Great shot! Prestige looks puny next to the bank towers, a perspective that's often lost from the island/Polson Pier shots because it's closer to the lake. A preview of things to come, when it will be dwarfed by Phase 2&3 towers.
Thank you! ☺️ And agreed - it took me a seconds to notice it at first from that angle/height - like you said I'm also so used to seeing it dominate skyline shots from other angles but it'll be exciting to see it next to pinnacle - and phase 2 of sugar wharf as well

Here's a new render I have found from a website named storeys.com. I didn't have the chance to comment about the new outstanding height it will have because I am too busy, but I want to say that I am thrilled and happy that we will have such a tall building in Canada. Skytower does not have the best design of all time, but I accept it.

If I were Pinnacle, I would have thrown money out of my pocket to improve the design and create a Gem in the Toronto skyline, so in the future when people look at and ask who built this, they would know that freaken Pinnacle built this gem. Instead, they only created Carbon with this design, not a diamond. No one will care. Pinnacle lost a major opportunity here, and so did Toronto.

You don't think the current design will still make it one of the more unique buildings on the Toronto skyline?

It's unique because it will be so tall. If this was anything around 250 metres or under it would start to blend in with everything else that's being put up there. So it's not really offering anything startling or distinct from that perspective, IMO.
