Seeing as how 1WTC is not significantly shorter than twice the height of 1BW, I think that if the Americans were to stop building today, it may take Canada 100 years to surpass it...assuming Mexico isn't the only Superpower by then. ;)

It's obvious now!

I think it'll look terrific once all the windows are in, etc.

You're right--by 1 or 2 metres.

There's only three buildings currently under construction whose height, when completed, would be taller than FCP, the current record holder. At the current rate of construction, The One will be the first. Then, Pinnacle 1 Yonge will supersede it, and by the time Forma is erected, it will be...

I read that somebody on this site had (access to) some kind of drawings that indicated height. I think it was the guy who posts progress drawings about once a month.

Wouldn't the architectural drawings accurately indicate a building's height...unless the construction crew is totally inept?

You're taking Google Earth's "word" for it.

By my reckoning, they'll be done pumping concrete in about three months unless there's something I'm not aware of.

As someone who knows less about tower construction than Sam, allow me to ask a dumb question: Why didn't they start interior work a year ago?

It's nice that The One can be photographed from so many different angles now that it's tall enough to be seen from just about anywhere. Kudos to everyone posting photos.

I feel like popping Champagne when it surpasses 1BE or FCP. I hope somebody lets us know when these events occur.
