    True except the bathroom at the presentation center was nothing like this. It was completely cladded in big slabs of marbles like Shangri-La, and here we are, can’t even give you 8 more wall tiles to complete the wet area behind the freestanding tub let alone the quality of the marble. The TV...

    Just saying from the viewpoint of 488 University the courthouse will block the view of NPSq from the west so that sucks, but not all is lost for 488 because the new Sick Kids patients centre will block the ugly smokes stacks.

    On the upside the new patient center at sick kids will block that ugly smokes stack. Win for patients and win for the cityscape.

    Except the finishes were way off from what were “sold” at the presentation center.

    Great this is going to block the view of Nathan Philip Square from 488 University. Well at least there was one New Year celebration while it lasted.

    Does anyone notice the floor height change starting on Floor 51 to 54 and then the extra tall Floor 55?

    Counting the floors (starting at Floor 20 on the base of the residential portion), it is at Floor 55 which is the top penthouse floor.

    I remember seeing a city document showing the height of the building above sea level, but I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone know how it compares to 481 University? Thanks!

    Inside being completed. You can see the drop ceiling over the kitchen area with four pot lights.

    No it is a 55-floor Tower. Residential floor starts on Floor 21.

    No it is 6+ mechanical. It’s on 49th floor and it is a 55-floor building.

    From the skyline photo posted above it looks like the NE corner of the building can also see the south view of the lake.

    This is the third postponement so I suppose is legally their last. And the April 2019 date is for one of the top floors. ;)

    Oh good, short enough to not block the views. I guess that’s where I need to go in the future to fight my parking tickets ;)
