Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge South Block | 296m | 85s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

I noticed yesterday that there is a New(ish) FOR LEASE sign on the lower building attached to the main (former) Toronto Star Building - on QQE side just west of Freeland St. I thought the whole complex was up for demo??

...since they haven't released anything since their last announcement, I am assuming thy are not ready to go forward with this including the demo...and likely won't be for awhile. Or at least until the market is more robust here for a more concrete directions.

Wonder what goes up faster - office space at 1 Yonge or The Hub a block away….

The Hub is at least starting with an empty lot 😂

If I recall correctly, that sign was up months before the demolition was announced, and was for the vacant retail space that the financial services centre used to occupy.
 
It is surprising that no plans have been released that show the updated vision for this site. Does anybody have any insight into what is going on behind the scenes?
 
Application is (finally) in: 85 and 80 storeys.. I'll leave it to others to post the details:

app.toronto.ca

296m, so just short of a supertall. 2400 units and over 200 hotel units.. a beast. This would be the largest condo building in the city by a significant margin in terms of unit count.

That actually looks really cool holy setbacks and the brownie bronze exterior will definitely create some variation on the site only issue I have is surrounding sky Tower with all of these buildings that just come to the 300 m height will make the building look less planned and just stuck in there

What's the file number here? Your link only goes to the main AIC search page, not a project page.

If only they had this foresight in the initial planning phases - this could have been a “The Well” level of development….shame they didn’t take advantage.

odd. not showing up on the regular AIC.

I've seen this issue before as I still use the "old" AIC which appears to some times get applications "earlier" than the new AIC:

Development Applications

City Planning COA Application Information Center
secure.toronto.ca
 
I suspected @innsertnamehere 's antiquarian ways were responsible for the difficult to find application!

I had the old app bookmarked, but had to go dig it up!

Files incoming.

A look at Staff's influence on what you see through the pre-application process:

I would put money on that this won't be built in my lifetime, but I wouldn't be around to collect it if I win... >.<
