Come On. We need to fill out that gap between the CN Tower and FCP.

I'll settle for 300 meters to 350 meters.

400 meters will allow us to put Chicago on Smackdown!

And that should be the goal.

London, Paris, Tokyo

Toronto should be here in 15 years.

Let's get a supertall (300-600m) before a megatall (600m+). One step at a time.

And yes, megatall is now a new category made by the council of tall buildings or whatever they're called. I guess with so many towers now over 300m a new category had to be created.

Yes, a few supertalls in the 350-400 m. range would do me just fine. "Megatalls" aren't economically feasible.

300 metres is great, but it should be at least 304.8 metres to the roof (1000 feet), just to shut up any American naysayers...

Yorkville or Yonge/Dundas area would be perfect location for a supertall to balance out the skyline and create focus outside the MINT core.

You're right. As muc as some of us ate to admit it, the supertall is a concept established in the US and as always been 1000 ft. A fact that's easy to forget when living in the land of metric.

My h, g, apostrophe, backspace and escape keys don't work. I usually use an on screen keyboard for them, but sometimes I forget.

It is unimaginably annoying, but fortunately my new laptop just arrived today!

I have a Dell Laptop (brand new!!) at work and an old ACER Inspire that I bought last year for my home...

So far, no problems with the keyboard on my home computer, but sometimes slows down when there are too many programs running.

It uses an AMD chip, my one at work is Intel.

World's tallest buildings 2020. To compare, Canada's tallest building is 298m.

Toronto definitely needs something in the 400m-450m range. Or maybe a little higher on a par with, for example from the picture posted above, the Shanghai WTC. Then with the addition of a few more towers in the 300-350m range, the skyline will begin to look even more impressive on the world stage.

Well as far as economics are concerned, we are more likely to get a building in the 300 to 330 meter range.


Let's see.

Waiting for projects to Materialize:

1 Yonge
Holts Twin Towers???
