I think this height increase will be green-lit because it doesn't face any of the usual challenges that happen in the built up core... shadows on parks/schools, same wind conditions etc.

And the entire eastern waterfront along Queens Quay from Yonge to the east is under construction afterall so if Menkes complains about 10 more storeys here impacting their 299 metre and 290 metre towers (in site-prep and demo phase) right next door to Pinnacle One Yonge... I think they'd be laughed out of the room .

Hey, maybe Menkes will pitch their 299 metre tower at a taller height too (299 metres is of course a wannabe super-tall annoyance to 'scraper geeks like moi ;-).


Perhaps a more interesting question is: how will Sam Mizrahi respond to this if he gets his height increase for The One @ 338.3 metres at long last... only to fall short again!

Bet he's shopping for a spire as I write this .

Couple of renderings I’ve haven’t noticed before from HPA, including a view to the west of the office/hotel component and the residential podiums (3 towers). Also some interior atrium shots that look more recent.

SkyTower will rise just left of Phase 1 (right of centre in the photo). The gap between One Yonge and the 2 towers of Sugar Wharf Phase 1 (right of centre) will be filled one day by the 3 towers of Sugar Wharf Phase 2
(now in demolition-retention/site prep @ 299 metres).

Left of the CN Tower is the proposed taller SkyTower at 105 storeys (now U/C @ 95 storeys).

SUPERTALLS in TORONTO: in a few years the city could home to 4 or more under construction supertalls.

Steveve’s compilation of under construction and proposed supertalls for Toronto which includes requests for additional height for The One and Pinnacle’s SkyTower (344.58 metres) (both of which are u/c as supertalls at lower approved supertall heights).

Two more projects are just shy of 300 metres @ 299 metres including Sugar Wharf Phase 2 already in the site prep and demolition phase.

Note that the shorter of Frank Gehry’s “FORMA” towers (seen greyed out in the diagram) sold quickly and has already begun site prep and demolition. This bodes well for FORMA’s supertall to move into construction as well in the near future.


Pinnacle One Yonge’s Phase 3 @ 305 metres is also very likely to get built given the success of Phase 1 and Sky Tower (Phase 2). There’s also an on-going debate about whether Concord Sky (officially u/c @ 299 metres) belongs on
the supertall under construction list since one its elevations cracks the 300 metre mark.


*There’s other supertall proposals (not pictured) deemed unlikely to move forward (no rezoning approval) such as 1200 Bay (324 metres).


steveve

SkyTower will rise in the gap left of centre beside the much shorter Phase 1 (nearing completion).

SkyTower podium work is on the right. The large (white) blank wall of the Phase 1 podium is where the Phase 3 tower and podium @ 306 metres-92 storeys (located in the foreground) will connect to the development.

The large brick warehouse in the centre of the photo is the site of Sugar Wharf Phase 2’s on-going demolition and heritage rentention work, which will eventually see 3 towers rise from the retained facades, the tallest tower @ 299 metres.

Busy SkyTower site.

Looks like residents may be starting to occupy the 65 storey Phase 1 tower.

I walked around for a bit. A guy in a yellow coat asked me to leave. On the way back to my car. A truck blocked me in and when I got back to leave. He seemed pissed.

Man, that podium rooftop on Phase 1 looks just sad. There's no more landscaping than that left?

Might be just temporary until the future Phase 3 podium mates with Phase 1... perhaps birthing something a bit more ambitious(?).

Could be a putting green. I think that's a decent use of space. The Harbour is a better landscaped backyard.
