T-Rex's are young... when I grew up the Earth was molten and the Moon hadn't even formed yet...

Oh yeah? I remember being blown into town by the Big Bang. The Pemberton and the Eglinton Crosstown were just getting under way at the time.

This post wins the internet much like Pemberton wins the slowest underground construction in history

I see that B1M used one of my photos as well as BloorMan's and Johnny Au's. My shot - not sure if there any others they used - is up for all of 10 frames, so I'm not that concerned about its usage. But isn't that your shot, BloorMan, used for the thumbnail? It's neat to see our photos there, on a video that now has more that 600,000 views!

Yup, it sure looks like my photo for the thumbnail. I feel famous

When will we know what the final height for this will be? I would think that has to be finalized very soon for engineering/constructions reasons?

They are currently starting the final mechanical "inset" section, spanning floors 78 and 79. Although these mechanical sections take a little longer than residential levels to pour, after that, there are 6 more residential levels to pour before reaching the top of the 85-storey plan:

Here is the detail from the architectural plans.

308m tall version is kinda sad coz the 300m mark is only achieved within the Tuned Mass Damper room. The roof of the highest habitable floor is 292m with the winter garden taking it up to 295m but the winter garden is more like a terrace for the penthouse suites:

For the taller version I only have the tallest 338m architectural plans saved. But for the 328m it will be the same floor where the building passes the 300m mark. Level 88 is where the building crosses the 300m mark with Level 88 roof being at 302.75m high:

The 328m tall version will simply be cut at Level 91 with the TMD right above it. Apologies for not showing the actual 328m tall version of the building.

If I had to guess, it would be around February 2025 when we reach the 85th floor, at which point we shall see if they pour the additional floors. Anyways, here is a photo of the One I took this morning:

I believe that skyscraper plan near Yonge and Finch was only a concept or vision, rather than a serious proposal.

Here is The One today from Yonge and Queens Quay:
