I am sure the first response will be a tearful reproach that I got someone's hopes up but have nothing to announce.
But Mongo's thread on supertall rumours was fun. I'd love to see us to track anything related to starchitects & toronto - current projects, rumours, even whispers. My sense is developers may be feeling the bar is about to get raised again, and the scale of some of their projects can pay for global talent.
We could track for example:
My hope is some of the supertalls coming have sought out celebrity architects if only because these will help Toronto attract more tourists. Wouild love to see a Gehry.

We could track for example:
- Sales success of Safdie's Monde (its critically important this succeed)
- The Oxford development has apparently sought out big names
- Ingels for Bayview & a Westbank project
- Ryerson's Yonge Street building
- etc
