Toronto Star does an article on 1 Yonge Project: 6 Towers: 75 floors to 88 floors.

In fact it's 70 Floors to 88 Floors and one office tower 40 floors.

No supertall here - HOWEVER.... the 272m does not include the roof element (mechanical) so this could still be over 300m.

The tallest of the buildings will be 88 stories (272m).

Buildings range from 35 stories (136m) to 88 stories (272m).

Site is compromised of 5 mixed-used buildings and 1 office building.

Updated the title.

Good luck to Pinnacle getting this thing approved...

Interesting layout, I like the pedestrian scale extention of Harbour towards Freeland. The towers, I wish one of them could have at least hit 300 meters. Still though, I'll look forward to seeing some more detailed renderings of the towers themselves.

Thanks for the update, cruzin. Epic development.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH now the developers are just dicking with me ;c; Give me a supertall.

Nice to see the update, but am too disappointed in that at least one tower isn't breaking the 300m mark. I know there's still time yet, we can but hope.

That is one seriously big roof element, so there is still a chance it breaks 300 meters.

I would like to see a clearer look at the numbers on the posting. If you're down that way Cal can you snap one please? Cheers.

Redonculous that, once again, an 88-storey building here in TO doesn't break 300 m or (roughly) 1000 ft. Granted, it's a rather arbitrary benchmark, but this is again indicative of the Toronto Cheapening™.

:yeahthat: So damn annoying. We have the most buildings in development in the world? All of them won't even reach 1000ft. Bummer. Time for something taller than FCP!:hell:

So true!

The new 1 Yonge needs big buildings built to human scale

I took a very close look at the elevation drawing and it appears the roof element is approximately 23 metres high, making the total height 295 metres. :( It's close, but it'll be a stretch to break 1000 feet.

Thanks for the info Koops. Painfully frustrating that it's so close to that magic figure. Still a fantastic height that will look great, and add in a nice way to Toronto.

Oh no, it's York Quay Neighbourhood Association yapping again!!!! These are the folks that are ultimately going to get their way in the end and have this proposal chopped down.

Ulla Colgrass is "“very concerned” about the congestion that could result from the addition of thousands of people at One Yonge"

“We want shops and restaurants facing the streets, libraries, schools, hospitals,” she said. “Not everything has to be on a huge scale. We want spaces for outdoor markets and art shows.”

There she is - I think it's time she moved if she's so concerned about all the development in her "neighbourhood".

"As the One Yonge application starts winding its way through the city’s bureaucracy, and public meetings get underway, we can expect to hear plenty from Ms. Colgrass and her colleagues in YQNA."

Yay for us, YQNA!!!!!!

Oh man, I feel really sad for that little kid in the last photo.

"We want space for outdoor markets and art shows." >GOOGLE TRANSLATE> "We don't want anyone to build anything that would block our view."

Exactly!!

It's like the Hilter Youth, but for old losers...
