That's like saying 2 story house is taller on top of a hill than the same house at a bottom of a valley. That is, the observational height will change, but the building does not in fact get taller.
It would be apparently taller in the skyline, when say viewed from the west.
Yes...I understand that. I'm curious which building would be a technically higher peak in the city. Mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain, it's just the tallest peak, and people put value in that.
Amazing that walking up from the lake to Yonge & Bloor is like going from ground floor to the 12th floor of a typical Toronto residential tower. It's hardly noticeable, except when you're cycling.
I think we can all agree that The One will still overlook Pinnacle One here.

Yeah, I've always valued the idea of ancient Lake Iroquois lapping upon the hills of Sunnybrook and toward what's now around the DVP, down to the lake. And of course, down to Davenport/Dupont to the west. It's difficult to visualize, but it's an interesting way to humble oneself in light of the power of mother nature over thousands of years.Topographic maps are pretty neat. I like the pretty evident shores of what was called Lake Iroquois around St Clair, when the water level was much higher.
Toronto topographic map, elevation, terrain
Average elevation: 113 m • Toronto, Golden Horseshoe, Ontario, M6K 1X9, Canada • Despite its deep ravines, Toronto is not remarkably hilly, but its elevation does increase steadily away from the lake. Elevation differences range from 76.5 metres (251 ft) above sea level at the Lake Ontario shore...
You can say that The One will be higher than Sky Tower, but calling The One taller will be factually incorrect.
That podium is a beast from this angle... almost Canada House
