconies just kills it. |
Is this in sales yet? Probably pre-sales.
|
Nice and broad, i love it!
|
I actually thought there was an update :s
