Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

[3Dementia]

Absolutely absurd that a project of this magnitude (with decent architecture and materials) would not extend the crown glass to hide a tuned mass damper and other mech barnacles. I know render-promises are often broken... but the top of that elevation looks nothing like this... looks like it was lopped off with a samurai sword:

UT

If they are too cheap to extend the glass crown, the absolute minimum they should do is design (maybe even with a tiny bit of architectural expression?) some kind of vertical enclosure to obscure that mess atop Canada's tallest (forever?) skyscraper...

I'll send Pinnacle and HPA a couple of World Series collectables for inspiration.

I think that the elevation drawing might leave the glass facade off in order to show where the height of the mechanical penthouse is as technically the roof of it would be the final building height

Looks like they've added height to the TMD and slightly shortened the crown. First image is from 2024 documents, second from the revisions.

Well they're basically going to make a decision on whether they want this to be the nicest looking building in Toronto or the biggest black sheep on the waterfront because if it is visible from a distance it will ruin the entire look of the building

Not sure how you could ever stretch that far when Q Tower is also coming a little west of here.

Are they really planning on sticking that offset chicken coop on top of the tower like that? I get that the residents want fresh eggs...but that St. Lawrence isn't that far away from there.. >.<

Damn, same exact thing was done to Toronto House and I remember being a bit disappointed initially. Still wish that top bit wasn't visible. Seems pretty obvious to hide it IMO.

Guys relax, the mechanical box will be almost entirely covered. Even from afar away you will probably not see it at all. These drawings show one fully enclosed and one exposed just to illustrate its presence it the project.

Working on 68 - 3.6m part mech level as of Monday. It will be a close race to 300m with One Bloor West. Wow, who would have thought?

Bruv, I've litterally been saying this for months

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

Oh....that I did not know. Fresh eggs from upstairs it is then as I sit corrected..

 

[Koops65]

OK, we have an estimated completion date, from the developer, for The One now. Mid November. What is the estimated completion date of Sky Tower? You really think 35 floors plus interior fit-out will be done in 6 months?

It won't reach 300 meters before the One, today they are pouring the columns for the 83rd floor which is at 285.575 meters , by the end of May at the latest the columns will pass the 300 meters.

 

[thaivic]

Peeking through.
