I would agree if it weren't the same developer and the building looked completely different like for example if prestige was taller it would look dumb but the building being proposed is very similar to the same glass and balcony style as sky Tower so they were almost look like siblings
What is this anonymous indoor amenity space being added? Is it an observation deck, as was announced for SkyTower? If so, why not just say that?Not sure why, but @innsertnamehere 's link doesn't work for me, if anyone else is having issues, try this one:

And, if I recall correctly, wasn't it demolished to make way for FCP (the tallest building at the time)?
yes. FCP took out almost an entire block of the city in the middle of downtown. It was a very destructive project.
O&Y moved the Star from that building at King and Bay into this one to facilitate the original's demolition and FCP's construction.

There's a 0% chance of condo occupation this year.Forgive me if this is already common knowledge but the fact that the hotel (Le Meridien) is scheduled to open in December 2025. This makes me wonder if some of the condos will be occupied at that time as well?

Invite only, I thinks. And only by folks on the upper floors to my understanding.
So the people at the top, who already enjoy amazing views, are the only ones allowed access to essentially the same views from the observation deck. What kind of crass snobism is this?
Though I am sure it would be fun to get access to the observation lounges, why would owners living in a condo building really want 'strangers' using their building to get there? The hotel portion on the lower floors will undoubtedly be totally separated from the residential as is normal.
I'm not talking about members of the public: I'm talking about residents of the building.
They are clearly trying to have two 'classes' of resident. The Upper (floors) Class and the Lower (floors) Class. Are all residential units in the building going to be in one condo Corporation or will there be two? If it is all one Corporation, I find this 'classism' very odd and unfortunate, if there are two Corporations it makes more sense.
