I think a tower or two will be cancelled from one yonge.

That's highly likely.

I hope if they cancel a few towers, the main tower gets an increase.

It'll be similar to Bay Adelaide East - concrete core with steel skeleton

Quote:
The two towers will contain reinforced concrete cores with structural steel floor framing and exterior columns. The below-grade structure consists of reinforced concrete columns, slab and wall construction. Crews will demolish sections of underground parking nearby to accommodate the East Tower’s footprint and five-storey basement, a hole that will take five months to excavate. Developing back up to grade will take six to seven months.

Yes Brookfield will be steel frame, concrete core.

I mean 1 of the 4 will likely move forward.

Not all at the same time.
4? When was it scaled back? If I recall correctly, there were 7 towers in the plan, including the vertical extension of the Star building.

Ah, gotcha. And, my mistake, it's 6 buildings. An overview at UT lists a completion date of 2017, which is extremely ambitious, if not impossible.

2017 is impossible. Even if they started construction right now a 90 floor building would need at least 4 years to complete. It will likely break ground in 2016/ or 2017. And be completed in 2020/2021.

True. To be fair I was only looking at completed buildings. And hopefully it won't be many more years until a few more towers knock Trump further down the orde of height in Toronto.

2022 will be an awesome year. to see all those towers go up will be cool. Toronto will have so much density and some supertall might be undercon....... or proposed that will be cool. time will change it all.
