OK. Your links are working now!

ah yes, the perils of linking UT hosted images.. (they work fine for me)

Um, I can't get the links to work. Is it because I'm not a member of UT?
Any chance of posting the images for all to see please? Thank.

should be fixed.

No doubt there will be naysayers, but I like these designs based on the relatively rudimentary sketch posted above.

Crazy, crazy, crazy, if all of these recent gargantuan proposals see the light of day!

8 of the 10 tallest in the city proposed in the last 9 months...

Yup, working for me now. Thank you

I really like the look of the tallest two towers based on the above images.
I'm not so sure on the shorter two's slants, but I will admit that it's something that could grow on me

koops must be screaming to himself about all these drawings he has to do.. 5 new towers now!

I've made the 2 tallest, but those twin 215 metre towers with the crazy angles look daunting to say the least... give me some time on them.

I actually love them, if they are in fact offset as shown. The taller two are less adventurous, but I find them very pleasing as well.
Where have you found heights on any of these? Do tell.:yes: 215 m. is a bit disappointing.

It looks like a white cactus :D I like it though

The 70 Floor Menkes Towers were 239 meters, and the 67 floor ICE Tower is 235 meters, what gives here?

With an illustrators account you can click on the "Upload a drawing" link on the building page, and it will tell you the estimated height.

Whoever entered the One Yonge development into the database put in the estimated heights. I definitely suspect the numbers are low, at or near the minimum possible heights for these towers. I mean, the tallest, 98 floors, doesnt even break 300 metres (298M), and the 92 floor tower has an estimated height of 280 metres. But they are just estimates, and we will have to wait for Pinnacle to release the true heights.

the office tower in the image should be between 170-180m if you are comparing it to 1 york, which is just 1 floor shorter than this proposal. I think it is safe to say the 70 floor proposals are just 215m tall.

I don't think its safe to say a 70 Floor tower is 215 meters.

L Tower is 58 Floors and is 205 meters.

70 Floors is bare minimum 225 meters.

Aura is 78 Floors and 273 meters, but here 92 Floors is 280?

Gimme a Break!

my official guesstimates based off of a 180m office tower, and counting floors presuming them to be 3m tall:

I see. Maybe I'm talking out of my ass here, but it seems a peculiarly Torontonian phenomenon for there to be a bevy of 90+ storey proposals afoot (Mirvish trio, Oxford duo, 1 Yonge duo), and only a couple of them barely crack 300m or 1000ft. It must be the notorious Toronto Cheapening® in action yet again.
Not to revive a tired city comparison again, but anything 98 storeys in Manhattan isn't going to be tolerated at under, say, 1100ft, minimum.

because anything built in manhatten that tall will be a superluxury building similar to the four seasons or shangri-la. (you would be looking at 384m if built to the four seasons floorplate size)

Is the taller one primarily residential? Office buildings tend to be taller than residential ones with the same number of floors?

Soooooooooo close to breaking that 100 floor mark.:irked:

Aura is residential....

Another supertall proposal?

Is now waiting for the latest photoshopped skyline.

I tried and failed miserably.

Waiting for a pro to take over.

Good times for Toronto :D

Might I also point out that the tallest of the proposals isnt a simple circular tower but more like a Reuleaux triangle shape. It is a small detail and a preliminary drawing but wow am I impressed. Toronto may be finally breaking out of that substandard phase of its.... Or am I saying that too soon? :P

The city has also had a good track record of not having cancellations for these major projects that appear in a plentiful fashion.

And most of those high profile projects that do get cancelled just end up getting built by someone else with a different design. Which has been the consistency taking place since the turn of the century.

Um... all this is great but where is the little information we have coming from ?

I mean , who is proposing this , what's the timeline , what kind of buildings are these , etc. ?

All I see are a couple drawings and nothing else. Kind of tough to take this seriously when that's all there is to go on.

Developer: Pinnacle International
Architect: Hariri Pontarini

tallest 4 towers are residential, shorter 2 are office.

apparently these images were leaked before the developer wanted them to be released, so somebody is about to get fired. (that is probably also why we know so little about it)

I made drawings for the 2 tallest:

I've finally finished the drawings of One Yonge towers 3 & 4:

Toronto diagram: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=12
Despite being over 700 feet tall, they are on the second page...

^ Wow I was sure those two would have made it on to the first page. Just goes to show how far these proposals are pushing Toronto.

I made a diagram of the office tower: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=56267
Toronto diagram: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=12 on page 3.

It puts things into perspective when one realizes that only 6 of the top 25 in that Toronto diagram currently exist.

According to UrbanToronto, the plans have changed.

1 Yonge will consist of 6 buildings (not 5 buildings) with the tallest at 88 stories (no longer 98 stories).

The Toronto Star building would see additional floors added, while a new 40 storey office building would be built on site. A new 70 storey tower with hotel component has been added as the 6th building.

The remainder of the towers heights are as follows: 75, 80, 80, and 88 storeys.

So we have 88s, 2x80s, 75s, 70s and 40s.

I don't like the way they seem to want to add on to the Toronto Star building. the Toronto star building should be restored without the office addition, maybe add 5 floors to the other office building to compensate. Similarly, I don't like how there are 6 buildings here, there shouldn't really be more than 4. Again, take the density off of those 2 now eliminated towers and add it to the others. I'd actually PREFER height, even this close to the midrise bayfront area.

Sad about the downgraded height, good news about the additional towers.

US Economy and Canadian Economy appear to be headed into overdrive.... I see another condo boom on the horizon.

The economies may be improving, but they are very far from going into overdrive.... you will see a significant increase in the rate of inflation when that happens.

Agree, they need to leave that building alone. It pulls the whole area together and the only building with any degree of solidity to it.

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™.
