Does anyone want a supertall tower on the waterfront? That current plans have no buildings remotely close to the scale of a supertall.

Except that at the time they were built, they were "supertall" enough--in several cases, The Tallest Building In The British Commonwealth. This was back when there were only 5-10 buildings in the world over 1000 feet, remember....
Mississauga will have one up before Toronto.
We will not see super-tall residential structures proposed in this city for at least a decade after the current batch is complete, and commercial super-talls will not be built in this city in our lifetimes.
Why do you say that? More skyscrapers have been built in Miller's time in office than in any similar time period in Toronto's history. That includes Trump, which was approved at over 1000 ft. Other than Stinson's tower that would have put shadows on Nathan Philips Square, how many 1000 ft proposals has this council has turned down?I agree that sooner or later this city will see a supertall 1200/1500 footer.but it wont be under this leftwing mayor and city council that seem to think that 1000ft is the cap.Mississauga will have one up before Toronto.
It was just over 40 years ago when the tallest building in the city was the Royal York Hotel.
Well, you could probably abandon hopes for a 'supertall' being proposed within the next decade or so. In the longer term though, I see no reason why a supertall is unlikely.
It might depend on how one defines "supertall"--after all, today's TD/CC/FCP/SP are supertalls by pre-Asian-boomtown standards...
