New proposal from Oxford rumoured to be in the 800ft range.

Some early renderings have now been made available online. It would seem the early version is now suggesting 45 floors. Although that obviously is subject to change as it has not yet been submitted for planning approval.

The rumor is that it'll be a very different looking tower... not only from the early renders, but from a "normal" Toronto tower too.

DrNest · #6 Posted **Feb 16, 2018, 10:35 PM**

Now I'm really intrigued. If that's the case, I'm hoping for something along the impact and change Scotia Plaza brought to the skyline.

Gresto · #7 Posted **Feb 16, 2018, 11:39 PM**

I sure hope it's something else.

Wow....good to see some movement here...though I'm wondering how the proposal will respect the Harbour Commissions building. I'd think they'd leave the building on site....but it'll be interesting how they'd allow the office tower to interact with this heritage structure.

DrNest · #10 Posted **Feb 25, 2018, 2:25 PM**

I've been wondering around the heritage building too. Will they build around it? Cantilever over it or some other design. Either way, I feel it's an important building to preserve.

Innsertnamehere · #11 Posted **Feb 25, 2018, 4:21 PM**

it's a large enough site that they can easily build around it. Now that the rezoning application has been filed we should see renders in the next few days and know for sure.

DrNest · #12 Posted **Feb 26, 2018, 9:21 PM**

Some more renderings available.
Looks like this is designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
Personally I would prefer a much darker glass, but overall I like the vibe of this one.

Supertall ?

Gresto · #14 Posted **Feb 26, 2018, 11:29 PM**

Will possibly squeak into supertall status. We don't have numbers yet.

This sure is a darned sight more appealing than the first render. A bit fat for the height, but other that I like it.

According to UT the Hub will be 280.7 metres tall.

DrNest · #17 Posted **Feb 27, 2018, 8:59 PM**

That's quite some height. On a par with ScotiaPlaza. So no doubt will have a significant impact on the skyline, not just from the lake, but from the East and West too.

TallBob · #18 Posted **Feb 27, 2018, 9:44 PM**

281 meters...920' +-....not bad.

The Hub at 281 metres:

Great to hear this news. It'll be interesting how landscaping will work with that kind of podium. Heck, It'll be a hell of a sight to see a hole being excavated as the Harbour Commissions building is right on the edge.....this has been a surface lot for many years.
