Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

I had forgotten it wasn’t gonna undergo just a renovation like the renderings here show. Is the updated proposal to build another super tall condo?

New plan is for a tall building, yes. Won't be a condo in this environment though.

^I was hoping they would wait till the market has improved before doing anything there. Unless they're going full on rental.

It's plausible and would be the only viable thing nowadays, but that is a ton of units to bring online at one time. Huge financial requirements and absorption risk there right away.

Oh I didn't know we were tearing down the Toronto Star building - have any renders been released or will they rebuild in the same fashion as the current renders for that area?

This will be tallest tower (at 25 storeys and 101m) to ever be demolished in Toronto. Oddly enough, the old record-holder was the Toronto Star's previous HQ at King and Bay (22 storeys, 89m) in 1971.

I don't think this has been posted yet - a variance is in for Phase 3 to increase the height to 320.35m / 97 storeys:

Once again, I'm so glad this is all being built away from Jesse Ketchum... <3

It's going to shadow the new school in Sugar Wharf, but the kids at that school don't live in the Annex/Yorkville.

Once again one young and pinnacle decide to push the envelope still going to laugh if they suddenly decide they want to make the third building taller than sky Tower shoot their own marketing team in the foot

The site for Pinnacle One Yonge is seeking a height boost for its third phase. Raising the third towers height from a currently approved 309 metres to 320 metres. https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/0...nnacle-one-yonges-supertall-third-tower.59099

I hope that they don't make the new one such that the TMD is sticking out at the top with this like they did with the tallest building.

That still isn't actually confirmed and there's a little bit of debate between everybody whether they actually are going to cover it I think looking at the rendering as opposed to the architectural that there is a cut out to show the top of the tuned last damper and that the facade raises to shield it like you see on prestige

 

[Amare]

The height increase should be contingent on reducing the podium height, there's absolutely no reason for the 3rd phase to have such a monstrously large podium.

Actually now that I mention it, how would one go about making this comment to the city about that in this case?

I wouldn't mind it if they incorporated some setbacks not just a flat wall

 

[SkylineHorizons]

Not a fan of this purposed change. A city's tallest building should stand out as much as possible; having nearby neighbors that are close in height would detract from its visual impact and diminish its symbolic prominence.
