Why is the glass green? I don't remember seeing that in the renders at all.

...it's more teal than straight up green, but I see what you mean.
That said, and giving the ProjectEnd-san sage advice here, don't go by what the renders are portraying. Even if they're building exactly what is presented there, the renders are not the best at conveying the detailing accurately such as texture and hue.

2 weeks since my last update on Nov 8 and 2 months into this slab from Sept 22 and they still have more steel work to go.

I’m less worried about the street level now with how good the cladding looks for phase two. Hopefully when this is all finished the podium will come together nicely.
The goal with development of this scale should be to create new public spaces at ground level and that’s something sugar warf phase 1 failed miserably at.

I'm just gonna throw this question out there because I'm curious...
I notice that the thread for The One gets way more activity than this thread, but maybe that is due to all the controversy surrounding it... personally, I am more excited for this one.
Are you guys most excited for the SkyTower or The One?

The controversy adds some traffic to that thread but there are many other factors like having a different skeleton design and construction methods, the rumoured, confirmed then canceled and who knows if it comes back Apple flagship store, etc.
I am definitely more excited about that one because frankly Pinnacle has been building primarily mundane/average condos (I live in one of those).

The One gets more attention for some of the reasons Khaldon mentioned, but I also think it's because it's a little more luxurious and it's further along the construction process, so naturally it's get more attention.

...I mean, other than the pipe organ like rebar being used here, Phase 2 is not offering much in the way of construction novelty like The One is.

The One, when/if completed is going to be a unique and fantastic-looking building. Pinnacle.... won't.

It does look a little green from certain angles, but from other angles it's mostly the colour of whatever is reflected in it, which does include some existing green buildings. It has more of a blue/silver look when reflecting the sky.

There are gas heaters inside the tarped floor, they are setup when there is a possibility of snow/ice/frost and must be turned on before there is any buildup (especially on a slab this size) otherwise the snow/ice will never melt as there will be an insulating layer.
Concrete needs 10°+C to cure so heating the deck underneath will certainly help, as well as using a winter mix.

Just a quick update that happened a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen on here yet. The Toronto East York Community Council passed the height adjustments, so now the only step until FINAL approval is the City Council meeting on Dec. 13. Given that it passed easily in TEYCC,, the Dec. 13 vote is likely a rubber stamp, I think.

I would think the ground in the area is pretty water saturated. I hope they did their homework on the bearing capacity of the soil.

The bottom floor of parking was dug out of the shale bedrock.
Bedrock is deep in Yorkville.
