Pretty basic . The very last line is the only thing worthy of ponder.

I'm surprised 213 meters is tall enough for this list.

So it looks like they are finally onto a standard floor plate for the next 60-65 floors or so.

Saw it in person 2 days ago. I'm really impressed with the quality of materials they are using. I have really high hopes for this tower now.

This curtain-wall will sparkle ’n shine @ 105 storeys tall and forever change the downtown skyline. So much better than any renderings.

These hotel floors are very grey when they aren't sparkling from a distance. It might all be for the birds.

How many "Pinnacle" towers have there been in Toronto? I was surprised that it is still under construction, then I realized this is a different "Pinnacle".

That Yonge view of The One really shows what a dump of a street Yonge has become. It's a complete and utter embarrassment to the city. Yonge was never a beautiful street but it was a fun one and with all the condos going up along the corridor you would think cleaning up the street and making it a beautiful and pedestrian friendly one that the city could be proud of would be a top priority.

I think Torontonians have gotten to use to Yonge and don't realize what a complete abomination the street is. Calling it ugly is an insult to ugly things everywhere.
