Why do we need a supertall?
Why do we need a supertall?
Yeah, also 22 million dollars seems pretty high to purchase a property that they would have no intention to develop..this is going to happen and will be tall, they're just sitting back with this one and playing the wait and see game.
..future home of College Park 4?
god i hope not.
besides, the actual borders of CP are Yonge/College/Bay/Gerrard.
to go beyond that is like saying Yorkville extends beyond Bay/bloor/Yonge/Davenport.
oh wait, realtors and developers are doing that already
Maybe wait and see what type of proposals come in for the buildings in the area (I'm thinking specifically 501 Yonge). It's a lot easier to push for a few extra floors when there's already some pretty tall buildings in the area. If they want to build something along the lines of Aura north of College, I would they're going to need a few ~50s in the immediate area to set a precedent for height. That way they're only asking for 15-20 over what is established, not 40-50 like it currently is.

501 yonge proposal is already in at 58x2....or did u mean wait and see where they end up? i wonder how they come up with a number like 58....soudns crazy to me. but if they get anything close then good for this canderal site for sure.
I suspect that 501 Yonge will be knocked down a couple floors. .
I disagree, i actually think that the city will be much happier with a 10 storey increase on one of the towers and a decrease of 15 floors on the other..overall nowadays we have to look at the big picture on Yonge with One Bloor up the street at 70 floors.
