This type of project is similar to geological processes such as continental drift. You can measure the short term changes using scientific equipment, but for most people they aren't apparent to the naked eye. However, when you look at the changes across long time scales, the difference becomes obvious. Six month increments is probably the minimum in this case.

By the time it is finished the tectonic plate it sits on will have drifted to give Hamilton it's first supertall.

3. M3 @ M City (Mississauga): 260m / 853ft
The building is under construction now, this is taken from the "back" of the development site if you will, the two cranes as shown..one is in the pit, one is beside the site, likely for the podium's construction: Construction, in Mississauga by Draulerin Photographics, on Flickr

The One moved fairly quickly compared to a few other projects in the city. Namely One Bloor East across the road. If anything the Mirvish Towers could get that name. Rumours of One Bloor only starting coming out late 2011, with construction starting the summer of 2017. Here we are approaching 9.5 years after first hearing of it and it's well under way. That's pretty fast for a 338.3m luxury tower.
The quality of materials on this building are looking good, and this is the most modest design of the 3 towers and the shortest. Does anybody know if the middle tower is also u/c now?
# 10. The Prestige at Pinnacle One Yonge (Toronto): 217m / 712ft
We still don't know if it'll be 338 metres.....I'm sticking with 308 or whatever it isuntil the city tells us otherwise based on the proposal made by the developer.
