Cool but it's too tall ... it's only around 280 m - scotia bank plaza is just about the same less 5 m or so

I would agree...it's already around 30 storeys..roughly half its guestimated height. From the perspective of that picture it wil likely be shorter than Traynor's (very good) rendering. Anyway, neither here nor there...time will tell. :)
 
I dunno. When you account for the portion of the existing structure that is hidden by the trees, and double that height, you end up with the rooftop quite close to its location in Traynor's rendering.
 
The height I is usually the most accurate part of my drawings. I did this one quickly and on retrospect I should have dropped the height just a smidge. The top of the onion dome will be almost parallel with the bottom of the giant "S" logo of Scotia Plaza. Then the spire should end just below the roof of First Canadian Place. So I was off, but not by much.

I was contemplating adding "L" and Shangri-la, so maybe if I get inspired I'll add them soon.

Here's a modified version, with a slightly more accurate height for Trump.:

From the Toronto Sun:

Ivanka Trump swung into Toronto Tuesday to check up on the status of the Trump Tower.

The blonde beauty, daughter of real-estate magnate Donald Trump, posted photos and updates to her Twitter account: http://twitter.com/IvankaTrump

The Trump International Hotel & Tower – named for "The Donald," a minority shareholder in the development – is scheduled for completion in 2011.

"Heels and a hard hat ... quite a look!" she Tweeted, along with a photo of herself donned in protective gear on the Bay and Adelaide Sts. construction site.

When completed, the 60-storey mixed-use skyscraper will be the tallest residential building in Canada
