    Been walking by here quite a bit recently. I think this tower will really shine when done. That angled glass is stunning in person and the tower is having a large imposing presence already.

    Interesting. So basically the height of the crane is where it tops out. She's going to be tall! Already looking beastly now.

    I saw this tower in person last week when I visited downtown. The glass is extremely impressive in real, and is unlike any other tower in the city. I can only imagine how it will look once completed. The glass on the 5 storey addition isn't as nice, I will agree with that. Thankfully the actual...

    Looks like they are building a parking garage haha.

    Cancelled? It's 70% leased and still 2 years away from completion. No way in hell this one will be cancelled, its full steam ahead.

    The budget legislation about no foreign buyers is all bark no bite. If you read the fine print you'll see there are enough loopholes that any prudent person can get around them. For instance if you have students going to school here you're exempt, if you're not a citizen but a permanent...

    Mississauga? Jeeze. I guess there are some people who you can never please. I say remain patient and you will be pleasantly surprised.

    G&M has an article out today on this project: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-frank-gehry-moves-one-step-closer-to-building-major-toronto-project/

    ^The towers you've shown as comparable are all stumps and 99% of people would never even know they are there. The Gehry towers are much nicer than any of those especially with the cladding, height, and 3d look they have. The original 3 amigos toilet paper wrapped design was never going to...

    Doesn't surprise me. This will an iconic project that will have every tourist snapping pictures from all angles. There will be a premium to own in these towers. To get a nice 1 bedroom unit on a higher floor with a decent view you'll be spending over a million.

    Im sorry there are no towers in Toronto or Canada for that matter which resemble anything close to these. If there are, they are too short to have any presence/significance and I guarantee the materials will be way different. I think this project will be iconic.

    These towers are stunning. Will totally change the look of Toronto. I hope they sell out fast.

    Love the glass on this thing! This tower is going to really look great once completed, def going to surprise many.

    On its way to becoming the tallest building in the area. The two across the road are 688ft (Ritz) and 607ft (RBC Centre) . This one will be be 100-180ft higher.

    Love that angled glass! The big bank buildings never disappoint.

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    The Toronto skyline has so many different vantage points. I agree in some angles it doesn't look that big at all while in others it looks monstrous. Depends on the angle and where you're taking the picture. Because the towers are spread across such a large area and elevation, some angles can...

    This will be Toronto's first 300m tower. Pinnacle has done an amazing job with their timelines, and execution. While it's sad the Sky Tower won't retain the initial design, I still have confidence it will turn out better than average.

    So does this conversation have any relevance for construction to begin in the near future...or is it some fantasy plan 10+ years down the road?
