TORONTO | Highrise Developments Compilation Thread

[Altoic]

I've always thought of Mississauga as Fort Lauderdale and Toronto as Miami. It's the only way to think about it in my mind! On another note Toronto will definitely surpass Chicago this decade or next decade... which will warrant some unique responses.

Love those Toronto proposals!. Simple but elegant and thank God they are not just blue/green glass adding some needed colour to the area.

[MolsonExport]

2nd that. Those look like great proposals.

Proposals are always a little tricky to judge. In Toronto proper a fairly high ratio of them get built but certainly not all, and there are different dynamics in suburban markets. But yeah we'll see how things go. It sure would be interesting if there actually were two top 10 municipalities in a single metro area.

I think Mississauga will get a supertall soon enough, to go along with all the other tall proposals. It already has a nice skyline, and soon it will be even more impressive.

[WhipperSnapper]

I don't see a hundred storey tower being built in Mississauga. Anything can be proposed. The problem for Mississauga City Centre is the as right zoning not requiring zoning amendments. Built and under construction skyscrapers with google earth measured or estimated heights is the difference between CTBUH and SSP.

Mississauga may have also peaked on the skyscraper front. Vaughan City Centre is a better investment location as it looks like the market will remain GTA developments competing for the finite number of buyers indefinitely.

Altoic said he thinks of Toronto-Mississauga like Miami-Ft Lauderdale.

But I think New York-Jersey City comparison makes more sense which happens to also be high up the list at 17. Jersey City development very much a byproduct of extreme New York prices.

I guess what is interesting to me is the point that 98% of Americans have probably never heard of Mississauga and it will be rocketing by a number of major US cities in short order.

A great aerial of 110 Eglinton.

If and when this is built, and if and when (lol) the 2180 Yonge development is built, along with 7 or 8 other talls in the pipeline (up to 212 metres)…. one might argue that Yonge and Eglinton nabe on its own…
will have a more impressive skyline than many North American cities.


2180 Yonge @ 65, 65, 60, 55 and 45 storeys.

It never stops in this city.
I was just viewing a post: "Is Dallas' core infill being overlooked?" and i was thinking to myself if they only knew what is going on up here.

Jersey City is right across from Manhattan. Mississauga isn't like that at all... Square One doesn't have any rail connection to downtown Toronto. The busiest transit corridor in Mississauga runs parallel to the Toronto boundary and doesn't come near any Toronto bus route or subway station. The closest that Hurontario gets to the Toronto boundary is 5km. Hurontario Street is like Yonge Street, it runs to/from the lake, and it intersects with Dundas, Eglinton, Steeles like Yonge Street does... Mississauga's skyline runs perpendicular to the lake just like Toronto's.

I found this extremely informative

Details the 25 Urban Centres in GTA and their growth plans

https://www.gta-homes.com/urban-growth-centres/

Gotta expand to the very end for Vaughan

[koops65]

Here is the Vaughan diagram: https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=105077332

There are 91 skyscrapers on the list.

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Growth Plan is for a 0.5km x 1.5km strip of land located in the middle of an industrial area and it is surrounded by freeways and a giant rail yard. Don't expect too much to come out of it.

[WhipperSnapper]

It's not 2020. Vaughan has surpassed the don't expect much to come of it as far as skyscrapers are concerned which is the topic at hand. It has 9 skyscrapers built and under construction. It doesn't matter if it's a shithole today or an oasis surrounded by a shithole. It is 3 subway stops from the second largest university campus in the GTA.

Location. Location. Location.

One transit station is nothing special, especially in a place hemmed in at all sides by highways and a rail yard. It's not like the rest of 905 won't have higher order transit. Markham Centre with all-day GO Train service will be very similar to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, but much less isolated. And of course Mississauga is getting a dozen LRT stations next year.

3 stops away from university campus? Again nothing special. Actually having a university campus would be more interesting. That would make it a destination.

I actually find that big power centre to the west right across the 400 more interesting. An existing major retail commercial area is something they can build upon, a place that is already a major destination by itself, rather than a way to get to Toronto. And it would be part of or an extension of an existing neighbourhood rather than an "oasis".

[WhipperSnapper]

I'm talking about York University and not about a higher order transit connection.

Can't agree with you there that a university campus is nothing special. All those condos at Yonge and Finch were pretty much dormitories for York University when I was in them last because there's nothing by York University. The major properties are tank farms.

Vaughan City Centre is also a major regional retail cluster like Square One.
