The one tower which belongs to this group, sometime a little over 1 year ago, there was a video someone took with water pouring out of a balcony. I personally asked the sprinkler system boss about that video. What was happening there is this. The crew who are installing the fire sprinkler system have to check flow rates. At that elevation, that's what they were doing. Obviously that amount of water can't go down a toilet or bathtub.. The would run a hose out to a balcony and have the water running through the meter pour out and off the building. It happens on every building, this time it was just caught on video. I've worked on towers in T.O. So what I said is indeed truly what is happening. and now U know! One time, I didn't know either.
Thanks for the information. We do see some interesting videos coming from condo buildings, so it's cool to hear the story behind it. Thanks for sharing! Must be neat to work on these towers.
With half the downtowns empty and Canada having the 2nd largest plot of land on the planet, what's the justification for supertalls? Not quite as dumb as building these things in the middle of the desert, but pretty damn close. 🙄
They want to add lots of density all along the subway lines and downtown, I'm assuming that's why. Probably also a milestone for Canadian buildings. These units start near a million, so it's not for your average person. The building in the desert is just crazy, it looks too fake to be real. Thanks for the comment.
Sky Tower reaching 105 storeys and 346 metres (1,135 feet) high, the height included the tip of the glass screen encircling the tower’s Penthouse section at its peak.
Starting at almost a million dollars for 500 sq ft... I don't know about Indians. It will be interesting to see who will be buying. A lot of overseas money for sure.
This is going to be an epic building. The renders look great. So far it’s going up and a great pace. If it weren’t for its size and the bright white trim going up the sides and the lower bio mechanical like look on that lower part… it might have blended in to much. Great addition. But torontonians really want more building with a solid look not all glass. Like what we use to build in the 80s. With a heavier look. I think. Many say they hate the all glass towers but they never give great examples of what’s possible to build and cheaply in this newer age of condos and towers. Classy is what I’d call the older buildings of Toronto. The ones from very early 1900s. The true gems that are left. I personally don’t think we’ll ever get such nice details again like in the past. Not sure why though. Those looks can be done very cheaply now. And many done using molds for details. But I digress. We need to voice what we want rather then what developers think most want. They really do t seem to be In Touch with real people. And what they want. Most don’t want balconies. Look at a skyline image and count the balconies being used. And most have no furniture… tells a lot. Meaning anyone enjoying a balcony would have chairs and tables at the least right. Common sense to use what you pay for.. but.., here we are.
Yes a lot of people don't like the all glass look every condo seems to have, but I'm assuming it's just very cost effective, concrete core with glass cladding, and it probably works great for tall buildings. Sky Tower with the tapered top and high reflective glass should change throughout the day as the different light hits it. Yes we will probably never go back to the old style buildings, but it's good they are trying to incorporate the old buildings cladding into the new buildings taking it's place, keeping some history alive. I think people like the idea of a balcony, but we have short summers and the rest of year it's too cold to enjoy. Also most of them offer no privacy at all. Thanks for the comment!!
I totally agree with you. And I don't give a damn that these kind of glassy condo towers are cost effective, because if you want to have a world class city, you also need world class architecture, not this boring generic sh*t. You can put cheap looking buildings outside of downtown. I lived in downtown Vancouver for 2 years, which is full of these new condo buildings + ugly condos from the 70s which look like from Soviet Union, there are no impressive tall office buildings like in Toronto, so there is almost nothing to be impressed by, if you actually walk through downtown, I was bored to death from that kind of architecture. I'm from Europe and I don't think Canadians understand how beauty is important to have in their cities. And I actually love the old North American architecture and I was impressed by the office towers in Toronto, but recently I saw some video from the 80s Toronto and I thought it looked so much better than this new glassy version of Toronto. I mean, if you have to use glass, then at least make it beautiful, not generic like in China.
Nobody wants a condo without a balcony. You’re nuts to think that. Units without have a much harder time selling. I’d never buy one without a little piece of outdoor
Please Toronto. Stop lauding yourself for being a city on the same stature of New York etc. You're not there and never will be. Why? Cause you're a Canadian city.
Can’t wait to see this beauty finnished one day along with the forma condos. They’ll be absolutely stunning. I hope once built people do t complain how shinny it will be. The renders have been out for quite some years now. Time to pay attention to what’s around and being built around a city. People do have a say. And have the power to stop awful projects. Just saying. Do everyth8ng to stop it if it’s going to be an actual eye sore… not just complain about them. Right makes logical sense other wise one wastes their breath for the sake of it. Pointless.
I'm looking forward as well, hopefully get a tour of the top. These buildings go though many public meetings when they are planned and they do consider what the public says, but not everyone is going to be happy. Thanks for the comment!
This means nothing if the CN tower is way bigger. The CN may not be a real building but it's still a huge object that makes this building look small. Toronto needs an iconic super tall.
They say from the top of Sky Tower, you will be able to see into the lower observatory deck of the CN Tower, so it's getting up there. From what I read, there is no other buildings planned with more floors then this one right now.
I'm looking forward to see the price and how the units look inside. Toronto has been having trouble with condo unit sales, so it will be interesting to see if they can sell.
Yes tallest in Toronto and possibly the tallest residential tower in the world if built on time. All glass and really reflective. Very interesting to see the finished product. Thanks.
Finally a building with some design rather than just a rectangle straight up. It's about time Canada has a 100+ storey building. Hopefully, there aren't a lot of issues with inadequate elevators and wait times. How many more years to go with the typical delays?
Completion date says 2027 right now. If it's completed on time and Dubai doesn't beat them, Canada could claim tallest residential building in the world.
I know, the architecture in T.O. has been pretty boring for decades. Just cheap looking glass boxes in the sky. I always thought Mississauga had better buildings than T.O. like those two Marlyn Monroe towers. They’re beautiful I think.
Yes, I mean what’s the point in even building a city if you don’t plan at least one 100-storey building, lol. Imagine the thrill of coming home after a long tough day at work to join the other 2000 sweaty suits cramming into the elevators to reach their 350 sq ft cubbies after taking in the aroma of everyone else’s dinner on the long walk down the hallway! Sign me up!!
@@dgabit Don't forget (especially with the height)... things can come to a stop for more reasons than people think. Usually around 20 stories and above, wind can really become an issue, being exactly beside the lake, it may even be worse. Crane can't fly forms around in high winds, so that can stop building. Also fog can be an issue. Don't forget the crazy wind chills that can be up there! People feel cold in winter on the ground. I tell you... it's HORRIBLE up there! a calm day on the sidewalk can be a very windy day up there! Material can fly off the deck and un alive someone below, so weather is an important factor in speed of build!
That would be sad, but so far so good. The building is now at 33 storeys and it’s rising at a rate of one floor every five days. Still planning to be completed late 2026. Thanks.
@@dgabit I find City Beautiful channel on TH-cam very informative and interesting. Their main idea is that North American cities should be built denser, like in Europe
A 8 or higher would be crazy for the entire city. Research suggests a magnitude 7, will occur some time within the next 300 years in Toronto. Lucky Toronto is not a high-risk location.
Next Toronto should aim for a 400 meter tall mix use that looks more like the world trade center or the new JP Morgan head quarter building. The skyline needs variety for more stunning views.
A 400 meter tower would be amazing. So far all the future Supertall skyscrapers in Toronto are smaller then Sky Tower I believe. Overall though a lot more skyscrapers coming.
Possibly something could happen, a lot going on in the world right now. They have been calling for a market crash forever that we still haven't got. It will be interesting to see if they can get it built on time.
@@dgabit I know. But what I mean is that there are many people like me around the world who have these nervous feelings of collapse. While I have these nervous feelings, there is another gentleman at the other side of the world who has the same feelings as me...only this time, the fearful predictions came true. And now there is civil unrest and chaos. Usually when this happens, someone would flee from that collapsed nation and move to the west (ie. USA, Canada) and warn everyone about how their society collapse, and urges everyone to pay attention. Unfortunately, little attention is usually received because of course we live in a TikTok age, etc. And as a result, we could be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as those other collapsed nations.
Thank you for that thorough comment. I understand what you mean. Hopefully people start paying more attention and we don't repeat the same mistakes as other nations. It seems like more people are starting to understand. Thank you for your comment.
No not as tall, BUT they are saying that from the top, you can see into the main observation level of the CN Tower. It would be really crazy to see a building in Toronto higher then the CN Tower.

Crazy right, and that's right now. Most likely it will be more like starting at over 1 million once it nears completion in a few years. Lot's of people got money to spend.
@@dgabitoh I think it will be considerably cheaper, but that’s just me. A good solid recession should kick the snot out of condo prices, pre-con and resale.

All you have at this point is a lot of contracts to buy a condo that was bought on spec when rates were 2%. Most will not be able to close on these units when complete. If they do get completed.
Thank you for the input. They have been calling for a recession for a long time and many believe we are overdue, but I think it's going to take a lot for that to happen. It would be very sad if The One and Sky Tower don't even get completed, very sad. I agree that rates need to come down for sure or else a lot of contacts will be dead.
