Looks like it’s the exact same height as presitge!
It's taller by a tad bit nowLooks like it’s the exact same height as presitge!
(The crown that is)
I sometimes wonder why the One seems to have so much more complications. They have several mechanical floors to create wind passage (and whatever mechanical things) and the giant pendulum on its crown to stabilize the building. Sky Tower doesn't have any of these designs while being taller.Working on 68 - 3.6m part mech level as of Monday. It will be a close race to 300m with One Bloor West. Wow, who would have thought?
This morning

Edit. Added
300m + ground at 77m = in level 97.
29 more floors pushes that into November.
One Bloor W is expected to complete level 85 292m by September and top out at 308m/ finish structure in November.

It is claimed that The One is the stronger of the two for its hybrid exoskeleton mechanics and layout. And was designed to go much higher than it is currently planned to my understanding. So I would say that its scaled back height was a missed opportunity in its engineering, as opposed to being over-engineered. And for what that's worth.I sometimes wonder why the One seems to have so much more complications.

Is it because of the shape, where Sky Tower's shape is better at mitigate wind? Or is the One just an over-engineered building?
Also the one has a three-story open ground floor as well as a far more condensed site a good example is there are multiple times we have seen sky tower being poured overnight whereas the one is only operating during work hoursIt is claimed that The One is the stronger of the two for its hybrid exoskeleton mechanics and layout.
