Some of that footage was the best I've seen of our skyline.

No, there's not an inch of tapering. I assume that's one of the factual errors reported re: @cityspace's video (the other reviews of which make me not want to listen to any of it).

Not my vid to be clear. Thought I'd share as eye candy, b/c the footage, if watched in 4k, is actually pretty darn good. Try to watch silent, with your fave EDM playing on the background and let us know what you think.

The reason why the last mechanical floor is so close to the previous one is because Tridel is hoping to build to floor 96.
91 was approved, but they rescinded that plan pending their (successful) bid approval by the court. Tridel has rebranded the building, and is beginning to feel confident about allocating the additional resources pro-rata to build to the extended version of the building, if finally approved by Toronto council.
That's what I was told, at least, by someone close to the project.

So does this mean that there’s even the slightest, tiniest, chance that this gets build to floor 91 (if the info you received is correct) or is this just my never ending and ongoing delusion of tridel doing a switch up, and building to 91 floors?

The building is going to be 91, he's saying it might go to 96 again.

Yeah I'm going to say that with the vertical steel that is peeking from above the columns that we are at our final height would seem stupid if tridel hit pause on construction while they waited or a variance they may not get and rack up further bills

I agree, You can't change the super columns from rebar to I-Beams as the loads to carry the floor loads are different than open space.
