Looks like it’s the exact same height as presitge!
(The crown that is)

Yea, I'd say it's taller, or even at worst. (From Queen Richmond Centre this morning)

earlier today from cineplex on Queensway and islington (yes I watched the Minecraft movie)
it’s just peaking out a bit, I’m curious as to how this’ll look once topped out lol

Working on 68 - 3.6m part mech level as of Monday. It will be a close race to 300m with One Bloor West. Wow, who would have thought?
This morning
Edit. Added
300m + ground at 77m = in level 97.
29 more floors pushes that into November.
One Bloor W is expected to complete level 85 292m by September and top out at 308m/ finish structure in November.

I sometimes wonder why the One seems to have so much more complications. They have several mechanical floors to create wind passage (and whatever mechanical things) and the giant pendulum on its crown to stabilize the building. Sky Tower doesn't have any of these designs while being taller.
Is it because of the shape, where Sky Tower's shape is better at mitigate wind? Or is the One just an over-engineered building?

It is claimed that The One is the stronger of the two for its hybrid exoskeleton mechanics and layout. And was designed to go much higher than it is currently planned to my understanding. So I would say that its scaled back height was a missed opportunity in its engineering, as opposed to being over-engineered. And for what that's worth.

Also the one has a three-story open ground floor as well as a far more condensed site a good example is there are multiple times we have seen sky tower being poured overnight whereas the one is only operating during work hours

In that diagram, the box at the top is smaller than in the diagram posted on page 500. Did they change it?

Previous image was the west elevation.
This drawing is from
Rev 6 Issued for Committee of Adjustment

South elevation below. Seems more inline with page 500

I have a strong feeling that there will be a glass crown that goes over it just like on prestige

Absolutely absurd that a project of this magnitude (with decent architecture and materials) would not extend the crown glass to hide a tuned mass damper and other mech barnacles. I know render-promises are often broken... but the top of that elevation looks nothing like this... looks like it was lopped off with a samurai sword:
UT
If they are too cheap to extend the glass crown, the absolute minimum they should do is design (maybe even with a tiny bit of architectural expression?) some kind of vertical enclosure to obscure that mess atop Canada's tallest (forever?) skyscraper...
I'll send Pinnacle and HPA a couple of World Series collectables for inspiration.

I think that the elevation drawing might leave the glass facade off in order to show where the height of the mechanical penthouse is as technically the roof of it would be the final building height
