At this pace the building should be fully clad by the fall.
Forms were raised this morning. - the core has not topped out!!
BA - 1 million sq feet
SP - 2.1 million sq feet
FCP - 2.8 million sq feet
Scotiaplaza and FCP are in another league, no other buildings will ever be built that big again, at least not in Toronto. Hong Kong, sure they will build something that big every year, maybe twice. Toronto, no way!
For Comparison:
FCP
Floors: 72
Rentable area: 2,049,027 SF
Typical floor plate: 30,633 SF
Scotia Plaza
Floors: 68
Rentable area: 1,467,666 SF
Typical floor plate: 22,165 SF
Bay-Wellington Tower
Floors: 47
Rentable area: 1,298,815 SF
Typical floor plate: 25,800 SF
TD Bank Tower
Floors: 56
Rentable area: 1,270,480 SF
Typical floor plate: 26,500 SF
Bay-Adelaide West
Floors: 50
Rentable area: ~1,200,000 SF
Typical floor plate: >25,500 SF
Commerce Court West
Floors: 57
Rentable area: 1,168,191 SF
Typical floor plate: 24,000 SF
Canada Trust Tower
Floors: 53
Rentable area: 1,126,518 SF
Typical floor plate: 23,000 SF
Royal Trust Tower
Floors: 46
Rentable area: 979,878 SF
Typical floor plate: 23,000 SF
Royal Bank South
Floors: 40
Rentable area: 853,870 SF
Typical floor plate: 24,000 SF
So Bay-Adelaide West is very comparable to the major MINT towers, other than FCP which is a step larger.
BA is not that small, and SP and FCP are not that large. Here are the numbers I posted in September of last year, before the height increase was announced:
BA - 1 million sq feet
SP - 2.1 million sq feet
FCP - 2.8 million sq feet
Scotiaplaza and FCP are in another league, no other buildings will ever be built that big again, at least not in Toronto. Hong Kong, sure they will build something that big every year, maybe twice. Toronto, no way!
To say we'll never have buildings that large in Toronto ever again is a ridiculous thing to say.
Maybe right now we won't, but in 5 years who knows what will be going on in this city.

hopefully we'll see aleast 2 more form raises on the core before the concrete tops out.. the form raise from yesterday was only partial. - The forms on the north and south sides have yet to be raised.

Why do you say that? Trump went on sale at 70 stories, 988 feet (1064 for the spire).
