Well, this one still has two mechanical sections to go. How many transfer slabs or mechanical sections does the Skytower will have after the current one?

I believe that there are still three larger slabs that have to be prepped as sky Tower goes up to tie back into the older core. We are on floor 45. I think it is someone. Correct me if I'm wrong doing one floor every 5 days so I believe it will be tight but we will see this building popped out before skytower

"Gaze upon its splendor".
Hahah. It's just a tall beige building in a very stabby part of Toronto. It's not the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Have you looked at some of the architecture/buildings in this city??? Compared to most of the other buildings, it is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

No, but with spandrel'd mediocrity that adorns most of our city, this might as well be the Hanging Gardens of Babylon when all is said and done. But I think you probably know that already.

I like Yonge and Bloor, but it’s not Yorkville.

Yonge & Bloor is, and probably will always be, Canada's most well-known intersection.

That is a stunning image, regardless of the fact it was taken around 5pm

Off-topically: I call those Floydian sunsets. As I always hear tracks from a certain band playing in the background that should be experienced on a colourful party favour when I ever see such sets...

Sorry, I think Y&B is an important intersection for Torontonians, but does anyone who has not lived in Toronto really know it?
I would be hard-pressed to name an actual intersection in Montreal, and I've been many times - and I can name plenty of important streets there. I don't think non-Torontonians would be able to name Y&B.
And if you Google the question, Portage and Main (which I do know about, even though I've never visited Winnipeg) is named as Canada's most famous intersection.
