Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

^ NE corner of Front/Simcoe, that lot is begging for something substantial.

In the distant future, the denizens of the fair City (or megalopolis, as it may be then) of Toronto are going to think that those who came before were very parochial when it came to matters of the height of their edifices . . .

I can just imagine.

In terms of building a supertall, why not any of the spots directly beside Scotia Plaza, currently occupied by some crummy, 60s era stumps? What about any areas on Yonge St., east of the current financial district?

Are any of those areas not prospective building locations? Haven't heard anybody make mention of those spots before.

Where's the rest of it (picture 1)?

It's an overexposed shot. That's why everything is all white.

I know, I was just fooling.

does anyone know when the path connection is slated for opening? They have all the signs up right now, but its still not open it seems.

probably because no one else sees them as crummy

BA3 which is the proposed north tower on Temperance Street is approved for a 165 meter building

IIRC, Brookfield applied for 165m but got 130m.

Looking at the official site plan (http://www.bayadelaidecentre.com/upl... WLetter.pdf) I noticed that the east tower says "office and residential tower".

the lastest incarnation is a 45 storey office tower.

Another kick-ass view from Parkdale.

It really does a long way in balancing out the skyline.
