Two enormously tall condo towers could soon transform the Toronto skyline

Condo madness isreshaping Toronto's skyline faster than ever, and two more towers have entered the development pipeline that would become staples in the tourist-favourite view north across Nathan Phillips Square.

A parking garage at200 Dundas Street Westand a high-rise office building at 123 Edward Street could soon be replaced by a pair of soaring 72-storey condominium towers in anew development proposaltabled byCrown Realty Partners.

If built today, the buildings would tie with the iconic TD Bank Tower as Toronto's 14th-tallest.

Most of the proposal's over 124,850 square metres of floor area would be dedicated to condominium units, though just over 223 square metres of commercial space is planned for the ground floor.

The proposal calls for 1,889 condominium units, planned in a mix of 87 studios, 1,116 one-bedrooms, 486 two-bedrooms, and 199 three-bedroom units.

Demolition of the shorter office tower at 123 Edward Street accommodates the northeast tower footprint as well as proposed public parkland.

A 307 square metre public park would be built at the northwest corner of the site, which would be dedicated to the city to satisfy parkland dedication requirements for new developments.

The space would feature a mix of seating and canopy trees at its east end, with paving — designed to minimize the urban heat island effect — providing a seamless transition between the park and abutting sidewalks.

The 15-storey office tower was constructed in 1964, another era that saw Toronto redefine itself through intense high-rise development.
