Im About to loose my view of the CN tower from my balcony

anyone knows how many floors to go? it‘s at the same height as the cinema tower condos, now. I think there’s about 14m to go.

I think there are 4 or 5 more to go, and as that building is a little closer to you than Cinema Tower, its extra 15 metres will have a little more impact than they would have had the building been further away. Mechanical Penthouses are always taller than normal floors too… to top it all off.

You can install a large screen in your balcony and display the live tower view from this page - https://www.cntower.ca/live-views

I feel like the tower would have looked better in a warmer beige/bronze cladding, that would have matched the expressionist brickwork at the podium, but I do appreciate that the grey materials on the tower look a lot better than the typical back painted spandrel.

I think it would have been better with the brick on the podium ending about 5 floors lower, to be more deferential to the older heritage brick building next door.
I think that the brick podium being at the same height overpowers the heritage building.
