Would be cool if the RCS actually went all the way to the top of the crown looks like they are working on the 81st floor for cladding

I think I speak for most of us when I say that would suck because it makes it more difficult to see what they're doing

Yeah but would make working conditions easier as the RCS would block the wind which I imagine is pretty high at those altitudes I think pretty much all that is left is cladding and once the RCS comes down I can foresee the crane being disassembled within the next 2 months as well

^Nice. As for the exterior design, generally beautiful and striking (much more so that One Bloor, imo), but the tapering is too pronounced. The building becomes far too broad towards the bottom, and then there's this interesting diagonal overhang at the base. I tend towards loving 270 Park Ave. in the main, but it is uncomplimentarily shaped like a Christmas tree. Its most obvious analogue is the Sears Tower.

Perhaps more so 875 North Michigan Ave, with the taper and the cross bracing. Too bad 270 Park Ave didn't end up with twin antennas.

This and Pinnacle One Yonge are going to have a sort of John Hancock - Sears Tower effect on our skyline, with Concord Sky eventually playing the Tr*mp Tower part.

Are those machines locked in there with the Tuned Mass Damper forever? Or will they break them down to get them out?

If you look to the front left there is a portion that the roof is not complete I believe this is for hoisting them out

^Still a bevy of bodacious buildings left in the pipeline.

Yes, Toronto has Tons of Tall Towers, with more to come...
