Our sister site UrbanToronto.ca reports on an update to a proposal for an ambitious multi-tower development in Downtown Toronto:

The site of Canada's largest hotel, the Eaton Chelsea at Yonge and Gerrard in Downtown Toronto, is primed to be redeveloped into one of Canada's tallest buildings. Hotel owner Great Eagle Holdings is drawing closer to approvals for their Chelsea Green project, with a new planning submission offering a look into updated plans, including a significant redesign by architectsAlliance.

Redevelopment was initially proposed in 2015 as four high-rise towers—proposed at 46, 50, 74, and 80 storeys. The plan was refined in 2016 and presented to the Design Review Panel as a three-tower plan with heights of 49, 88, and 88 storeys. Following a settlement at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), the project is back once again for a rezoning resubmission, this time seeking approval for three towers at 31, 48, and 84 storeys, reaching respective heights of 110.15, 163.5, and 275.75 metres.
