Anyone confirm the height of One Bloor? I've seen something that suggests 240 metres to the top of the mechanical's roof. The parapet can't be more than 2 metres in height.

It was gonna be 238 meters when it was 70 floors... 240 meters at 75 floors?
Lol!
Urgh. I didn't believe it myself but, I still did my due diligence. Remember, they also changed the design of the tower's profile in that process. It was more involved than just tacking on 5 floors.
Am I the only one who thinks the balcony glass meeting the bluer glass near the base is going to look disjointed? You have this organic watery flow to the whole tower, then BAM straight line.
I see what you are trying to say. But if they carried the organic look all the way to the base it would have looked ridiculous, or been ridiculously expensive to engineer and build.
The base levels are retail, the podium levels above are amenity space for the condos, I believe.

The look is carried through. The balconies aren't. I don't see a need for engineering or huge costs to have incorporated the frit pattern of the balconies into the curtain wall.

True enough, if the base/podium levels were residential and not retail.
