steveve added a massing of the 310m 212 King West proposal (orange) to a slice of his future render.

A note on the simple massing: since the material details for this one (including terracotta) will likely be SHoP 'exquisite', I think the simple massing is fine... allowing Mirvish+Gehry nearby to do the architectural gymnastics for the block.

This proposal brings a total of 9 super-talls* for Toronto (2 under construction). The proponent here, DREAM Reit, is also involved in the long awaited Mirvish+Gehry project (resubmitted as 2 super-talls) which is just a block west and is alive and well and finally going into sales in 2021 (confirmed by DREAM).

Mirvish+ Gehry revised at 329 metres and 302 metres

UT

*Super-talls proposed:
212 King Street West - 310m
CommerceCourt3 - 302m roof/376.5m spire
Union Park - 303m
Mirvish+Gehry - 329m and 302m
1200 Bay Street - 326.5m
The Hub (albeit a cheat courtesy of the CTBUH criteria;-) - 304m spire

*Super-talls construction:
SkyTower - 312.5m
The One - 309m

*Near misses:
Sugar Wharf B @ 299m, YSL @ 299m and poor BMO still @ 298m (for more than 40 years ;-)
