Thanks for the pictures. Is this really going to top out around 174 meters as suggested in the database? It seems quite a bit shorter, even once the mech has been added. Was this tower shortened at some point? (referring to 1 York)

162.8 metres (534 feet) is what we have in the dataBase.

I guess I read it in an older post then. Is it still 35 storeys, therefore 1 storeys to go and mechanical? I don't know for some reason it feels shorter than expected to me, unless the mechanical is going to be very large.

 

[interchange42]

I'm not certain if they are on 34 or not now, but yes, it's still to be a 35-storey plus mechanical building.

I'm really excited for the residential towers. They are going to be so slender and tall. I know they are just shy in height of the taller ice tower but because they are a tiny bit further south I imagine they will have just as much if not more impact from the islands.

Yeah, nice design to the balconies......the two building @ 765 ft, + 735 ft, is no way shy of ICE's 768 ft, 663 ft, and most likely will have a greater impact in our skyline

 

[stjames2queenwest]

I say shy of ice's height very loosely as they are pretty much the same. The balcony patterns remind me of joy division

I know many here hate the Gardiner but that drive in from the west in a few years will be something extraordinary!!

It's quite difficult to determine if the balconies are fritted glass or some other material- is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Similar dilemma with Massey Tower (which looks to be a combo of glass and other material)
