Anyone notice that the new render looks a lot taller then the original?

Well it is, now 329.5 meters/ 1080 feet

I like some elements of both. Just needs to be a bit taller and revert to the original colour scheme and bracing.

I think the design now is still nice, seeing the old and new renders next to each other the new one is more dramatic in height and the hangar design is fine with me. I do prefer the colour of the first, things like that change anyways so who knows what we will/ would have gotten in regards to the colour.

it was always 329 meters, previously it was just two hideous elevator overruns that brought it to that height. Those overruns have now been integrated into the new crown.

At first glance I thought I was looking at the base of CIBC/2 Bloor West across the street. Still looks really good IMO.

Nice, anyways it looks a lot more elegant than the original

It can use a well-designed aerial or two to finish it up.

Can't resist commenting, but this is one of the funnier renderpeople I've seen. I like coffee as much as the next guy, but double-fisting your Starbucks? Really?

Maybe it's because his girl/friend is on the phone, and cannot multi-task. Or maybe it's a commentary on the sort of people they expect to live in/near the building.

That guy is a latte-sipping downtown elitist, as Ford Nation would say. Surprise surprise, he will soon be living at The One.

It's back down to 319.5m to the best of my knowledge

Agreed. The diagrid bracing worked into this design would look great. The street presence of the original proposal was more interesting, in my opinion. I miss the living wall.
