Kinda stylish up close (in a dual personality kinda way).

Those terracotta-coloured balcony guards are a direct steal from 3XN’s gorgeous Aqualuna (see below).

Too bad they don't have a rendering of what this building would look like as the view terminus looking east down Richmond from here.

That would be the most visible angle for this building.

Bumping this, because I think it's significant.

Lots of malls that could "benefit" from such a development. Despite those that have already taken such a plunge.

Love both of those last 2 Rental Tower projects. I think this is where we could see the bulk of proposals going forward for at least a few years now.

[Maldive]

20 development applications were adopted by Toronto City Council this month, advancing zoning permissions for projects ranging from mid-rise infill buildings to waterfront towers that add up to 11,889 new housing units for the city. The approvals would deliver more than 4,400 purpose-built rental units, of which 596 are secured affordable rental homes.

The approvals include a number of towers in the 60 to 70 storey range such as Phase 1 at Quayside along the waterfront and towers on Yonge. READ the story here:

^ fun, but that should go in a Toronto development thread for local discussion, not a national thread.

Good lord, aside from 138 Dowling almost every single one of those is awful. 530–550 Yonge and 45–47 Sheppard are okay. I see Quayside was (predictably) VE'd to oblivion lol.

The City's building department truly just seems to exist to extract some money from developers and then otherwise rubber stamp any and everything that comes their way. I'm grateful that the current state of the market at least means that many of these will never see the light of day.

This is the proposals thread; and proposals in Toronto are no less valid than any of the ones in Winnipeg or wherever else.

What Toronto content belongs in the Toronto section then?
Because that section has been a ghost town for 2 decades now.

[Nouvellecosse]

To me, the national threads should be a sort of highlights real of the most significant projects from the different local sections. So basically all developments in a given region would belong in that region's local section while the largest proposals belong in both. What the cut off should be in terms of what should be considered large enough for the national thread is trickier, but I also don't think it's all that important. If there's a little too much from a particular city for one's taste, one can always just scroll faster or check out the local section of places one is interested in.

A Toronto proposal is just as valid in this thread as one from Victoria, or Halifax... or anywhere else in the country.

[Vantage]

Toronto thinking they are the centre of the universe, as usual.

[ssiguy]

All he did was put up a Toronto proposal and this is a proposal thread. Last time I checked Toronto was in Canada. Maldive didn't list all the buildings but provided the link and if you don't want to look then don't. Toronto is our skyscraper capitol and largest city, it's natural it would be over represented.

I appreciate Maldives contribution and if you would rather see your own city better represented then feel free to put them up yourself, no one is stopping you.

Well most proposals now are for purposed built rentals so they will get built as you don't need pre-construction sales to build them.

Yeah. I don't understand the problem here. Toronto has the most proposals, hence it has the most posts in this section.

I'd rather see the proposals than not.

That's an insane amount for one month, lol. I appreciate the context or perspective, I wish we'd see more of that for all the cities across Canada. The CMHC housing start numbers is helpful as well. Anyways, yes, keep sharing, last time I looked TO was part of CA.

Just checking my own numbers for Victoria (and I don't claim to be 100% accurate or use the same definitions, although my numbers did match the last CMHC report). Currently under construction in Downtown Victoria are 3,100 units. That's using Stats Canada's generous definition of downtown at 8.1 sq km. If I use my own interpretation of downtown (5.33 sq km) the number only drops from 3,100 to 3,046.

As for proposed the total probably reflects the uncertainty of the market and financing - at 2,715 units for the smaller downtown definition.

Not sure where it stands per capita for downtowns across Canada, considering Calgary is 4 x the population, perhaps on par, ahead of the Prairie cities but likely behind Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax.
