Is this Toronto's first Mass Tuned Damper, or are there other such installations? 🤔
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but, aside from the CN tower, I’m pretty sure M3 at M city beat this as the first skyscraper with a Tuned Mass Damper in the GTA

So there’s only one completed TMD right now, and this one will be the next. And also I’m also pretty sure pinnacle one Yonge will be the third skyscraper to have one installed.

Actually I'm pretty sure M1 and M2 both have TMD'S

There are a number of them now. Can't remember them all. One Bloor East has one. Pretty sure it's the slosh tank type. IIRC the Massey Tower has one. There are others.

it's crazy how modern skyscrapers can stay so solid even at 70–80 floors up with strong winds. the engineering and construction tech these days just keeps getting better and better, makes you appreciate all the work that goes into keeping them standing.
Yea, and not every country is able to build like that because of the complexity. Check out 1000 museum tower in Miami, it’s a modern engineering miracle.
 
I always enjoyed my guests' alarmed reaction when they saw my vertical blinds sway back and forth, on the 50th floor at ROCP I.
