Nope. An additional rezoning was filed with the City a little while ago.

But it doesn't make any sense
Are they scarping one the buildings and doubling another.
I really can't see the design working at 30 stories.
Also, what are the odds the city would even permit a 30+ story building right on the water.

Cityzen could probably tell you more, but from what I know its on the northwest portion of the site and the rest of the development is still a-go as planned. Its a big site, they have a fair bit of room to work with. As far as what the City will permit, I guess we'll see, but there's no shortage of precedent along the lakeshore of tall buildings that have been permitted.

Thanks DSC & Architecturefan for uncovering details of the mysterious Phases 3+4 is finally revealed ...
I'm not suprised by the 35 storeys tower though as Cityzen has always suggested something similar since Pier 27's first launch~
It all makes sense now on the Site Plan ... so I guess the 2x 13s buildings will be in the middle and the 35s tower will be located on the top left ~

I guess the days of highrise towers being built on Queen's Quay on the harbourfront are not over!

Considering they need an OPA and rezoning, I wouldn't count on a revival any time soon. It will be interesting to see the details when it comes out.

This may still happen..........http://www.toronto.ca/planning/urbdesign/pdf/44_1yongestreet.pdf
And for years they have been talking about building overtop the convention centre down there, also dont forget the empty lots next to the WTC.

I think he means on the south side of Queens Quay. I say let them have their 35 storey ... heck, give 'em 50 ... for the two 13 storey towers.

Well realistically, who would buy a south facing unit here for premium dollars without a view? So floors 15-35 can sell for top dollar. It'll probably be another aA stunner, so jolly good show!

Does someone have a link to the zoning application for the high rise?
BTW, have any resales of presale spots occurred yet? Any guesstimates as to real-world condo fees? A family member may be considering a 2-bedroom.
EDIT:
That was reply #1000 for this thread.

I wonder if this is related to the future Pier 27 tower.
Currently, Clewes is working a tower for the Toronto waterfront — “that’s going to have enormous balconies” — that will use a special structural system not used in the city for a long time. “It allows you to do enormous cantilevers to create what will really be outdoor rooms.”

I'm quite certain that they had no right to stop you, assuming you were still on public property.
