Facts:

-Two towers, 55 + 65 floors

-part of "York Centre" development, which will also include 31 story, 800k square foot tower, and 1 acre landscaped plaza surrounded by retail

-will extend PATH (currently 27 km long, nearly 1300 stores/restaurants, 4.5 million square feet retail) - http://www.toronto.ca/path/index.htm

-directly across the street from Maple Leaf Square ( http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=116528 ), 50+54 story condos with nearly 100k square feet of retail/restaurant space.

[americanskyscraper22]

:banana: approved :) i never thought this project would go anywhere

[Wheelingman04]

Holy crap. Those towers are awesome!!!

[kiwi4life]

so when may this start construction?

[JustinL]

Awesome!

So does it look like this will go ahead, even in this climate?

[yyzer]

just an update....the first tower in the project was released for sale a few months ago, and it is the shorter 55S tower....per several posters at urbantoronto, it is now about 70% sold.....not sure when construction would begin for the first tower, but the developers are Cadillac Fairview and Lanterra Developments, 2 well established players in the Toronto market...

hopefully we will see this one proceed...the market for new condos in Toronto, while way down from last year, seems to be showing some signs of life...

btw, the proposed heights are as follows...

office - 31 storeys - 156.9 m (514.7 ft)

Res 1 - 55 storeys - 185.8 m (609.58 ft)

Res 2 - 65 storeys - 216.8 m (711.28609 ft)

Nice looking towers.

[DetroitSky]

VERY nice!

[Cypherus]

Indeed, those towers look great; enough to give Vancouver condos a run for their money.

anything new with this tower? i know its a go ahead.... but is it U/C yet?

More hoarding progress. They're going straight to the covered hoarding, rather than doing the dig and only putting fences around as protection.

This is taken from across York street looking west. If you look at the gap between the covered hoarding and the construction trailer on the left of the photo in the distance you'll see the hoarding they put up to close the gap between the gardner ramp and the fences of the infiniti site.

***just discovered this thread! I guess i don't explore this website that often :haha: !

[Davis137]

These are really going to build up the area south of the CDB a lot!

[Innsertnamehere]

***just discovered this thread! I guess i don't explore this website that often ! yep, i thought of these towers randomly and looked them up, and to my surprise there were no posts in 8 Months!

anyways can someone find more detailed photos to confirm its U/C? (if it is)

[borgo100]

I don't understand why they have 2 small-ish towers when you could have 1 large one :shrug:

[Nouvellecosse]

^ Because: a) two smaller towers are less expensive to build than one larger one, and b) they aren't actually smallish, they are largish, all over 500 ft and one over 200m which is very high for a residential building. The tallest would be the tallest building in any Canadian city outside Toronto (except Calgary after the Bow is finished) and would be in the top 5-10 tallest if built in any but the largest cities in NA.

[bob1954]

610' and 711' that isn't too bad! For condo towers, Calgary and a couple others wish they could get something even close to that!!

[Gresto]

^Actually, to my understanding, those heights have been increased to 728' and 630'.:tup:

[MolsonExport]

Is this a go?

[isaidso]

Yes. They will set the foundations for the 2 condo towers. The office building is approved, but is planned upon completion of the residential.

[Innsertnamehere]

they have begun digging. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=577534&page=24

this one is U/C according to the diagrams....

[caltrane74]

I revised one of my renders from a while back.

I increased the heights of ICE I and II. As well I added Infinity 4 and the Southcore complex of the Delta Hotel and Bremner Tower.

Traynor did a rendering on ICE 1 and 2 in the Canada Section

You can see from this view, the classic view. Ice 1 and 2 will appear to be the tallest towers in the city.

[The North One]

wow, this looks really nice, but the top kinda reminds me of cheese.

[Innsertnamehere]

can someone change this to PREP?

and yes, i think the top looks like a slice of swiss cheese!

[PhilippeMtl]

Wow, these towers are sick! Gardiner Expwy will soon be in the middle of a canyon.

[mr.sandbag]

gotta love that i got a 1200 sqft unit in trendy Mount Pleasant in Vancouver w/ mountains and downtown view for $60 less a sqft... did i mention the 760 sqft terrace as well... move in next may...

will add that these are really sick though and would love them here in van... I can only dream though

A lot of people seem to dump on the Gardiner expwy wanting to see it torn down, let me tell you when all these towers are constructed this will be one of the most spectacular drives (day or night) in North America

[caltrane74]

On this forsure, I agree!

[steveve]

A lot of people seem to dump on the Gardiner expwy wanting to see it torn down, let me tell you when all these towers are constructed this will be one of the most spectacular drives (day or night) in North America

exactly. and considering the majority of these buildings along the gardner are new, glass skyscraper condos, it'll be amazing. too bad these weren't ocean front condos though. THAT would be amazing. the gardiner is still amazing for car commercials though :D

btw: isn't this U/C already? (construction crane)

[caltrane74]

Yeah, now that the crane has been installed they should be pouring concrete. But who knows, Tony had to move L Tower from proposed to the highrise construction thread. L Tower was almost at ground level when it was finally updated to the right sub-forum.

When it does move over the floors need to be updated to 57 floors and 67 floors.

[Innsertnamehere]

u/C!!!

[caltrane74]

Yes there is concrete foundation there. I see it with the rebar.

But alas... we may have to wait till Tony T comes along and moves this over to the proper subforum.

TORONTO | Ice Condominiums | 57 + 67 Floors | 202 Meters | 234 Meters

Whenever you guys get a chance.. Looks like they have concrete foundation.

[caltrane74]

Please move to construction highrise sub forum. There is formed concrete foundation, Formed elevator core/shaft, and formed concrete columns at the site as we speak.

Concrete forming continues on the base, parking level columns and the Elevator Shaft.

Moving along well, should see crane #2 shortly.

[Gresto]

They are moving along well. At this pace they should be at-grade by summer, or sooner.

first you took our streetcars.

Thread moved, title changed, and I added your Toronto smiley to the thread. Does anyone have confirmed - or even reported - heights for these towers? If so, post them along with a credible source, and I'll edit the thread title accordingly.

234 Meters and 202 Meters.


Whippersnapper gets the numbers from the developer application filed with the city.

oops, I forgot, the heights have been increased these towers are 67 storeys and 57 storeys. they got a 2 floor increase early to middle of last year.

[caltrane74]

Cellphone quality, but an decent angle for an update nonetheless:

triple crane action here!!! (though 1 is for infinity i think). Is this pit bigger/the same size as Aura's?

taken today:

[Innsertnamehere]

looks bigger than aura's, if you include the infinity pit.

[caltrane74]

Finally I have a weekend free with Family day.. for a proper downtown update including this and L Tower.

[yaletown_fella]

Another Infinity? What a waste of prime land :( I'd actually rather have an empty lot for the next 5 years.

[caltrane74]

Look on the bright side, it's density filler. And there are still enough parking lots to be filled along the Gardiner Expressway. So all hope is not lost.

[Jstaleness]

I remember years ago when I first realized that skyscrapers were an interest of mine. Before I joined this forum. I had seen an overhead view of Downtown TO and couldn't believe the surface parking. Someone must have read my thoughts. Since then nothing but tower after tower has begun to change that.
Hopefully 2012 isn't true and Toronto can finish the jobs.

:previous: Nothing like seeing the start of construction. Will this be going up fast, or is is it planned more as a slow-growth thing? Make more images as it goes along if you get the chance. I am kind of digging how your shot casts it all in blue, plus the fact that it includes that bottle. Stop construction at day-end, then leave the soda for tomorrow.

[Innsertnamehere]

they will be building both towers at once, so i wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit slower of a development, at least from a one tower development standpoint.
