Some recent pics
So, the recent height claim is getting interesting. I thought I should look into this Tallest Condo in Canada thing, so I'm adding this post to show what's clear now, and what's unclear.
Here's the top of The One:
You'll notice on the left above that the "TMD Roof" (that stands for Tuned Mass Damper) is at 305.6 metres. On the right, you'll see another 3000 millimetres are to be added for the top of the super-column structure, so a total of 308.6 metres, or 1,012' 5 ⅝".
The top of Pinnacle One Yonge's Sky Tower appears on its Architectural Plans on the City's site as below.
That "Top of Slab Mech Roof" is 383.7 metres. That's above sea level. It shouldn't technically say Slab Mech Roof though, it should say Screen, which the actual mechanical roof slab sits below by a few metres. Anyway, take away ground level of 76.8 metres and you get 306.9 metres to the top of the screen. So, that's 1.7 metres shorter than The One.
Thing is though that there's a tuned mass damper on the roof of this tower too, and we we can see it's 5.5 metres high, but we don't know exactly how far it sits above the screen… but using a ruler to compare heights on this not-legal-document, it appears that 2 metres of the TMD's 5.5 metre height are sticking out above the screen. That would make the height 308.9 metres, or basically 1 foot taller than The One.
However, when I approached Pinnacle's PR people about their claim today, they said that this tower is 313.4 metres tall. I have asked for documents to back up that claim. We shall see what we get, and I'll wait to make a change to the database file and the thread title until they've gotten back to us.

Does anyone notice the golden trim? Is it due to the sunset?

I like the new renderings, they look real sleek. Do we know if they will have any external lighting a-la Aura or the new CIBC tower?

~20% sold according to Urbanation, and that's likely at least slightly dated. Has this even gone to public sale yet, or are we in one of those VIP/VVIP/VVVVVVVIP periods?

I dont k ow about sales but pinnacle is doing some hardcore marketing and advertisements. I've seen multiple articles since yesterday about this tower claiming to be the "tallest res building" and some ads too

Pinnacle got back to me. Their claim is based on maximum allowable building envelops, and is not based on the actual architectural plans.
They're just adding those together, even though some elements are nested in others, and we do not count BMUs in total height. So, this is pure loopiness, and I've told them that we will need actual architectural plans before we accept a new height. I even sent them the graphic that I provided above. Until such time as we get something credible, the claim is suspicious and the database file stays the same, and the thread title is not changing.

It's like me saying I'm 6'8" because in theory I could spike my hair up real tall ?

Was just thinking about this!
I think (correct me if I am wrong) Pinnacle One has a good claim for highest livable or usable floor.

The graffiti on the fence is gone from the Jan 30th post #3100 and before cc46 post of Feb 6. No more editing or cropping required.
Thanks Pinnacle!

That would be awesome, but I doubt that it will look that nice....
