I've been expecting this for awhile now....

From the Cover Letter:

 

[ushahid]

they have submitted 4 pages of documents on the dev application. they are pretty serious.

and there is going to be a Hudson yards style observation deck on the top floors of the building. that is cool. now let's find a tenant and let's build this thing.

The elevation drawings look quite like the HPA rendering posted by interchange42 a few pages back.

Is it an antenna or is it truly a structural spire. Because if it's a structural spire, from the perspective of the CTBUH they dont care the tower screen ends at 296m this is still going to get supertall status as dumb as that rule is.

If it's not structural then this is yet another lost supertall. At this rate Toronto must be on its way to owning the title of city with the most buildings within 10m of supertall status. That's gotta count for something right?

 

[3Dementia]

I think you meant architectural rather than structural.

CTBUH uses the following (oft-debated) height criteria: "the architectural top of the building, including spires, but not including antennae, signage, flagpoles or other functional-technical equipment".

So if this spire is useless adornment (not functional and no flag flying)... the building is a super-tall... go figure.

I'm curious where you got this number from... my calculator shows 296.996m.

This development deserves to pass the supertall status number ! Being located between Bay and Yonge financial district come on city council !

 

[fanoftoronto]

This is a chunky looking boi!

I'm really loving the observation deck protruding out of the building! Here is the floorplan of the deck! It looks like the opposite side incorporates a terrace as well!

There also seems to be a Sky Lobby at Level 34, about halfway up the tower. Unsure if this will be publicly accessible, but it would make for an amazing place for a restaurant too!

Also, with regards to the height, Wellington Street is lower than the "Ground Level" shown in the architectural plans. Maybe that extra height would knock this building past the 300m mark? Here's to hoping!

 

[ushahid]

^i think it only adds 2m to the height, still not a supertall.

IMO, it's disappointing this building isn't taller. Seeing as it's going to be the new crown jewel of the financial district, I wish it would have stood above First Canadian Place.

This will be taller than FCP by a few metres.
