An eye-catching tower is among the latest in a string of recent high-rise proposals in Toronto, and this one could prove to be a new jewel for the city's waterfront if approved. In an application submitted to city planners on May 4, 2022 developer Plaza Partners is seeking approval for a 49-story residential tower at 307 Lake Shore Boulevard East, and renderings of the BDP Quadrangle-designed development are promising to say the least.

The site is home to the former local headquarters and community hub of Google-affiliated tech company Sidewalk Labs for its neighborhood of the future.

Details are still sparse, as most of the documents supporting the application are inaccessible at the time of writing, but what is known is that the existing low-rise auto-oriented commercial/office and surface parking uses would be cleared to make way for the new tower.
