I guess there’s just the 70s proposals of exchange south, of the petro Canada station, of the medical clinic area of rathburn and hurontario. That’s three off hand. I’d expect one of those to eclipse this building.

Petro Canada station was to be 70 and been shot down by the GTTA as well MTO. The BDC site is supposed to be 70 and 67 and being shot down as too tall. The exchange south will not be tall as the current site. None of OMER sites are over 70 at this time and may change over the coming decades considering there isn't a fully development plan public at this time. You got the development on the YMCA lands and it been pushed down the road at this time.

Most buildings plan for Hurontario are around 40-50 with a lot of potential development to come in the coming decades.

The Eglinton Hurontario area is mainly 30-50 that well take a few decades to build them in phases. Other than the OMER lands, cannot see anything being built taller than M3 at this time, and time will tell if it will happen.

Well the good news is it is significantly quicker building these shorter buildings. I hope they rework that ymca site because the elevator to suite ratio was insane.

I do wish that the city would make condo size minimums as well. For instance a one bedroom 600 sq ft two bedroom 800 sq ft and three bedroom 1000 sq ft. I don’t know how 1000sq ft seems too big when we used to build houses that were 2500 sq ft on massive pieces of property.
 
I might have missed this in previous pages but are any of the M towers getting retail fronting the local streets or will it just be along Burnhamthorpe?
 
Photos I took yesterday:
I can garuntee this is taller than m1 and m2, looks a good bit taller so it might be taller than ex1 too.

The tower is making itself known in the skyline and will do so more as it climbs. Another locating I have to checkout gives a better view from the east end of the city.

What floor are we currently at

This is just a visual guess, but looking at @ProjectEnd's photo from yesterday, they appear to be at level 67 or 68 right now. So about 10 more, then the mechanical penthouse.

The fact that the white balconies here repeat every three floors definitely makes counting them easier.
 
This is 260 metres tall. Its about the same height as M1/2 which was, if I recall, around 200m. Should equate to approximately 18 more floors if they were all 10 ft in height, including mech.

I shot it today and the top of the elevator is floor 60. I get 67 or 68 depending on the number of floors behind the protection. I counted 65 from the north before the protection in my photo.

Looking north on Hurontario from Hillcrest, M3 is the same level as M1 & M2

A ton of shots up on my site for today shoot from various locations

I'm not sure this development will age well. I think the designers were trying too hard on the shapes. Having said that, M3 is ending up looking slightly better than I anticipated.

70 stories is more of a flex than anything. This area will be plenty dense and impressive even if it fills out with 'only' 50-60 floor towers.

If other people are building 100 floors… then 70 is not a flex. You might convince me 80 is. But I do agree with your sentiment that the area will be dense enough.
