I think they will be removing the scaffolding sitting on Yonge St and moving it closer to the building.

They will likely be rebuilding the sidewalk.

Just watched that segment. Yes, the retail space is impressive! But Sam was pretty cringy when he said 'on a clear day you can see Rochester from the penthouse". Err ... Rochester is across Lake Ontario from Prince Edward County, can you see PEC from Toronto even from the 91st floor???
Why do people even say that - as if being able to see Rochester is something to brag about? Why not just say you can see Niagara Falls (well, the mist from the Falls anyway), which are way more impressive than Rochester?

He's probably thinking of St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. We used to be able to see the Skylon Tower from our balcony on a clear day, until they built Time and Space. We can still see that blocky Brock tower. And it's not quite Rochester, but on a really clear day we can see this, which is half way between Buffalo and Rochester.

And all of this is just from the 16th floor. You should be able to see much more from the 91st!

On a clear day, you can see the taller buildings in Niagara Falls, ON even from ground level, the pier on Centre Island for example. Not sure if that smokestack in New York State is visible from ground level, though - I believe it’s near Youngstown, NY? That’s still pretty far from Rochester.He's probably thinking of St. Catharines and Niagara Falls.

From the top floor, with perfect clarity, one could see the top of the tallest building in Buffalo... barely. You can see Rochester from the height of a mile. So nowhere close.He's probably thinking of St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. We used to be able to see the Skylon Tower from our balcony on a clear day, until they built Time and Space.

I spoke with the reporter at the Star and a source from Skygrid recently. They are building to the original height (85st, 308.6m), I assume for cost control. Now to see who can eclipse First Canadian Place first..

Yeah, you can pretty clearly see stuff at Niagara Falls, Brock Tower, Hamilton etc. even from like 8-10 floors up.He's probably thinking of St. Catharines and Niagara Falls.

On a perfect clear day my drone can see across Lake Ontario to US shoreline at 250m height.
