Though I prefer the previous 'artist's impression' of this project (especially the upcoming Phase 3/final tower), it's a good picture of the construction and nearby neighbourhood.

I'd prefer it if Pinnacle went for some desperately needed T-dot vanity height
for SkyTower... and paid homage to the Big Apple (ESB)... from the little apple.Eat this One World Trade Center (with your pathetic Canadian-built donut and antenna).

When you consider what we got though:
5 elevators for 798 units in that pile too. Yeesh...

I still prefer what we got! This city needed more USB ports, I can never find a free one to charge my airpods

I think one of our longtime forum members lives in that building. He would probably know how long the elevator waits are!

There were many iterations of Sapphire Tower - the tallest version was 342m. So Sky Tower is actually going to be taller than Harry Stinson's pipe dream.FYI: And since it's been brought up here...

the lighting on the above mentioned USB ports drive me crazy as they are never properly lit. Abstract lighting like on Aura to me looks fine if a section is out, it's not as obvious. But when the "USB" ports are not functioning my OCD really kicks in.

The One, I believe. I think that's how they came to 91 stories...
