Supertall and near-Supertall Rumour/Speculation Thread

Wong tam would never allow for a building over 200m in that area, yet alone a new tallest.

Wasn't that the parking lot they petitioned to be turned into a park?

There's no park happening here, just wishful discussion. Out of the gate, it's looking something like 3 X 50's here - http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showthr...-Quadrangle%29

Looks like we have passed the peak of the boom...no more supertall rumours! :-)

It's funny that the only publicly proposed supertalls to date (Oxford Place) were not part of the rumours, although if the tallest 1 Yonge tower does reach 300m it will be on a much-discussed supertall location.

It appears that a lot of the rumoured supertalls ended up being shortened or split into two for economic reasons. However there are still a few potential supertalls that we have heard nothing about for some time (for example the 100s Synergy residential project), which could still be announced in the future.

The tallest tower at the 1&7 Yonge site is planned as 272m just to the top floor. That figure doesn't include mechanical floors or that large roof feature. We are easily looking at 300-315 meters here. All these plans are subject to change though.

Depending on how demographic trends play out, those hoping for supertalls might have more luck in the next development cycle. Hard to believe given the volume of construction and activity but there are still just too many building sites in this city. We greatly under-appreciate sometimes the sheer geographic size of even the City of Toronto proper.

not allowed to say anything more than this, so don't ask, but something HUGE is coming to the downtown core.. but not supertall huge. (probably one of dozens of projects on the go right now, but this is the first/only one I have ever had insider knowledge of.)

This project I was hinting at has now come to the public light. (2 queen street west)

Edit: Found the thread.

Nice! Is there a web site up, a thread started yet, or any other details available?
