Scare the bejesus in a good way, or a bad way?

If it's Morguard's site, I'm betting P+S.

82 floors x 3.2m per floor (low-end) = 262m
82 floors x 3.5m per floor (mid-range) = 287m
82 floors x 3.9m per floor (high-end, new FS is 3.92m per floor) = 320m

there will probably be some major retail at the base.. so you are looking at a 2-3 floor 15-30m base, (i would think) if you add 3.4m a floor for 79-80 residential floors, and a 5-15m mechbox/ roof feature, you are looking at 292-317m
and with any luck, the developers go above 298m just so they can say they have the new tallest building in the city.

Yeah, even if this 82 storey tower includes at least 20% office space (16s) which would be appropriate for that location, it will easly become Toronto’s first supertall.

I havea feeling it will be all condos, but with a large retail base.

Can confirm what fedplanner says - 50 Bloor West and beastly.

by beastly do you mean ugly, or just a large tower? does that mean an office component?

Honestly I don't know the details. All I can say for pretty-well sure is it's the Holt's site, and the proposal will be for just over eighty storeys.

something i spent 30 seconds on;
this rumour at 320m, with a 70 floor 1 Bloor there. (it will be 75 when built)

The thing to watch for here is whether it's a serious proposal or not. I don't believe Morguard develops condos (I could be wrong) so this may be just an upzoning excercise to establish a higher value for the property.

I doubt it, with all the giant influx of condos being constructed in Toronto; unless they are expecting an immigration boom they will have a tough time finding people to buy these condos.
My guess it will be a hybrid of office space and condos, or completely office space.

I think 'scaring the bejesus' out of the forum is the most interesting part......

I'm hoping that means something daring and bold, like Alsop, rather than something bland yet fussy, like P+S.
