Under 100 City Centre Drive, there is a Site Plan Application for a 47 storey rental tower at the southeast corner of Rathburn Rd W and Duke of York Blvd:

Situated in Block 5:

A little birdie told me it is in fact, not just a single tower on that block. I'm not sure how to feel about this concept, I like density but this seems a bit too crowded with 5 towers. It seems like a missed opportunity to break the block up with another N/S road or pedestrian path between rathburn & square one dr if they get rid of T3. I'm also not sure where that east road is supposed to lead to lol, that's where the current transit terminal is.

Conceptual masterplan for the block:

I actually like it, but I am a minimalist. Contrasts with some of the weird architecture going up in Sauga

I actually don't mind it either. Kinda gives me office building vibes.

I like the design. But I am also confused what is going on with the east/west road and how it will actually terminate at the bus terminal.

Looks like the plan may be to relocate the bus terminal before the last phases are built.

I agree on a north-south pedestrian connection. They hardly need to change the plan to achieve it, only to make the podiums of the north block non-contiguous to allow for a pathway between buildings.

The plan already shows that:
