February 23; 2023. After observing 4 meters extra excavation at Concord Sky, My Prediction Concord Sky planning to go over 100 floors, probably 102 floor.. I know how could I say this, well time will tell.View attachment 458249View attachment 458250

They can't go any higher due to shadowing, so only that many floors if they chop the floor to floor height, which I believe they already went to the min. 2.95m

You are looking at the 2.6m deep raft slab excavation (as well as the Footings below some of the other walls) that is below the Main Elevator Core that will service above ground floor up the the Mechanical floors.
These footings (engineers went with local footings under the walls/columns vs the full building being a Raft or Mat slab) will "disappear" below the Level B05 Slab on Grade once it gets poured.
Current set of drawings still has the building at 299m above grade.

No idea what you just said there but it sure does sound cool 😎
 
Rumors are there are delays on site currently due to waiting for more rebar (increased rebar requirements to the lower walls and footings) as they are bringing the building drawing sets from around 85 stories (299m to peak) to the advertised 95 stories (TBDm). Waiting to see the updated elevation once the set reflects the 95 +/- floors.

There's been at least 95 stories about this one including those from all the condo realtors and Concord itself... not sure why UT still uses the 85 storey title metric.

It’s interesting that Pinnacle’s SkyTower was originally approved at 312.5 metres and 95 storeys … not sure how thick concrete floor slabs need to be for a super-tall residential building (up to 1 foot?)… maybe someone here knows?

What height increase are you referring to here?

It does not matter what the rumours are if they are not true. There is no height increase here, it's simply a case of Concord not using true numbers for the floors. Pandering to superstition, they skip over the 4th, 13th, 14th, 24th, 34th, 44th, 54th, 64th, 74th, and 84th floors. Skip over all of those and suddenly you can dish out the hype and pretend that you have a 95-storey building, even though you only really have an 85-storey building. We don't truck in hype.

Current project drawings have the building shown as around Level 83 being last residental level then 5 levels of mechanical (difference from Ground Datum to Peak = 299 m)
This building is advertised as 95 residential levels, which requires an increase in height to fit those in, which looks to be in progress in the drawing sets with the changes to the lower levels.
Have yet to see what the peak elevation is once L95 is the top residential floor, plus mechanical floors above....
 
To add to @ProjectEnd 's most pertinent question.

The latest Arch. Plans on this site were submitted in January '23 as part of the SPA process.

They still show 85 storeys.

There have been some minor revisions, mostly to do with how the amenity areas are organized and a modest increase in unit total.

You’re interpreting things incorrectly. There is no height increase, nor has there even been talk of a height increase.

If height were increasing, there would be an application to do so, and it would be refused because of shadowing like others have mentioned. All of this would be public info by now if that were the case, and if the developer were revising their construction drawings to accommodate it.
