This would look great amongst the other tall towers here.

IMO, this is where the city should be concentrating the tallest proposals/developments, instead of along the waterfront.

 

[LUVIT!]

Very optimistic proposal. It 's tall no doubt and definitely a dramatic proposal. However I truly do not believe the city will allow this to move forward at this height. It will set too many precedents on so many levels no pun intended.

The City is not concentrating on the waterfront in the way you suggest, and doesn't make the proposals unless they are public facilities. It's developers that submit proposals, (any landowner is a potential developer), and the City is duty bound to review every application, no matter where they are.

My understanding is it will get the green light because the city wants the money.

 

[ushahid]

^Not as tall though.

That would be interesting. Is this based on some source or something? Or is this just your expectation?

yeah and 1 Bloor East.

 

[concrete_and_light]

With all respect to the guy in the news clip, this is not a criticism, I'm pretty sure he was just speculating and making up (very plausible and possibly accurate!) theories about why the City might welcome the building in response to the host's question — it didn't sound to me like he had any information. Although possibly he does and that was informed speculation, hard to say, but that's just my read on how he was speaking.

 

[NeilV]

Also that news clip is nearly a year old - from shortly after the building was proposed, and before anyone from the City had a chance to weigh in on it. I wouldn't read too much into what that reporter said.

Let's be realistic, after this pandemic is over Toronto will need the money, and lots of it to survive the tough times ahead. haha
Time to bring a world class venue to OP, Have Orca start their Rail Deck Park,, Re-open the Downtown Casino plan @ Union Park-2, etc. and much more

Every city has to have a ferris wheel!

 

[stjames2queenwest]

I’d be cool with a Ferris wheel. Also would love that don valley gondola plan to re-emerge
