Toronto The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

[ProjectEnd]

I don't recall ever seeing the yellow external structure...seems we have the same amount of colour in this one as the last.

Was never public. The colour was sadly removed by the initial submission.

I just hope the "skygarden" is retained, that's what would truly make this project unique. I wouldn't be surprised if (hopefully i'm wrong) it was stripped right out of the project altogether.

This is a high-end office complex, i doubt much will change here

Resubmitted Plan for The HUB Office Tower Includes Twin Spires | UrbanToronto

Oxford Properties have submitted revised plans for The Hub, a proposed 59-storey office tower in Toronto's South Core area to the City. Changes mean one less storey, architectural spires, and more.

urbantoronto.ca

it looks better now. the glass is darker than it was before and with that mechanical structure it looks like a wrapped gift. I like it

Yup, can't wait to see The Hub @ 60s/274m and CIBC-2 @ 54s/242m go up at the same time ...good times

im not worried about the quality of this project, Oxford always deliver what they promise. the only worry is I hope they can start construction as soon as possible and I hope Oxford doesn't shorten the tower after approval like CIBC or 160 Front.

The Hub will dominate the traditional postcard view:

Be sure to invest in Home Depot - all weather shrubs and tall cedars - they'll make a minor fortune here.

Hmm? the next wave of development?... hopefully soon

Looking back to the original Avison Young report.........there is some more interesting data there.

A supply crisis persists in Toronto’s red-hot downtown market, which posted a first-quarter vacancy rate of 1.9% – down 60 bps year-over-year and still hovering near the historic low of 1.8% set at year-end 2018.

**

The amount of office area confirmed or under construction remained steady at 11.2 msf (58% preleased )

Construction continues on 9.6 msf of space in the downtown market, with 57% preleased at the end of the quarter. That number is poised to jump to 71%, however, as speculation was rampant near quarter-end that pending deals

We've seen the largest portion of those pending deals come to fruition with TD taking 33 floors in 160 Front, but it's interesting that there's speculation of a pending deal for 65 King East that was being built on spec.

With not so many completions slated for the rest of 2019 I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two more projects go ahead!

Parking lot is fenced off. Not sure why. Will walk by later to take a better look.

 

[raptor]

I walked by the site and at the parking entrance, it said the lot is closed between May and June, with a bunch of generators occupying the site. My interpretation is that the closure is temporary, hope I'm wrong

Could they be preparing a staging area for the (still potential) NBA Finals?
