^ lol you're right... I do know how lucky we are (unlike the large contingent of local UT forum whiners who hate everything ;-).

But it was so distasteful to post that Pemberton 'Social' abomination... I think I have settle my upset stomach by recapping some of my future favs that are in the pipeline (proposed/approved).

I'd be happy if half of these 'scrapers eventually emerge unscathed and built close to their render promise:

My picks to join the 200 metre to 300 metre+ club (pandemic and city planning be damned ;-):

372 Yonge - 74 storeys/248 metres

UT

475 Yonge - 78-storey/255.25 metres and 75-storey/246.4 metres

UT

55 Yonge Street - 66 storeys/236.21 metres

UT

8 Elm - 68 storeys/217.85 metres (recent re-design a huge improvement)

UT

UT

310 Front Street West - 69 storeys/235.5 metres[/B]

UT

11 Bay Street - 54 storey/269.45 metre office tower (likely has best the shot of all office tower proposals - rumoured to have a marquee tenant interested)

UT

Union Park - 58 storey/303.26 metre tall office tower plus 2nd office tower, 2 residential towers and apark decking over the rail corridor. Likely a long wait for this one but hey it's my list.

UT

Forma (approved/sales) - Gehry-designed 84 storeys/308.00 metres and 266.50 metres/73 storeys

UT

212 King Street West - 80-storey/311.8 metre mixed-use building (designed by SHoP Architects)

UT

2180 Yonge - 70 storeys/253.5 m (tallest of 5 mixed-use towers proposed).

UT

1200 Bay Street - 87 storey/324 metres - likely a long shot but this ultra skinny design from Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron would be fun to watch rise.

UT

Edited to add Santiago Calatrava's son Gabriel's (first ?) skyscraper:

30 Scollard | 230.89m | 61s | Constantine Enterprises | CA
