It will be about the same height as the L Tower also.

Whoever has the penthouse suite in that slim building on the north side of King there is really fortunate. It's just a great, tucked-in, urban pad. I will never, without exception, be able to afford something like that.

Edit: maybe I should have said, if I could afford something luxurious like that, I'm not sure I would go for it. With wealth comes responsibility, kids.

I think you are thinking of 8 Colbourne which is the Cosmopolitan Hotel Toronto.

Interesting. Never even heard of it, thanks for the update. And it's somewhat surprising a hotel has an outdoor patio that high. Often there are concerns about legal liabilities etc.

It's a condo hotel. Not all units are operated as hotel suites either.

If it's One King, they've converted it to office space.

One King is on SOUTH side of King but in any case this thread is supposedly on 88 Scott!

No argument there. Trying to offer an alternative to Miscreant re 8 Colbourne suggestion since it's not even on King.

The photo clearly shows that @Miscreant is seeing the Cosmopolitan on Colborne, but misidentifying its location, that's all.

It is a hotel, with apartments on top. The penthouses were listed on MLS for a long time. The Designer Guys (not Steven & Chris, the b-list ones that followed them) tarted up one of them a few years ago.

Some lowest balcony glass going in on three different corners.

It is, but you don't need to use an over-saturated image to try and make your point.

I appreciate the various photographic styles used around here and am glad that it isn't homogenous.

Maybe he was making a point with the contrast. Maybe he just thought that level of contrast suited that image. Personally, I find it the colour in that shot way too cool, but that's me and I wouldn't suggest he should warm up his photos to please me.
