    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    It's hard to believe anyone could be that stupid. The crane operator could or would loose his job had numb nuts be allowed to continue his insane ride in the sky. Like any other job site, it's not really a matter of hierarchy, but of responsibility and common sense. Each worker is part of a...

    Terrific pics, are we in Toronto anymore? The city I grew up in (since 1968) is buried in tons of glass and steel, still amazes me, I remember the rail yards that stool there, blackened by soot and pollution, the new towers look much nicer, just wish hey had a little more style to them.

    Toronto Toronto | L-Tower | 204.82m | 58s | Cityzen | Daniel Libeskind

    Terrific shots guys, is it me, or does it looks a lot taller then it really is? They chose THE perfect location for it, it perfectly isolates it just enough to stand out from the crowd, so to speak, yet remain the newest addition to our ever expanding skyline. The last few pics show us what the...

    Oh man, just looking at that 2 storey PH makes me drool! Damn cancer! It's gone, but thanks to it, so are my savings! So much for my home in the sky, can you imagine the views living in that unit?

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Agreed, why do you think we don't need condos over 50 floors? Ever heard of, oh, say, One Bloor, Aura, Collage Park, the L Tower, the Four Seasons Residences, Shangi La, or the Trump Tower? Sorry to say, but your thinking is archaic, and with the limited amount of available land, developers have...

    What a strange thing to post outside a construction site, but they should have finished with "but unlike Joan, we'll look fabulous after we're done!"

    Supertall and near-Supertall Rumour/Speculation Thread

    Errrr....yeah, they will NEVER build anything tall on that lot. I lived on Chestnut street for 10 years, many developers tried to build, but city council will never approve anything over 10 stories there, same reason many proposals have been rejected, it would shadow Nathan Philips Square. I...

    I'm so excited, think I'll pop open a bottle of bubbly and toast to their success! Lol!

    Thanks for the link, can't wait to see the finished product, but does anyone know if Temperance Street will become pedestrian only like in the picture? I think it would be a terrific idea, so many cities have streets just for pedestrians, it would be a great idea.

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Simply amazing! Didn't they just do the big pour like yesterday? Unbelievable! I've never seen a project of this size go up so fast! It's not even June and they've almost reached street level, remember most of us were guessing that wouldn't happen until August at the earliest, man, they're on fire!

    Toronto Toronto | Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    Agreed, but definately not surprised, if only they'd leave politics out of it, but city council use logic, and not politics? Never! (I know that sounds horribly pessimistic, but from my friends on the inside, the vote was based more on getting Rob Ford angry, then having our cities best...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    Good point renvel, I was just about to mention that. Didn't the Oxford developers state that the project would only go forward if the casino was approved? Such a shame, it would have been an awesome project, and a much needed addition to the MTCC, which is just too small to attract the big...

    Toronto Toronto | 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Looking at the rendering, for once, I actually like it, but as we all know, the chances of my hair growing back (not on my back!) is greater then this tower actually being built to the exact specifications of the original rendering! I dread to think what city council will do to this proposal...

    Great pics, and simply amazing, only one floor to ground level!

    Toronto Toronto | 300 Front Street West | 156.05m | 49s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    Is it my over active imagination, or do the exterior colours seem to change depending on the angle or weather conditions? Never saw a chameleon tower before, either that, or all the chemo (which was a great success!) has finally got to me! :rolleyes:

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Terrific pics, thanks! I can't believe how fast they're building, they'll be at street level in no time!

    Toronto Toronto | 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Ahhh perfect, just what we need in our discombobulated assortment of sparatically built towers, the Legion of Doom headquarters! Lol! (Rolling eyes!). For the love of god, please, I beg them, design a tower with some flare, make it a super tall, and don't screw with the proposal until we're left...

    Toronto Toronto | Sun Life Financial Tower & Harbour Plaza Residences | 236.51m | 67s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

    Just wait until they start work on 10 York, directly across from One York, that's going to be one massive construction zone, and when complete, a very tall intersection!

    Toronto Toronto | Bay Adelaide Centre | 217.92m | 51s | Brookfield | KPMB

    Thanks for those awesome pics, it's the first time we can see the original foundation built for the failed Bay/Adelaide tower from the 1990's. does anyone know if they'll be destroying the old foundation, or were thy able to build on it?
