The crowns other cities get on their showcase tallest:

...and we can't get 2 more metres of glass to block an ugly mechanical box.

^Those Melbourne examples, both bordering on schlock imo, are not compelling for the argument, but maybe Pinnacle can cobble together a few shekels to erect something to conceal the mech.

You can debate the design but at the very least they're distinctive and not Cheapened.

If my math is correct... (while many aren't active), UrbanToronto has around 50,000 registered members.

If just .5% (250 members) signed on to a communication to Pinnacle (cc to HPA, Planning, Spacing, Globe & Mail etc.) ... it should at least get noticed.

Will it do any good? Of course not. Might feel good to speak up outside these pages though.

"Bridging the Design Gap" exhausted me so I won't lead the charge on this

I will suggest to Pinnacle, “Do not ask Menkes, Daniels or First Canadian Place for advice on the penthouse re-design”.

Math correction: AI says UT has over 50,000 registered users, but UT itself says 30,000 ... (150 sigs is .5% - still ok). Thanks AI.

Some soccer fans but they are some of the national flags of the workers.

The Canadian and Portuguese flags on the TMD maybe the highest flags in the GTA.

Not a big fan of these Melbourne tops, trying too hard in my opinion. Will to age well.

I really do like the rest of this tower. The shapes are nice, the details look good, the glass looks good. What an own-goal in the dying seconds up at the crown.

I know you’re joking but… I would seriously sign that if someone made it. Does anyone know anybody higher up in Urban Toronto? Cause maybe they could post the signature as an article? Or… maybe Urban Toronto wouldn’t want to offend pinnacle…
