small floorplate limits size, there isn't enough space here.

Hi, do you know what the potential size of this tower could be (or if there's some cap)? I ask because I remember reading somewhere that up to 500K sq. ft. of office space is possible for this site (might have been Brookfield's own website) but if this tower will be a typical 32 storey tower, then its size should be around 700-800K sq. ft., correct? Thanks!

Here is some info

Hmm a residential portion..

 

[Conrad Black]

So a condo as part of it?

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

That would be news to me

 

[AndreaPalladio]

Wasn't there something posted here, probably some years ago now, that the 3d tower would have a hotel and apartment component?

 

[maestro]

It was which is why it state combined area but, it's all office now.

 

[big_troy]

There is so much office space—existing, under construction, and especially proposed—on the market now, I would not be surprised if Bay Adelaide North slipped further than the end of next year. That's far enough off that they are essentially saying "we don't know, law of supply and demand says that in 20 months time there should be enough demand again for us to float another boat", but who knows which buildings will find the tenants they need to get going next.

Agreed. It's too early for construction of the 3rd phase. I'd give it at least 3-5 years before designs come thru.

 

[interchange42]

It was which is why it state combined area but, it's all office now.

Correct, and now allowed to go to 141 metres, not just 120.

I'm starting to feel I was wrong saying 3 to 5 years before we see the new design. I believe now we will see marketing start sooner rather than later.

Yeah, i believe it will be next one to break ground in this city
Here is my prediction of the next 10 hi-rise office buildings to break ground in Toronto

BAC-3 (Bay-Adelaide North) (Brookfield)
156 Front Street (Cadillac Fairview)
The Well office tower (Allied)
16 York Street (Cadillac Fairview)
Union Centre (Allied)
One Yonge Street Office Tower (Pinnacle International)
45 Bay Street (Ivanhoe Cambridge)
Oxford Place (Oxford)
60 Harbour/30 Bay (Port Authority/Oxford)
388 King street west (Allied)

 

[interchange42]

Very difficult to predict the order the buildings will come in, but I agree that…

BAC-3 has a good chance to being one of the very next. You don't have any other Brookfield sites listed, but their next one up after BAC-3 would be the next Brookfield Place tower, and I agree it's not likely to be within the next 10.

156 Front Street West would be CadFair's highest priority, so that's in the right spot ahead of 16 York.

I agree with your order for the three Allied sites, with The Well high on their priority list, and 388 King their lowest priority.

I have no idea where I would slot in the One Yonge office tower, but…

I would move 45 Bay up in the list, a fair bit in fact.

Hard to know what to place Oxford Place either, or their other property at 60 Harbour. Either of those could surprise us…

[AHK]

Regarding Allied, I suspect that 495 King West may come before 388 King. 495 King would not be as large as 388 King, and would help build the base of Allied tenants in the King-Spadina area in support of bringing the larger 388 King West to market.

 

[Edward]

Great to see this much office space potentially being built. Downtown keeps booming.

 

[Kai55]

Is it too early to guess who might be head tenant here?

 

[taal]

Is it too early to guess who might be head tenant here?

Yes, this isn't even being actively marketed yet; You'd be better to speculate at either Front St. projects.
