CIBC Square is likely the top of most local “favourite new building” lists, but this is seriously mounting a challenge already.

Update on a Former Top Ten

Based on a Google Earth measurement, the glass parapet ("architectural feature") above the mechanical penthouse was not factored into the height for YC Condos. The top of that wall is 203.4 metres.

So if this is only 14/15 storeys (includes double height floors), I can’t imagine 94 storeys ;-). Might look almost an nyc pencil tower.

Well, assuming it is allowed a height increase. I'm skeptical about it.

WhipperSnapper · #**8028** Posted **Sep 17, 2022, 8:52 PM**

I still have reservations that this will top out as a supertall. It will look like a NYC pencil tower if it does.

Nouvellecosse · #**8029** Posted **Sep 17, 2022, 9:56 PM**

I think almost any purely residential tower (including those with retail in the base) will look like pencil towers if they have true supertall height. Residential towers almost always have much smaller floor plates so that's tough to avoid.

Pretty much in Toronto with residential floor plate maximums and 2.95 metre slab heights. In New York is it a low residential floor area ratio maximum and a desire from billionaires to live in the clouds. In either city, large commercial anchor tenants prefer occupying fewer floors. In the UAE or Russia, for example, the residential (hotel) tower is usually indistinguishable from the office tower in twin tower developments.

Yesterday prepping for the next pour: floor forms complete and rebar underway, and super-column rebar ‘cages” installed.

And... another big pour today.

Two solitudes: the gorgeous cladding of the lower floors + those dreaded garbage bags covering the upper floors ;-).

Pinnacle One Yonge | 312.5m | 95s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini l u/c

The construction site in @wmedia' photo below looks absolutely massive from north to south, compared to the (seemingly) smaller footprint indicated in the podium rendering.

Wondering if elements (parking etc.) connecting SkyTower to the future Phase 3 also part of what we see under construction.

SkyTower construction aerial… the site seems much bigger than the renderings had suggested. Hard to believe the Phase 3 tower (80 storeys - 264 metres) will fit in that tiny foreground spot where cars are parked.

You also had reservations it would ever make it out of sales and into construction.

He makes reservations all day long, then never shows up.

Restaurants hate him.

I indeed did. Pretty sure it's still selling.

Forma, Sugar Wharf and, One Yonge could add another six 800 footers to the portfolio in the next couple of years. That would give Toronto 15. That would make someone antsy but, probably not enough to change his rules again.

Maldive · #**8040** Posted **Sep 23, 2022, 4:06 PM**

800 feet is meaningless to the now metric most of the planet.

And 800 feet is also a meaningless metric in feet too! (see the clever double use of the word ;-).

I get 500 feet and I get 1000 feet... but 800 feet is someone trying to cling to some stats that would matter only to a certain city.
