As suspected by most of us, I think we can safely say that the building is not stopping at floor 62.
I’m glad and looking forward to the next question. Is the tower going to top out at 85 or 91 storeys!! Time to play the waiting game again!

Can I interest you in some gourmet squab?

Squab I’ve had a couple of times (and didn’t much care for it—I prefer fowl that’s less lean), but those were farmed and properly cared for.They are edible cooked up with the right grown herbs though...
Who knows what manner of disease your common winged petri dish carries. I mean geez, I’ve seen one nibbling away a cigarette butt.

Alright, this thread is about The One, not about food.

While this thread definitely is about The One, it's not entirely not about food. I remember a few detailed discussions a couple hundred pages back about various items @Benito ferments. And that's leaving aside everyone's obsession with apples.

If you've eaten squab, you've eaten pigeon. It's a bird, like chicken. Seriously, what's the difference?

Toronto only does balconies at all is because investors buying units off plans think they need them. Very few want to stand on a windy diving board 230m in the air...

I think if you asked a lot of renters, a balcony is pretty high on their wish list. And a balcony is definitely nice to have, if you conceive of it as an "extra". If you think of it as indoor space that you're giving up to instead have a balcony, probably wouldn't be so popular...
Despite the focus of this forum, there aren't that many apartments in Toronto high enough that wind is a big issue on a balcony. I'm not sure how high you have to get, but my last building had a rooftop at 21 floors, and it was usually sort of windy up there, but not to an extent that it was annoying.

Useful, livable outdoor space is reason 57103495390543 Vancouver / Lower Mainland condos are far superior to our own local garbage:

That's a really nice outdoor space, but that apartment would be a whole lot better if it was all inside space! The difference between a 1168 sf apartment and a 1900 sf apartment is the difference between being able to have one kid, or have 2-3 kids.

Very nice! Maybe create a common terrace like these on a number of floors with different orientations and all season window/doors.
I’m sure the top floor of The One tower and the ceiling to floor views will be very popular.
Common outdoor terraces are a much more efficient use of space and great for a community feel but no dogs allowed!
Would this thread have 17,780 posts if there were balconies? I think not. Okay, maybe it would have more complaints.
We enjoy our floor to ceiling windows from our 8760 den. We can see down to street level and beyond without any balcony restrictions and noise. Upper level operable windows provide no outdoor ventilation or dust due to stack effect but they do provide noise if desired.
