Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

[Strange Advance]

^Hey, we'll take it. At that rate, it will top out in about a year.

I think this is the top speed they can get to without starting a night shift and I don't think Toronto would allow that. So a floor every 5 days is what we are getting

The blind cheerleading for this albatross is really quite bizarre. Clearly lots of people have lost, or are going to lose a bloody fortune, not to mention the spillover affects on the industry and local economy.

Translation: I'm smarter than everyone, including those who've decided to keep the building going. They should be listening to me because I'm smart. Did I say the word "fraud" yet? "Fraud".

The blind cheerleading for this albatross is really quite bizarre.

The vast majority of people will never know the pitfalls of this project. They will gaze upon its splendour, completely oblivious pf the issues that befell it. It is not the first time a project went into receivership, nor will it be the last. If I never read another word about its financials, it'll be too soon.

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

Yep same as so many other projects through Toronto in 10 years this will be the only hint that it nearly never made it

Well to anyone saying skytower will catch up the transfer slab on the 12th level is at week #3 so think the one may win this race

Well, this one still has two mechanical sections to go. How many transfer slabs or mechanical sections does the Skytower will have after the current one?

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

I believe that there are still three larger slabs that have to be prepped as sky Tower goes up to tie back into the older core. We are on floor 45. I think it is someone. Correct me if I'm wrong doing one floor every 5 days so I believe it will be tight but we will see this building popped out before skytower

"Gaze upon its splendor".

Hahah. It's just a tall beige building in a very stabby part of Toronto. It's not the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Have you looked at some of the architecture/buildings in this city??? Compared to most of the other buildings, it is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

No, but with spandrel'd mediocrity that adorns most of our city, this might as well be the Hanging Gardens of Babylon when all is said and done. But I think you probably know that already.

Wym "stabby"? That's Yorkville, Mink Mile, etc, etc.

 

[evandyk]

I like Yonge and Bloor, but it’s not Yorkville.
