I would be so scared to fly my drone with that high with these crazy high winds.......
Just curious, have any drone operators here every been harassed by workers while flying?

If workers see or hear your drone you are WAY WAY WAY too close. You'd be harassing them, not the other way around. It's their job site and their safety.

Is this essentially the final look for all of the mechanical floors?

Well.... without the scaffolding, likely yes.
I hate to say it, but while unique...... this is a pretty ugly building. I do not think it's going to age well.

I wouldn't say ugly - but I'm definitely not blown away by the design...
Take away the supertall aspect, and take away the "Foster & Partners" name, and it's a pretty bland building that looks like another downtown office.
There almost feels like an expectation on this site, that we HAVE to like this building. Group-think if you ask me.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm sure I'm not in the majority. Still, doesn't it just give you mid 90s office vibes?

It's a welcome relief from the sea of blue/green towers that have blanketed Toronto over the last 20 years. For that alone I will take it. It's def a cool looking condo tower.
Once complete, I think it will look quite nice. I hope they do add some type of exterior lighting feature as I feel the high quality materials would look great with a bit of ambient lighting. Not holding my breath on that though with Tridel at the helm. Cost cutting will be the name of the game here I can imagine.

Have you seen Tridel quality? They are best condo builders in the GTA bar none. Some of their previous work was not to everyone's taste but their buildings stand the test of time.

That's exactly why at minimum it's a decent looking building. Anything that's not a blue/green rectangle is a welcome addition, and this is much more then that.
