That is one way they can be installed. They can also be assembled onto the Crane tower afterwards by the crane they have a section that comes off that allows them to slip over

I saw this photo on the front page first and the top half looks like it's straight from New York.

Maybe. That said it seems counterproductive and costly to add that section after-the-fact unless this is not the final position of this tower crane. I envisioned that if they had a tower crane attached externally to the tower portion of building it would have been atop the southside lower roof similar to the tower crane positioning on the other supertall under construction "the One" at Bloor Yonge.

I never saw a climbing cage installed without some dismantling given the cage usually fits over the stem portion of the tower crane?

The Terex system has 3 fixed sides and the forth side is removable bracing, it can be installed after.

Totally agree. His diagrams might be my favorite thing on this site...lol.

Ya, it just gives such a good visual representation of the progress. Yes, photos show that, but it's hard to tell which floor they are at, and see exactly how much is left.

Exactly.

No news on the requested height increase to 105 storeys, but pretty confident this will be approved at 99.99 storeys.

Height increase is done.

On the map: Going up, to the 105th floor

Pinnacle One’s new tower is pitching a “home in the sky” in its race to the top of Toronto

nationalpost.com

Sounds like it's being sold as 105 storeys, so I guess they're pretty confident it'll be approved as such!

If it's the article that's link above, I am not sure it's saying that's a done deal yet. Rather they're still persuading officials to get the new height approval...or least that's how I was reading it.

Looks like a pretty massive transfer slab is underway at this level.

For 99.99 storeys, they will first have to build 100 storeys and then sand the roof of the top floor a little.

So there’s TWO pools: one on the third floor on the north side, and one on the 7th floor on the south side?
