When will the Phase 3 tower start being built? CTBUH says it will start in 2025 and be completed in 2030 but I think that that's outdated.

Don't expect it anytime soon. The condo market is total garbage now.

A balcony on the 88th floor! Can you just imagine the wind at that height? Would it not be enough to lift you over the glass? Perhaps a higher glass balcony would be in order.

We had a balcony on the 18th floor at Church and Yonge facing Rosedale Valley Road and the ravine....it was crazy windy some days. No... you could not stand or even go out onto the balcony some days. Grant it was a NE corner 50ft long. Pretty sure our couch was a handy addition to some encampment in the ravine. Yes...we tied the furniture down.

One of the buildings we lived in had a beautiful rooftop patio on the 21st floor. It was great up there, but the wind could be a real problem. It was basically impossible to barbecue with the lid open because there was always too much wind. I doubt you'd get much utility out of an 88th floor balcony, except for bringing guests out there for a few minutes to oooh and aaaah at the view.

Damn it I missed the opening to make comments to the city about this at the CoA. I dont mind the height increase at all, it's the damn monstrous podium of Phase 3 that's still the big issue. It's far too imposing, and it just casts an unnecessary shadow on the plaza, not to mention the amenities for those in Phase 1 and 2.

I really dont get why Pinnacle is intent on this podium height.

...now all we need is the market to kick into high gear so this will be built as opposed to just being postulated about. >.<
