The height increase should be contingent on reducing the podium height, there's absolutely no reason for the 3rd phase to have such a monstrously large podium.

Actually now that I mention it, how would one go about making this comment to the city about that in this case?

I wouldn't mind it if they incorporated some setbacks not just a flat wall

Not a fan of this purposed change. A city's tallest building should stand out as much as possible; having nearby neighbors that are close in height would detract from its visual impact and diminish its symbolic prominence.

I would agree if it weren't the same developer and the building looked completely different like for example if prestige was taller it would look dumb but the building being proposed is very similar to the same glass and balcony style as sky Tower so they were almost look like siblings

What is this anonymous indoor amenity space being added? Is it an observation deck, as was announced for SkyTower? If so, why not just say that?

This will be tallest tower (at 25 storeys and 101m) to ever be demolished in Toronto. Oddly enough, the old record-holder was the Toronto Star's previous HQ at King and Bay (22 storeys, 89m) in 1971.

And, if I recall correctly, wasn't it demolished to make way for FCP (the tallest building at the time)?

And, if I recall correctly, wasn't it demolished to make way for FCP (the tallest building at the time)?

yes. FCP took out almost an entire block of the city in the middle of downtown. It was a very destructive project.

O&Y moved the Star from that building at King and Bay into this one to facilitate the original's demolition and FCP's construction.

Forgive me if this is already common knowledge but the fact that the hotel (Le Meridien) is scheduled to open in December 2025. This makes me wonder if some of the condos will be occupied at that time as well?

There's a 0% chance of condo occupation this year.

My unit is on 25th floor. And the occupancy is in June 2026.

Is the observation deck in sky tower going to be publicly accessible?

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

Is the observation deck in sky tower going to be publicly accessible?

Invite only, I thinks. And only by folks on the upper floors to my understanding.

 

[hansboyca]

Invite only, I thinks. And only by folks on the upper floors to my understanding.

So the people at the top, who already enjoy amazing views, are the only ones allowed access to essentially the same views from the observation deck. What kind of crass snobism is this?

Though I am sure it would be fun to get access to the observation lounges, why would owners living in a condo building really want 'strangers' using their building to get there? The hotel portion on the lower floors will undoubtedly be totally separated from the residential as is normal.
