Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

Concord sky is a supertall. It just isn't at the arbitrary location chosen for the bylaw amendment that happens to have the highest geodetic ground height. It's stubbornness and very Torontonian to deny oneself a third supertall over a technicality.

CTBUH measures height from the lowest public entrance to the tallest point: they give it a measurement of 300.2m.

For comparing heights to buildings in other cities this is the most consistent measurement provided.

Any ideas on what the name of the system is

It's grouped in with the RCS (rail climbing system) as it uses the same type of rails and anchor system to climb (same as the protection panels), the elevator core is ACS (same concept but different procedure).

I wouldn’t be shocked if this tops out before The One.

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

Highly doubtful The one is currently averaging one floor per week. The transfer slab on this project took 12 weeks and we have got another four floors since then. I can see it passing the super tall Mark before the one tops out but not topping out before

I wouldn’t be shocked if this tops out before The One.

This building has a lot more floors than The One. And seem to be using a lot more reinforcement on the concrete...so I am going to wager a no on that.

..besides, The One is going up like gangbusters right now. It may slow up on the mechanicals, but I doubt that will be enough.

First Canadian Place losing the title as Canada's tallest is happening sooner than I thought
and it could be knocked all the way down to 4th due to this, The One, Forma and Concord's Giant Clunk Monster Wedge thing

This one so far looks like its going to be a Sleek modern Super-tall worthy of Canada's Tallest

One of the buildings of Sugar Wharf Phase 2 will be 299 so that will also bump FCP down to about 5th or 6th. FCP is listed at 298m on here, so going by that and heights listed of these buildings it would be 6th. SW 2 should be listed as "under construction" in the next few weeks and the demo of the LCBO is complete.

 

[evandyk]

The height of FCP includes that pretty substantial "needle" on top, right? Do any of these other ~300m buildings include significant toppers that aren't actually part of the building?

I don’t think the spire on FCP is part of the listed height. If you were measuring to the top of the spire it’s 355m

 

[wmedia]

There is no spire on FCP, just guyed antennas. A structural spire would be counted in the building height, but antennas are not.

 

[GenerationLee]

I've also heard that FCP is not truly 298M, but around 290M. I havent tested if this true, but AFAIK the former number was what the tower was touted to be in height when first built.


The cladding is looking quite good here.

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

What floor do we think we will be on when forma hits grade? I am going to say at current pace if it doesn't pick up around 40
