Who said anything about pointless diversions? Maybe Bay-Adelaide's builders will do a "William Van Alen" and sneak in a few hundred extra feet when nobody's noticing

Any 'Van Alen' kind of trick would make an ugly addition to BA. No thanks.

Sure it's huge - it's as huge as a hundred other buildings under construction in various cities around the world, very few of which have a webcam and a thread breathlessly describing every additional floor, bit of steel, mullion, etc. One expects progress in a construction project.
What is HUGE? Huge is the Burj Dubai, as of 1 March it was 2,006 feet with 160 completed floors. Final completed height is unknown but best guesses are around 2,680 feet.
Not to diminish what is happening on BAC and in Toronto - it is exciting - but, guys, keep it in perspective. We are a world city.
It is indeed tall. But it's not much to look at, at least in that picture.
Not really. Right panel that was to be lit at night is now different.

If Dubai is what you're upholding as "world city", you must be a 13-year-old boy or something...

I think you are the one who taken the wrong perspective. This forum and this thread is about Toronto and construction going on in Toronto. You have missed these obvious details.
Speaking of breathless, it seems that the tallest monument to conspicuous consumption has given you a real hard-on.

A "thirteen year old boy or something...." (with) "a real hard-on." Really.
I must have also missed the obvious details where this sort of comment is regarded as an acceptable part of the give and take on Toronto and construction going on in Toronto. If nothing else, it's just too sophomoric.
Hurling out attitude and personal slagging should be even less relevant to what this forum is about than posts drawing comparison to things happening outside of Toronto. I hope it was the midnight Johnny Walker speaking.
I will comment on this matter no further.

Maybe she means in the financial district.
No more small buildings allowed in the MINT. I think that's what she meant.

Good to see the preparations for the historical facade, should be interesting to see that go up.
Let the cladding commence!

Let me ask the question that is dying to be asked: "Any news on phase two?"
To which we'll get the well-known refrain: "If anyone knows, then they'll post that info when they have it".
It's a common question and reply here, as well as on HoFo.
