Great job steveve, this does look like a Redroom creation (and that's a huge compliment!)

INCREDIBLE / AMAZING / INSANE shot Cal!!!!!!!!!!

I've never seen Ritz THAT tall from that angle!!!!!... Man... The cladding is moving SOOO high up and the Ritz is looking real skinny + tall now!!!!

Look at all those floors!!!!!!

Nice work Caltrane!

The front of this building is decent but the back is a mess.

I like the skybar/skylobby/skywhateverthehek

As my boy steveve would say, it's EPIC!!

November 7 Pictures

I got a bit carried away and took a lot of pictures today, but it was just so hard to stop!

First, my standard view of the west side. There seems to be great debate on the floorcount. I can read the construction elevator labels clearly with binoculars from the comfort of my home, so I can assure everyone that according to those labels, the uppermost pillars that don't yet have a roof are for the 50th floor.

And now for something completely different, here are some shots from inside the atrium of the CBC building. Hopeful this view of the Ritz will give Peter Mansbridge some comfort as he mourns the loss of his chair:

From the Ice parking lot. Simcoe Place and the Intercontinental used to look so isolated and lonely. RBC and the Ritz really liven it up and make for a nice cluster of towers:

Are they not cladding the top of the sun roof thing?

I can see why you couldn't stop, you were on a roll man. Sensational photos MatrixElement!
We're so lucky on UT to have so many dedicated contributors with a great eye to capturing our growing city and with such impressive photographic talent.

Thank you for confirming the current floor count for once and for all.

superb pix! this thing is getting seriously tall now.

 

[steveve]

Like Caltrane said I would say..

EVERYONES SHOTS ARE EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was never fond of the back portion of the Ritz aside from the skylobby part of it.....

The slant is EXTREMELY noticible now... and it continues to grow

 

[steveve]

Thanks for the photos guys....

And thanks Matrix for clearing that up about the floor count...

BTW... Construction seems to be at a standstill since Friday... They haven't made any real progress (in terms of pouring the floor) and it's unusual for the Ritz cause they usually pour a floor every 5 days or so....

hmmmmm.....
