I don’t know. I like the fact that it has a crown - some variation finishing off the top. But each to their own I guess. Agree with those that wanted this taller though. Would have looked fantastic and given that it’s fully rented they surely would’ve filled it too.

Skycandy’s pictures really starting to show how the diamond facets will catch the light differently. Looking forward to the first sunset shots once the glass is higher.

I know right - it’s like they’re not really trying! ;) I have no idea by the way - but was the Pinnacle all confirmed when this began? It may be it was money that didn’t need to be spent.

Mini lesson on glass :) Colour of glass comes from the properties of the glass itself and the environmental coating applied to it. Cheap glass is green (look at all the condos around here) even without coating unless you strip the iron content from the glass, at which point you can get it...

I see they've gone with diamonds again then... ;)

Am liking that typo :)

Or for the amount of ramp to achieve the change in level to get up to the Gardiner, and presumably only the westbound side at that. But apart from aaaaallll that.....

Why on earth would you want buses pulling out on to the Gardiner instead of Lake Shore?

Surely you meant "There was another concrete pour today" Come on people. Let's keep it grammatically tight here! ;)

Some sympathy, but really not very much. It can't be fun to have this big a construction project next door for years... Hines appear to have played it pretty straight with their information releases, but there's no sugar coating that pill. The irony though of choosing to live in tall building...

Those are beautiful pictures Kotsy - really special! ?

Please everyone keep your eyes on the road! No prize for first one to see glass, if they subsequently wipe out on the Gardiner... :eek:;)

Here's hoping...

That diagram looks pretty good. Minor comment is that the steel and concrete in the far bottom left is also built - up against the rail tracks. Ready to receive the bridge. :)

Been a while since a jump hasn't it?

Some of it is set aside for a future eastern extension of the Path network.... probably good old fashioned storage in the meantime.

If you look closely, those clips are at the same height as the rusty bits of steel connecting them. I'd say they are forming the edge of where the concrete floors will get poured on the metal decking, so leaving little notches for the curtain wall brackets at the perimeter to fit in afterwards -...

I suspect too that the higher wall will return south in line with the boundary line, forming the podium base. Looks like a lower wall will continue east, but probably only a few metres high. If you look at Interchange's 3rd photo, you can see the reinforcement bar sticking out of the higher wall...

It may not look it, but most office cores are around 15% - 20% of the total floor area. On a taller building, the range is greater, from about 25% of the floor area at low level due to the elevators passing through, to again about 15% or maybe slightly less at the higher levels. Eyeballing it...

There's an element of that. They certainly worry less than the west perhaps... but be under no illusions, there are business cases behind what's going on in Dubai, as well as hubris. They need a source of revenue when the oil has run out so the good times don't have to end. The oil is very...
