I am super excited when I realize that this building is supposed to be more than 100 m taller than CIBC Square!

It'll definitely dwarf every building in its nearby vicinity!

Sunday
It looks like they will be ready to finish the pour for level 16 on Monday.

The camera mechanical shutter is testing my eyes and brain as the pattern transitions in height.

Could someone take my picture and draw in how tall the next tower will be and where it will sit. I guess there are still buildings to be demolished to make room for it?

Here's how tall it should look:

Oh wow!! It's gonna be huge. Very cool.

 

[mburrrrr]

Nice work @steveve
Now if we could just cancel or delay this one.

Isn’t it almost as high as the big observation deck in the CN Tower?

 

[mburrrrr]

Sugar Wharf twin towers, which started the same time as Pinnacle Phase 1, seem almost fully occupied while the Pinnacle Prestige tower seems about 10 floors behind in occupancy.

Picture from Feb 2, 2024 Sugar Wharf 2nd tower (west/taller/later completion) in the foreground.

Even more that appears to be unoccupied on the south side of the building.

I recall Sky Tower being as tall as the observation deck

I recall Sky Tower being as tall as the observation deck

The observation deck *346 m (1,136 ft) above ground. The Sky Tower is 344.9 m (1,132 ft) above ground. So a tad shy...

Picky picky. Comparing two heights 1.1m apart when we're talking about hundreds of metres, they are the same imo.

Just a personal observation after flying the drone around downtown...

I realized that the observation deck of the CN tower isn't THAT high relative to other Toronto buildings these days.

Like it's still obviously very high, but compared to a lot of the downtown towers and the new condos, it's not that 'in the clouds' height you imagined it to be growing up.

Now the overall height of the CN Tower at 553 metres is still really tall, but he 346 metre observation deck isn't crazy.

Here's a little flight over FCP that's about the same height as observation deck.

I was probably thinking of the old height when I said "almost as high". The extended version is even taller than I thought!

I was up on the CN Tower over the holidays for the first time in over 20 years and was amazed how much closer everything feels to it now.

Gonna take me a few tries to get the cladding right but it's full speed ahead with that transfer slab complete... (also may need to brave the Toronto Documents website to update the architectural plans as these may be too short!).
