    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Likely want to encase the columns before they're surrounded with supports and formwork for the floor above.

    Toronto Ontario Court of Justice Toronto | 95.7m | 17s | Infrastructure ON | Renzo Piano

    It's almost spot on the renders so this was expected. From Infrastructure Ontario

    The facade up close and afar are two different experiences, both amazing though. Quality stuff.

    Toronto Ontario Court of Justice Toronto | 95.7m | 17s | Infrastructure ON | Renzo Piano

    Keep in mind it's a Provincial court house. There's some rooms that are probably hard to peer into for a reason (there's a lot of redacted elements of the planning docs for instance).

    Toronto/Chicago comparisons

    Already larger population than the city of Chicago (2.7m) but it gets fuzzy when you compare Metros. Though their Metro population is larger by about 3 million people, the physical area is also about 5x as big.

    Toronto Scotiabank North Tower at Bay Adelaide Centre | 140.2m | 32s | Brookfield | KPMB

    Pretty sure all three of these towers did that. You can see cross bracing in the corners of the most recent pic. Relatively common way of increasing floor space in office builds.

    Toronto Scotiabank North Tower at Bay Adelaide Centre | 140.2m | 32s | Brookfield | KPMB

    That's my take. May not be anything special but offices going up in the city sometimes give us beauties like CIBC Square and hopefully 160 Front (quality TBD).

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Looks like they are planning to have a portion of it done, but I imagine there will be a lot of regulations that would prohibit someone from actually using said park (construction above).

    This timeline has a very 1,2 skip a few 99, 100 vibes to it with that brief hiatus.

    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    Below grade is pretty hard to judge and get accurate, so I tend to shy away from it to be honest. The diagrams aren't meant to be 100% correct, but more of a visual judge of what's left to go (with some realism beyond a plain single coloured massing). With below grade, there's a pretty clear...

    I'm not a building scientist but my guess is it's going to go up for another ~290m.

    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    I'm willing to do just a flat massing but it's way too complex to deal with (and it's pretty far along at this point anyways). Also it's a BIG project but less impressive to watch climb (getting to grade was the real topping out in my opinion).

    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    I briefly considered doing it and in the process fell asleep from boredom so it got thrown out. Like The One, if folks can try to get as many wider shots as possible (especially from this angle) it'll help me draw them with more accuracy. This is, of course a group-effort. Can't do it without...

    Humble request, when folks are walking around the site at ground level - try to get a nice wide-angle shot when possible! Will greatly help the progress drawing.

    Above grade? Diagram time.

    I actually love the way both this and CC3 would fit in from this angle.
