Nothing. It's just nobody has ever decided to build one. The city has approved 2 supertalls over the years, and came close to approving a third. It's just that the developers always back out.. Or they don't propose one at all. You must remember that until 2009, toronto only had 6 buildings over 200m. I consider this boom to be a maturing for Toronto, with the
Skyline jumping from 100m with a 298m peak, to 180-200m with a 298m peak and a couple of standouts in between. This building, at 277m will be over 100m taller than the tallest building in this area before the boom. That little brown building in the rendering used to be one of the tallest buildings in the area.. Now we will be going from 2 140m buildings and a 150m building at yonge and bloor to 204m, 238m, 250m, and 277m.. We will get that supertall, but maybe not quite yet. And what can I say? Third times the charm!
