Here are a few photos I took of Pinnacle One Yonge this afternoon:

Based on how the interior of Tim Hortons appears in the following photo, it looks ready to open soon:

Really want them to get the cladding on the curved arches to finish off the lower portion but I'm impatient this thing looks absolutely wicked

I wish that the Tahinis sign wasn't so rectangular (next to the curve of the canopy)
It should also be dropped own a bit to line up with the Tim Horton's sign.

Maybe they think they could be susceptible to damage during construction since they stick out?

This one is turning out to be more impressive than I thought. Can't wait to see it completed.

Can't wait for the spring to get another one at this angle with the park being done and it being probably at least 20 floors taller than prestige by then

Photoshopped @steveve 's model of the Skytower onto a photo I took of the Toronto Skyline this past summer from the Islands. I didn't do any calculations or anything, just estimated the height based on the CN tower so don't take it as being accurate

This a big step towards Chicago that our skyline needs

This a big step towards Chicago that our skyline needs

Three or four more towers in the 350m-450m range will do the trick.

Love Toronto and Love Chicago, but I guess I don't really see the similarities building-wise or think we're moving that way.

Chicago's iconic towers are nearly all office towers. We have a few semi-iconic office towers, but all the new tall stuff going up is pretty generic condos not big handsome office towers.

If anything our office icons are getting surrounded and crowded out by tall yet otherwise non-descript condos.

The skyline from 20 years ago shot from the island looked much more defined and Chicago-like, what with all the main bank towers still visible and the Royal York.

Now it's like the colourful flowers have been surrounded by leafy weeds. The garden overall has more volume and more height, but the good stuff is all hidden by the boring stuff.

That said, it's all in the eye of the beholder, and some might find Ice Condos or CityPlace to be as iconic as FCP or TD Towers. Who's to say.

The One definitely is a handsome building similar to the office towers of chicago. If only that was by the waterfront so our skyline pics were a little rosier
