5 h. ago Toronto landmark to be redeveloped with huge towers as tall as 96 floors

A developer that claimed it would not add towers to a beloved Toronto landmark has revealed plans to add three enormous skyscrapers to the very site it previously denied was in play.Great-West Life Realty Advisors (GWLA) — the Toronto-based asset management arm of Canada Life's parent company, have revealed an ambitious plan to construct towers as tall as 96 storeys sprouting from the venerable College Park complex at Yonge and College streets.The plan calls for a trio of Hariri Pontarini Architects-designed towers with heights of 65, 75, and 96 storeys.
