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

A question- in some of the second level plans, there seem to be provisions for a PATH bridge northwards- how exactly are they going to get the bridge under the Gardiner, since the Jarvis St ramp (Ramp 155) is in the way?

On the East Gardiner; they had plans to remove the Bay ON ramp, then add a new OFF ramp down to Yonge and then remove the Jarvis OFF ramp.
 
^Which on a side note, is a plan I hope never sees the light of day because the city is asking for big trouble with that.

That would be nothing but pure chaos with traffic having to funnel around that whole area, with Harbour St being straightened out and heavy traffic volumes being forced to head northbound on Yonge.

It's a deeply flawed plan that would just create a pure mess and even more gridlock.

Let's just demo the stupid thing instead.
 
I blinked and Toronto has 3 supertalls. I’ve been a ghost, following this site since 2012. Always hoping for Toronto to crack 300 meters so the last few months have been incredibly exciting. Now I get to wait probably another 12-20 years before we see 400+ meters. Time will tell. Congratulations Toronto. Your skyline literally blew up & is looking insane. 🫢

are they seriously going to slap a box on top and ruin the roof line?

There is a bit of a debate going on about that one as some of us believe the elevation diagram has the top part of the facade cut off in the picture to show where the top of the mechanical is either way the box needs to be there as it houses the TMD as well as other life support systems for the building Just hoping that the glass raises up enough to block it from most angles I would have actually loved to see the cladding on this come to a point at the top give the building a similar feel to the spire in Russia

I think the diagram was intended to clearly present the levels and mechanical details and doesn't mean that the glass crown portion was dropped.
