100% agree on both points lol
As I said earlier I think the 85 story looks better overall on the skyline, but now pinnacle one younge is gonna stick out even more

Still at 85 floors an impressive structure, particularly considering it's not in the true downtown core...

As a purchaser, I am glad it is Tridel. I had some leaked info on this I shared a number of pages back. Glad to hear that some on here think Tridel is good at the interiors. We still have heard nothing about whether or not they are going to honour our contracts?

The height chop is worsened by the fact the aesthetics of the crown are a lot more awkward and the night lighting has been value engineered away.
Ive lost interest in following this as closely.
Had we kept the night lighting it wouldnt be such a massive dissapointment.

...assuming the lighting isn't already imbedded into the diagrids, the decision not to include this was likely made under Mizrahi's tenure before the financing poop hit the fan.

Not lighting this building up is a huge disappointment. I mean it would look incredible to highlight the top quality materials and really make the tower stand out. Between the height loss and no lighting? Such a shame.

I think we are jumping the gun regarding the final floor count.
The Sixth Report of the Receiver describes the item as "an 85 storey building" — and the zoning application (submitted last August) is for 86 floors, and it was an amendment from the previous 85 floor application. This new amendment was made to reflect changes to the floor plans/units and other alterations. A 91 floor zoning submission was never filed by the previous or current developer. In actuality, the project is adding an additional level — from 85 to 86.
The application may be amended at some point further toward the end of construction. However, as of now, Tridel has a mandate to complete the project as quickly, efficiently, and value-engineeringly as possible.
When/if a new owner takes receipt of the building from the Receiver/Trustee, the owner may choose to amend the current application to 91 floors. But as of now, the goal and intention is to complete the building while attempting to find a buyer before the estimated late-2027 completion date.
It really makes sense. Additional levels would only serve to raise the current $1.2 billion minimum bid sought by the creditors.

I agree any purchaser would not settle on 85 and I think would pursue higher than 91 storeys. The problem is this project is a disaster. Those that could afford it typically don't have the brass balls like Mizrahi and the market recovery in 2025 is speculation.
