Loving the tower but not looking forward to the absolutely soulless ground floor. I'd love for the city to have a complete rethink about how they approach the ground plane - the 60% minimum glazing policy is causing far more damage than improvement to the public realm. We need texture and detail at the ground level! Not just vision glass that gets covered in plastic decals anyway. Please City of Toronto, I am begging you.
 
Everyone can get mad at me for sounding like a broken record but whenever I look at this picture I just want them to start the third Tower 🥺🥺 they have done so well on this project minus the street level that we all complain about and I can actually agree with from the couple times I've been down there it is pretty sterile would love for the project to get finished so we can start getting the street level back to livable and not feeling like a never-ending construction site though I feel like that is what it truly feels like to live in Toronto, 🤣🤣

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is there any chance this 106th "amenity" level could be some kind of public observation deck? From what I know amenity is just intended for building residents, but I would like to keep some hope...
With The One's skygarden/observation deck being likely cancelled (?) due to Tridel not building to the full height, there will continue to be an absence of observation decks in Toronto besides the CN Tower (as well as City Hall's observation floor and TD Centre's 54th floor during Doors Open, can't wait to check those out this year). It would be awesome if Skytower could change that, but maybe that's just naive daydreaming....

There is no chance of Pinnacle One Yonge's SkyTower having a public observation deck, just as there has never been any chance of The One/One Bloor West having one either. Neither building has one or more elevators dedicated to that purpose, and neither has ever had any planned for that purpose. You simply don't mix the public into standard elevators in residential towers.

If you want high vantage points in town other than what you mentioned about, you can always head to the top of a number of buildings if you're prepared for a meal, like at Canoe atop the TD Centre (so you don't need to wait for Doors Open), AP Restaurant at the Manulife Centre, Kost Restaurant atop the Bisha, Valerie atop Hotel X, the Writers Room atop the Park Hyatt, Aera's summer rooftop at The Well, and there are a pile more.
