    Toronto will break the record for Canada’s tallest building twice in the coming months, though, of these contenders, it will be a megalithic 106-storey behemoth at the foot of Yonge Street that will likely retain this title for years to come.

    Anyone who has simply stepped outside in downtown Toronto has likely seen the growing project at Yonge and Queen’s Quay known simply as SkyTower — the jewel in the crown of Pinnacle International’s ambitious One Yonge complex.

    The project is now racing skyward ahead of some monumental milestones in the coming months, but it took a considerable amount of money, planning and time to reach the skyline transformation unfolding today.

      Oh goodie.

      More ultra-expensive condos in an already unaffordable city.

      I’m sure that will improve the housing crisis…

        It looks like there is ~25’000 empty condo (built or currently being build) in Toronto right now, incredible… Who wants a 400sqft condo for 1M (+ housing taxes + 1000$ fee, per month)?

          It’s to be very tall, but apparently the CN Tower will remain the tallest by more than a hundred metres.

            I wonder how many of those “empty” condos are listed on airbnb right now.

              This is how the tower will look like when it’s completed.

                Buildings tend to be shorter than towers since towers don’t need to be fully inhabitable. With the CN Tower being as tall as it is, I doubt any building in Toronto will match it for many years to come.

                  To be clear, I did mean to say that the CN Tower remains the tallest building in Toronto.

                    I’m being a bit pedantic. The CN Tower is a tower, not technically a building. It’d need to have a majority of its interior space to be habitable to be considered a building. It is, however, the tallest freestanding structure in Toronto. It is incredibly expensive and difficult to make a habitable building as tall as the CN Tower, which is why I doubt any will be built in Toronto. As of now, there are only 5 buildings in the world that surpass the CN Tower in height.
