The submission documents for 1200 Bay Street -- [the supertall being designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Quadrangle Architects](https://brandondonnelly.com/2020/06/04/a-new-supertall-by-herzog-de-meuron/) -- are now publicly available through the City of Toronto's development applications website. I went through the plans today out of curiosity. Below are the typical residential floors. The three tranches shown here are floors 19-46, 48-79, and 81-84. Note the side elevator core and the east-west shear walls -- both of which I was expecting to see.

And here are some of the main project stats:

*   Total gross floor area (residential & non-residential): 54, 898 square meters
    
*   Floor space index: 61.67
    
*   Building height (excluding mechanical penthouse): 324 meters
    
*   Number of residential suites: 332
    
*   Vehicular parking spaces proposed: 0
    
*   Bicycle parking spaces proposed: 673
    

As a rule and out of professional courtesy, I do not comment on other people's projects on this blog (other than to occasionally point out awesome and ambitious projects). But I do enjoy going through drawing sets to see what others are doing and to see what I might learn. And I am similarly happy to collaborate with others who may want to learn from what we are doing.
