wow.. Additional this super tall building Mississauga now can proclaim Metropolitan city

To be fair, this isn't really a supertall. Rather though, something impressively tall where for some of us in the downtown Six who still view Mississauga as a suburb...

(Yep, I've gone and said it now. )

It takes a lot more than a 260 m building to become a metropolitan city. Anyways, Mississauga is getting there quickly.

2.5 out of 3 sides of the perimeter have been shored. I think the west side is not being drilled/shored.

I believe that a supertall building starts at a height of 304.8 metres or 1000 feet. And ends at a height before 606.6 metres or 2000 feet . But this is building will become the tallest skyscraper in Toronto's 905 region at this point so far !

If you're American. Liberian, or from Myanmar. For the rest of the planet a super tall is 300m.

Exactly - the generally accepted building height standard comes from the CTBUH which defines a supertall as such:

I believe this machine is for drilling tie-backs in the rock to help prevent landslides of the exterior excavation walls.

Ya that
I knew what it does but I am not familiar with all the technical terms and whether the machine had a specific name.

This afternoon. Drilling/shoring is done.

 

[khaldoon]

Kinda late for groundbreaking ceremony but it has to be done

I spy the Mayor in the middle.

From the Mayor on Twitter: We're working to build a livable, walkable urban downtown #Mississauga. Once complete, the #MCity community will define the western edge of downtown. Pleased to join the team as they celebrated this important milestone by breaking ground on M3.

Maybe they can start by giving Burnhamthorpe a road diet.
