Y'all need to stop getting your hopes up about Toronto development proposals. I'm not disappointed because this is what I was expecting all along.

Cool drawing. Now show us what you're actually going to build.

But 1200 Bay is not approved so that number doesn't mean much. And surely this proposal will never get approved at 51.6 either. They'll have to acquire an adjacent property or reduce the height significantly.

I'm confused, I thought the zoning application had been refused?

62 stories seems like a bit of a stretch for this location, isn't it? I think they'll have to chop a few stories to get it approved.

The approved height is 308m, and that's what will be used when evaluating this proposal. But either way, just take a look at steveve's diagram - this building makes a very conspicuous breach in the clothesline. Just like they said 260m at Bay & Bloor was "too tall" because it doesn't adequately...

I'd be willing to bet the City will consider this "too tall" because it doesn't step down from the height peak at Bloor.

Looking forward to watching this peek into my view.

I also like the tower itself but the way it's stuck on top of the existing building looks pretty ridiculous. I agree with @UtakataNoAnnex this seems unlikely to be a serious proposal.

My understanding is that Oxford is not saying the building will be completed by 2025; they're saying that IF they found a tenant then it could be ready by 2025. I seem to recall them previously saying that it would be ready in 2023, then they said 2024... By next year if they still don't have...

The general sentiment was very much the opposite. A lot of people (especially Mike Layton) seemed angry that Mizrahi had originally proposed around 338m several years ago, but after negotiations with the City they reached an agreement of 307m. The case was supposed to be closed, but now suddenly...

I attended the consultation so I can confirm that councilor Layton is pretty strongly opposed to the height increase, as are several members of residents associations. Their only real argument seems to be the shadows on Jesse Ketchum, plus the usual NIMBY rhetoric like traffic congestion...

Sadly it's mostly the NIMBYs that bother to attend these events. More people like us on these forums should attend and speak out in favour of the developments to counter the NIMBYs.
