Who knows? All I know is if I had paid millions of dollars for a 70th floor penthouse and was then told it would now be a 57th floor penthouse, I’d be some upset.

Ah, screw them. They're just a bunch of millionaires. It's what everyone else has to look at which is more important.

Apparantly the new height is 919 ft.

WhipperSnapper · #4 Posted **Apr 19, 2007, 9:17 PM**

^^I'd prefer 1066ft but 919ft ain't bad at all

LordMandeep · #5 Posted **Apr 19, 2007, 11:57 PM**

none apart from the BOW which isn't that far away...

Maldive · #6 Posted **Apr 20, 2007, 1:04 AM**

That's great news that the BOW has grown to 900' (...not... last time I looked it was 774 feet and 2.35 inches).

yup..236M.

Just a few meters taller than Ritz and B-A already under construction here in Toronto. They downsized the project due to shadowing, according the the Alberta forumers. But even at it's previous hieght I dont think it was 900ft anyway.

TOBoy · #9 Posted **Apr 21, 2007, 7:13 PM**

^ 810 ft. and one extra floor.

The "Festival Tower" is incredibly banal. Too bad since so many come to Toronto for the film festival, it would have been a great opportunity to showcase something new and exciting. Instead we get the typical box shaped Toronto tower. Disappointing.

I think this tower will turn out quite sharp. This isn't some cheap green piece of crap they're building.
