I don't want to be a downer, but this can easily just be a rounded-off number.

It could be, but it's hard to imagine them announcing that it will be a 1000 ft tower if it was just being rounded up.

it is a good news.

It really doesn't matter. Only the freakiest of supertall freaks would complain about it being 999.7 feet rather than 1000.0 feet

Wow!!!!

With the right cladding I think the tower on the right (East site) could turn out quite nice. I still don't get the larger tower on the left.

Looks amazing. I'm pretty damn excited that Toronto is getting two Gehry towers.

When r they starting? Have they been approved?

The tower on the right is the more 'expected' (reminiscent of 8 Spruce in NYC) whereas the tower on the left looks to be something distinctively new... at least to my amateur eyes!!

Is that a newly-added third tower to the left or is it part of (in relief of) the overall design of the taller left tower??

Still the same and only left tower.

Becoming more and more impressive to my eyes. Boring is definitely one adjective that does not apply.

Yes both towers have been approved. Now the challenge is to find a reputable builder that's willing to take on such a daunting project.

Ya in trying to wrap my head around what type of material/cladding they are gonna use for the main body of the taller tower. The photo is just of a model so it's hard to base any judgement of it. I think it would be cool if they could use some crazy cladding like the one on the ryerson student centre.

It looks like such a radical departure from the norm in this city that it'll be the New City Hall of our time.
