Saw the skyscraper today up close and i feel like it's a way bigger *in terms of area* than I thought it would be, or maybe skyscrapers are just too thin now 🤷‍♂️ although I do like the thickness of the tower cuz it would make a bigger impact on the skyline, kinda like M3 in 'Sauga
 
I wonder how the settlement offer for 19 Bloor West would affect The One's future. If they cap it at 85 storeys and 308 m, 19 Bloor would steal the title of the neighbourhood's tallest building (at 317.4m), assuming it's built to maximum height. If they stick to 91 storeys and 328.4m, they'll keep the title (barely), but some potential buyers of west-facing units may not be happy about paying $2000 psf and upwards for the privilege of watching their neighbors' (at 19 Bloor West) daily activities and be stared at in return (or keep the blinds down all the time).

My last apartment had windows around 25 metres from the next building, and it definitely is!

I'm not sure how to look it up again, but I think I once looked up how close the Whitfield windows will be to my current balcony and it's less than 10 metres.

I can beat that. My last apartment's window was 5.5 metres from the neighbouring building.

My neighbour got new curtains when she realized my desk was facing to and right next to the window. 🤣

Same here. I thought I could dash from my bathroom to the kitchen to grab my phone post shower, sans towel… needless to say the neighbour had privacy film up within the day 😅
