I only just noticed, as it's obscured by the crane, but the concrete pump has been installed on the core.

I think they might have started the first residential floor plate

April 21st 2023, so much rebar

...where the weight of a 105 story building starts to hit home.

Tough to ìmagine that this is going to be 40 stories higher than the existing presiteige tower.

Wouldn't surprise me if the city came back and said they made some kind of mistake and they have to chop the height by 30 floors.

The original height that was approved was at 90 stories plus (?) and well above the supertall mark. So why would The City turn around and asked it to be scaled back by an additional 20 stories from the original agreement if the asking height and stories do not get approved? I am pretty sure that's not how that works, lol.

...furthermore, for every dollar we get when a reader claims The City this and The City that, we could all afford to live in this tower on move in date. Just saying.

It was a joke....just saying.

I've noticed that when someone jokes about/talks about/ sarcastically mentions the city in regard to having any control over anything in any way, someone always needs to chime in as if the original poster was serious.
Maybe we should introduce a mandatory laughing emoji or something to show intent for jokes or sarcasm.

I'm hoping this doesn't catch the One in construction. The One deservers to be Canada's new tallest and first supertall, even if it's just for one day.

Since SkyTower occupies the northern portion of the podium.... and if it does top out at 105 storeys... I'm very concerned that it will shadow the Gardiner Expressway on March 18 @ 1:53 pm.

Off topically/meta'lly: I really don't think the Poe's Law defense should really cut it in the opinion, especially after the fact. Either clearly state it's joking off the bat, with or without the emoji...or it's declared open season on the claim and the poster has to own it. No getting out of jail free card here.
