TORONTO | 80 Bloor St. West | 263.4 metres | 79 floors

]NOTE TO MODS: The THREAD TITLE should read TORONTO | 80 Bloor Street West | 260M | 78 FLOORS. Sorry for the error.


80 Bloor Street West - 260m + 240m(? -estimated) - 78s + 76s - Krugarand - designed by Giannone Petricone - approved* (*to be reconfirmed)

An odd way to learn about “approval” of a major downtown development: This proposal was opposed by the City and headed to an LPAT (formerly the OMB) hearing.
Late last week news leaked in a neighbourhood association newsletter, that “City Council approved the developer’s application" more than 2 months ago.

No final renders (see elevations below) have been released but the approved submission contained some highlights:
- the taller west tower features a pattern of glass that reads as a "patchwork", breaking up the scale of the tower.
- the easterly tower is clad in clear glass curtain-wall, articulated by deep horizontal sills at all floor slabs.
- the podium would be clad with an undulating pleated glass curtain-wall wrapping the edges of the public park.
- expansion of the Yorkville Village Park

Aerial: the soaring block between Yonge and Bay Streets, with the 2 towers of 80 Bloor West (right side of render) practically “glued” to 1200 Bay (324m - 87s). The 3 towers equal a total of 241 floors proposed on a relatively small footprint.

New Renderings. This is 820ft if that wants to be added to the title as well. Over 1,700 units here so this thing will be super dense.
