I'm curious why the roof slab is so much thicker than what's shown in the cross section in the plans.
The plans
Vs actual:
Granted the tuned mass damper is heavy, but wouldn't this thicker slab be shown in the plans?

I don't think it actually is thicker, I looks like its just the little "wall" circled below that makes it look thicker than it actually is, you can kinda see the outline of the slab in the pics as well.

You can see the concrete wall in @kotsy’s photo.
The drawing looks like a 1.83m curtain wall vs a possibly shorter concrete wall but the principal is the same.

Wow, from that vantage, Hollywood will be able to shoot movies set in NYC without having to remove the CN Tower LOL

I haven't been following the film industry much anymore. Does Toronto still have a substantial film industry? I remember the '90s, when it was "Hollywood North".

It’s so massive it dwarfs everything else around it. Looking foward to some tall neighbours to keep it company and balance the skyline around it

I remember it being reffered to as such in the '70s, and it is still in the top five cities in the world for film production.

Anyone still hoping for a miracle to happen and Pinnacle decides to cover the mechanical box? It’s such a crime to have the tallest building in Canada expose such a massive mechanical box while the shorter phase 1 had its mechanical box mostly covered.
