Been ages since I've read the actual PARTS documents. I know they were approved but did they ever actually rezone large swaths of land to promote new development with ease? Or do you think it would still be a case by case basis. If they were smart, they'd rezone before hand and make it easier.

I think the point is that OLT will frequently grant more floors than were in the original application.

If Vic and Park gets approved I expect the new submission to be a bit taller. Follow suit with the recent increases seen across the City

Won't anyone think of the traffic! :S haha
I like the vision, but I am sure we will not see a 44 storey tower built. As much development the region has seen thanks to the LRT, we have yet to see a major multi tower proposal like this next to one of the 19 LRT stops. Station park would count i guess. I am surprised that the owners of the 2 malls haven't not been more aggressive at building mixed-use masterplans in the sea of parking they own. Pretty much ever mall in toronto is building redeveloped, even if its not close to transit.

Nice they designed the towers to make their height reduction easy by just lifting off the top blocks.

I'll be shocked if this even gets approved given how anti-progress so many of our council members, residents of the city and local media are. Downtown it would be easier, but this is a low density neighbourhood. There's no reason it should not be approved but even so, NIMBYs regularly get in the way of things in this region.
