Canada's 50 Tallest Proposals

[caltrane74]

Went to see Dredd tonight, damn good movie.

Could swear I saw these towers somewhere in that movie.


Toronto is the future!

I wanna see a mixed-use supertall built closer to the spine of the city. I understand these towers are gonna change the "spine", but nonetheless, i don't think any of these designs are worthy of being Canada's tallest.

I agree with you on the two outside buildings, but the middle one is f'n amazing, I wish it was taller, I really like it.

I agree. I wish it was a bit more substantially taller than the other 2, say 310 meters to their 280 meters.

Su-per-tall. Su-per-tall

I prefer the first 2 on the left in the 1st set of models and the one on the right in the 2nd set of models. If we're to have Gehry, I'd rather not get a watered down version of one.

I'm waiting to get more definitive height numbers first, and possibly better renders as well...

My 2 cents worth on the actual towers - at least they're tall.

At least there's no rush.


This block won't get cleared for a at least 2 years. (IMO)

I agree with this sentiment. If we have to have the Dr. Seuss of architects design these buildings, then they better look as Dr. Seuss-y as possible.

Really like the proposal.. just when everyone thought things in Toronto were slowing down too! Shame they aren't taller, but I'm assuming that things like that can be adjusted. Since they're so close you would think they would try for being the tallest (and a supertall at that).. it would make them even more iconic!

best view we've seen yet of the towers ^
they don't stick out so much from there (good thing), and you can see the 150m neighbourhood that will be. (entertainment district).

i said this on the UT thread, but we should buy this design from NY and stick it here
*i'd see one of these (as a supertall) over all 3 of the Gehry proposals. hope it one day gets built

I like that New York proposal, but prefer the Ritz-Carlton Bangkok proposal:

I thought that was just the CN Tower sticking up behind it.

[Chadillaccc]

Oh I thought that might be the case. Sad panda.

[blacktrojan3921]

You know, it may in fact be a supertall, as it does look like from the picture that they will be a few metres taller then the FCP tower... Or is the perspective messing with me :c

[Gresto]

That's Shangri-La to the left of the 3. Shangri-La is just over 700 ft, so those guys will be somewhere over 900 ft, but well below supertall stature.

I love the idea of this one. Would be welcome in my eyes to Toronto.

[caltrane74]

Looks good, Toronto is finally moving up in the world.
