Nice shots. Something should have been done to the podium rooftop on Simcoe Place. A greenroof would have been very useful there. From that angle it looks brutal.

Approximately how much taller than Simcoe Place will RBC be?

182m (42 floors) - 148m (33 floors) = 34m (9 floors)

It will also have a much sleeker profile than Simcoe Place. However when you watch the construction progress it just doesn't seem that way. Kinda seems a bit bulky right now, but as it rises, it will appear taller and slimmer.

Slimmer than Simcoe? How is that possible?
Notice the core starting to setback?

I thought I said it would appear to have a slimmer profile than Simcoe Place; Because it will be taller than Simcoe Place.
Ah well, credit caltrane for getting a lurker, to finally post to the board.

Hahaha.
I agree, though. RBC will make Simcoe look squat and chunky by comparison (not in a bad way).

looks like they are at about the 20th floor now... its starting to take shape nicely now, as is that center portion that will join RBC and Ritz.

some really nice finds there Cal!
that little park infront of Metro Hall is going to be a cool space once it gets closed in by RBC and Ritz...

Those four low-rise buildings on the far left in the panorama will look so cool when this place gets filled in a little more.
