It looks better in subdued lighting - like me, after a particularly harrowing day.

I stated a couple weeks back that five additional floors were being added. The currently planned height is 70 floors.

I know, I read that but has it been made official? I received an email a few days ago (same one Marcanadian received) and it doesn’t mention increased height (no change to the rendering either)and when I called the listed phone number the people who answer are also not aware of any height change. I was wondering if anyone has seen anything official about it now being 70 stories?

So if this is true then 1Bloor would be in the 234 m range making it the 8th tallest building in the city. Very nice - but still a few metres short of Aura.

Terrific news guys:.D! 70 stories is fantastic! That puts it 2nd for the building with the most floors in Canada! It's really interesting where the final height will stand with the extra 5 floors. Could we be seeing this tower be as tall/if not taller than aura?

There's no mention of below ground retail which was originally proposed but never made sense to me since there's no underground connection to the subway or HBC.

Third after Aura and First Canadian Place.

Right! How did I forget aura!
1. Aura 75
2. Fcp 72
3. 1BE 70
It's funny how the original sapphire was 90 at the beginning.... That would have even made 1 bloor look small had it been built!

The 65 storey version is 209 metres tall. Five more floors would add between 15 and 17 metres. It's not even close.

209 metres for 65 storeys seems really short. What are the average ceiling heights here supposed to be? Considering the roof element, I'd expect 65 storeys to be taller than that. At 70 storeys, I'm guessing that with an average 9-10' per floor, the roof element, and the obvious space in between floors (concrete slabs, plumbing/piping/electrical space/etc.) we'd be looking at something like 800 feet.
Where did the 209m come from originally (this is a long thread, sorry), was it an estimate or a figure that was actually released? I know B/A is an office tower, but it's only 51 storeys and it's 218 metres.

Yep. My mistake. It's 219 metres (10 metre mechanical) The height comes from the planner. Still no where near Aura.
It's residential so any plumbing/electrical would be in bulkheads running inside the living space.
