Toronto EQ Bank Tower | 105.18m | 23s | First Gulf | Sweeny &Co

[innsertnamehere]

are we sure 84m is correct? is that the height for when it was 18 floors?

Edit: looked at the architectural plans on the cities website, its actually 103m.

Database file and thread title updated to reflect that the 23rd storey will be partly office amenity space, that the height is now 104.2 metres, and to recognize other companies involved in the design.

Approved, but amended, but City Council. Not sure what was amended yet.

Interesting design. Wish they'd not do blue glass, again, but the massing looks fairly promising.

In Toronto’s land war, condo builders are better armed

Many times an office developer won't even bid on a parcel if it has any residential possibilities, that includes major mixed-use projects, such as the Well at Front and Spadina, that are becoming more common in the city. That means commercial developers are having to get very crafty to find new land.

"There are no more easy sites left, every site that we'd look at has complications and challenges," says Derek Goring, vice-president of development at office developer First Gulf Corp. "We have a project at 25 Ontario St. and it's essentially too big for a one-tower and not big enough for a two-tower residential site. It's big enough to fit an office building – which requires more land than a residential building – and it's in this sweet spot that created an opportunity for us to buy the site competitively with how a residential developer would price it.

Why is this called The Shift? I don't see anything shifting here.
