Slower than frozen molasses.

DoFo wants to build a "big, beautiful, best ever" convention centre on the waterfront: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-muses-about-filling-in-part-of-toronto-waterfront-convention-centre-9.7117750

That's it, eh? I was under the same faulty impression as a couple of others here that there was a slew of proposals and builts just under the "supertall" mark.

What can I say, I love it. (Shrug) But yes, it is peculiar that so many Toronto proposals are 299m.

Every time this is bumped, I hope to see something commencing here with Phase 2, but it is far too soon to expect that. I hope they are not ultimately cancelled.

Yeah, I was sent a link to the petition by a neighbour, but haven't signed it. I'm ambivalent about this project. Neither for nor against.

True. When the condo market thaws, the remaining phases of One Yonge and Sugar Wharf will do the job nicely, but I wouldn't mind having developments of comparable scale west of the CN Tower.

I remember that! It sure has been a spell. Wonder what happened to him? He seemed like a total dirtbag. Maybe he ended up in prison, or dead. I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't take it personally. UT initiation invariably involves the new recruit asking about the status of a building whose thread hasn't seen action since the Chretien years. ;)

It's axiomatic that having a subway very close by makes a condo building more attractive to prospective buyers than one that is nowhere near transit options.

The new LRT will hopefully light a flame under condo sales in this area.

I hope you are right.

It's a problem when the bare minimum is acceptable and developers of low-or-no integrity, interested exclusively in every last drop of profit, who nurture no personal emotional investment in Toronto, are allowed to cobble together something at rock-bottom costs. Skyscrapers are manifestly not...

Lazy bum! You can't fix it?;)

And I have died, been reincarnated, and lived 51 years since One Bloor West was first proposed. When this was proposed, I was a 77-year-old Vietnamese rice farmer.
