Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.

btw - that makes Cal's "guess" of 20 metres actually closer than losername's "guess" of 40 metres, although neither was particularly accurate!
I read bay Adelaide east so it would be 40metres. Didn't think he was talking about the west tower, since most comparisons were made to the east tower.
One Bloor is really showing in the skyline. I was driving south on Airport Rd near Caledon as you come down the escarpment and I could easily see it in the skyline due to it's height (this is over 50KM away). I can't even imagine how much The One will pop out if it ends up being built in it's proposed height, over 300ft taller then One Bloor E.
With all of this going on, why is the GTAs per capita GDP so relatively small?
It doesn't mean much to Toronto's real estate. Relative to what? Inflated resource markets? GDP is the economic indicator but, it's best served comparing year over year than different markets.
Because 1%'ers in Toronto are richer, relative to everyone else.
Before "The One" did anyone know about Sam Mizrahi and his financial backers? hmmmm.....
Anyways there are tonnes of them in construction, the Del Gattos, the Menekes, the Muzzos, the Soberas, etc, etc.
Possibly my favourite Blue Jay of time. Missing the Libfelds. Last I saw, they were the richest development family in Canada. Some are just hired guns unable to afford to build their own projects.

Relative to places like Chicago, NY, and the Twin Cities, for example.

Canada's GDP was 1.8 trillion last year, the GTA represented about 20% of that. Winnipeg's GDP is about 1/10 of Toronto's. And the Twin Cities GDP last year was about $100 billion less the Toronto's. It makes sense that Chicago's would be higher though as it's part of a much larger market place then Toronto.

I'm not sure what the poin of bringing Winnipeg into this was. I wasn't attacking Toronto, I simply posed a question. I would have expected the per capita GDP number for Toronto to be higher, as there's a lot going on there.

Soon, Telus Sky will join this group right in the gap between Brookfield and Suncor.
