Our panel at the Buildings Show on Supertalls happened this morning, and I have to say that the presentation by Earl Mark (and some of his colleagues at Core Architects) on this building was just great, quite fascinating, with lots of details that even the nerdiest of UrbanToronto types would be impressed and maybe even surpirsed by... good enough that we are hoping to bring the live show to one of our online webinars in 2025 so that you all have the opportunity of seeing it!

Seminars and presentations? Was there not an opportunity to ask whether this thing is rising to 85 or 91? Someone must know!

We'll let you know, likely early in 2025, when it will happen. Stay tuned!

I really enjoyed the whole event but Earl Mark’s presentation was captivating. I could have listened to him all day. I like how he discussed how the building was designed around the main floor retail from day one. I can’t imagine anyone else in that space after all that work.

The Receiver is working towards 85 storeys. If they were to announce a sale to a new owner, the new owner could choose to go higher as the building is designed to handle more, and 91 is permitted by the City.

While those are the facts, I can also speculate: who would buy this and take on all that debt?!?!?!? I do not believe that KEB Hana will end up, therefore, with someone buying it from them... ...but they will likely end up with a development partner to take over seeing the building completed and sold.

I know that they have talked with at least three developers, and while there's one name floating around the aether as most likely partner, I can't leave their name here given my job, and I am waiting like you and everyone else to find out who the development partner will ultimately be.

Finally, I don't know what a "drop dead date" might be re: an announcement that could potentially have this continue to 91 storeys... but it's not going to that height UNLESS there's a new development parter says "yeah, we want to get this to 91."

Ack, I wish you'd introduced yourself after the event! Were you one of those who asked a question? Anyway, yes, Earl's presentation was excellent (hence why we're going to try to redo it online in 2025!)
