I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to sport a lil grin when I read about the occasional large loss of virulent capitalists hoping to make big profits by doing exactly nothing other than moving digits around. I do, however, enjoy watching this building go up.

.... like wouldn't it be funny if Pinnacle bought this project and now built the two tallest buildings in Toronto?

I'd vote for CentreCourt in a J-V with Pinnacle's deep pocket$.

The 91st storey penthouse would be poured on Friday December 22, 2024 at 4:12pm.

Centrecourt builds at the low end of the market. This wouldn't fit them.

That's so crazy. If I were an investor and you told me that the opportunity was the highest skyscraper in Canada with a projected height of 91 stories, the developer was Mizarahi, the architect was Foster & Partners and the main ground floor retail tenant was going to be Apple. I'd be like "Take my Money!!!"

What seemed like a can't loose investment has turned into a can't win investment.

This seemed like a can't win.

1. Mizrahi has never built a skyscraper.
2. The local architect is Core who hasn't built any supertalls
3. Local trades have never built anything like this before.
4.. The capital is overseas capital.
5. The intersection is exceptionally challenging for material delivery

Does any one recall a messy change of ownership that resulted in stalling the groundbreaking of One Bloor East? Or am I hallucinating again?

I just got back from vacation and the tower looks like it's grown some. There doesn't appear to be any activity at the top but the crane is growing taller, even though the protesters are blocking the Yonge/Bloor intersection.

Also, do they have a residence floor already poured above the mechanical

Yes. The mechanical section is 37, 38 floors. They have already poured floors 39 and 40 and are forming the 41st floor.

Today the site is still active with work on increasing the height of the crane.

So will the trades all lose on this? That's the big question. Could really hurt a lot of companies which would be very unfortunate.
