弗兰克·盖瑞享年96岁去世前仍在工作，他在2022年表示手上约有六个设计已完成或开发中项目，其中最重要的是多伦多一对超高层公寓塔楼。较高的一栋将达84层，比他在纽约完成的摩天楼高约8层，成为其职业生涯最高建筑，进一步放大他晚年的创作份量与数量。

多伦多公寓市场被形容为全球最严苛之一，因为融资高度依赖预售，通常要求约70%的单位在开工前售出，成本超支空间极小。近年新公寓销售量暴跌至逾30年未见的低点，导致数十栋大楼被取消，但以Gehry为名的Forma计划仍在这种环境下达成预售门槛，凸显其商业可行性。

这个项目萌芽于2012年前后，盖瑞与好友制作人Mirvish为老仓库基地规划成天际线地标，盖瑞也为此投入近20年。第一座塔楼于2023年动工，预计在2028年完工，而第二座更高塔楼的预售尚未启动，意味著距离看清他全部遗产与市场最终评价仍有数年时间。

Frank Gehry, who died at 96, was still overseeing roughly six major projects, including two super-tall condominium towers in Toronto, his birthplace. One of the pair is designed to reach 84 stories, about eight stories taller than his New York skyscraper, making it the tallest building of his career and a late-life peak in scale.

Toronto’s condo market is among the most unforgiving in global real estate, requiring about 70% of units to be sold before construction financing is secure, leaving little tolerance for cost overruns. In a period when new condo sales have crashed to lows not seen in more than three decades and dozens of buildings have been canceled, the Gehry-branded Forma project still met its strict presale threshold.

The towers grew from plans Gehry and producer David Mirvish were pursuing by around 2012 on a former warehouse site, a project that occupied much of Gehry’s last two decades. Construction of the first tower began in 2023 and it is scheduled for completion in 2028, while presales for the second, taller tower have not yet begun, leaving Gehry’s built legacy and the market’s verdict unresolved for years to come.
