Not sure, will merge the threads later with confirmation.

This is Star Tower, confirmed.

 

[Solaris]

yes this is indeed the Final Report for Star Tower's development application ... refer to the overall site plan on page 16 to see its relationship to the first 2 towers in Beyond The Sea

also, the application file # matches with that in the Preliminiary Report

The doomed plaza, future site of the huge Star Tower:

Eradicate all crappy suburban plazas!

Is that exacvation for one of these 3 towers?

 

[Towered]

The excavation is for both of the first 2 phases - the 37 storey tower along Lakeshore with the 26 storey tower tucked behind it to the north. The 44 storey Star Tower (phase 3) will be built where that gross plaza is, which is directly next to the excavation, to the east (the back of the plaza can be seen in the 3rd pic).

Thanks for the pics Towered, digging up this hole has taken a long time....

I thought that might have been the case. Thanks for the info and photos.

Plans to move forward with the third phase of a multi-tower development on Lake Shore Boulevard just north of Humber Bay Park were passed by Etobicoke-York Community Council this week.

At their monthly meeting Thursday morning, councillors voted unanimously to move staff recommendations that will pave the way for a 44-storey, 341-unit condominium and townhouse building at 2230 Lake Shore Boulevard. The project is intended to be integrated with two residential mixed-use condominium towers currently under construction at 2242 and 2246 Lake Shore Boulevard West, which will stand at 27 and 36 storeys.

Very good news!

They probably did it outta fear for their own jobs: unemployed trades do not make happy voters. I expect every proposal in 2009 will be rubber stamped.

 

[Pretzel]

Thanks for the great new Dziogo, can't wait to see this whole development go up!

 

[Pretzel]

Drove by the site today, looks like the plaza is gone. Sorry, didn't have my camera on me. I'll try to take some photos this week before I leave.

 

[Pretzel]

As promised

This is where the plaza use to be...

Give it a couple of years and its going to be quite a sight entering Toronto from the QEW/Gardiner West.

I wonder how can the residents living in California condos right beside the track tolerate it, they must be constantly feeling the thrunder and earthquake and in the long run suffer mental and health problem. Any thought?

Considering the California condo isn't even built yet... I would say they're probably just fine.
