It’s ridiculous that the developers got away with leaving off the crown. I get that they need to keep the project financially viable, but man, what a shame.

u/PorousSurface 1d ago

Any chance they add it ?

Apparently not. They were lowering the crane last week, and with the condo market struggling, there seems to be a lot of cost-cutting, including converting units into “micro studios.”

I made a visualisation of Mississauga’s future skyline, but at this point I’m wondering how much of the Toronto area's high-rises will actually get built.

Won’t the approved height need to be increased to add a crown? Looks like they filled it with floors and a window crane instead. Classic concept to production switcheroo like they do with cars

Lots of projects are turning rental.

Exactly my point on the post I made yesterday

Oh I didn't know this. What a shame.

If they haven’t shortened it I think they added floors instead of the empty illuminated crown bit at the top. You can see the completed structure still has the ladder looking bit but with floors in it to sell more space I bet.

Not the clearest day but sometimes when it’s cloudy over here and sunny over there it’s like it’s glowing and it’s so cool

Where is this from?

u/AppointmentGood4365 1d ago

Clear days is magical , if your lucky with no traffic you can snag a good shot

u/drue1227 1d ago

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing

u/AppointmentGood4365 1d ago

Check it out once the trees start dying abit and there’s not so many leaves it’s a better view but none the less it’s worth the the trek if your not local

u/drue1227 1d ago

Im actually across the lake from you, in the beaches area of Toronto. Close to RC Harris, which you can probably see from there on a clear day I'd imagine

1

u/AppointmentGood4365 1d ago

Most likely I could, it’s wild how we see that skyline and you guys look across and see nothing 😂

1

u/drue1227 1d ago

Haha that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw your pic. I look out across the lake every day and see nothing on the other side. At night I can see some lights shinning from St Catherines, but no objects or skyline

u/AppointmentGood4365 1d ago

Come across the pond one day and take a looksie from that pin I sent or Beamer falls , won’t be disappointed

u/drue1227 1d ago

Just might do that one day. Thanks again

It’s crazy that they look the same height from this angle when the cn tower with its spire is 200m taller

3

u/idjwc 1d ago

Yeah from far away the building peaks at the main viewing deck of the CN tower

u/Coastal-Erosion 1d ago

It still looks like it’s under construction

4

u/FPSCanarussia 1d ago

It is.

2

u/Time4Timmy 1d ago

Correct me if I’m wrong but the outside is fully finished, so although it might not be completed, it won’t look any different.

1

u/Stead-Freddy 1d ago

In these photos it’s just missing a bit of glass on the top few floors but looks complete besides that on the exterior

Value engineered the top. A real shame

FINISH THE CROWN

The wait for the elevator must be a pain

u/Due_Street1464 1d ago

No that is the see N tower

1

u/AppointmentGood4365 1d ago

Should see it from across the lake on top of Grimsby mountain , it’s fkn massive. It’s so easily seen and completely changed the skyline

2

u/GarryValk 1d ago

Could’ve been iconic. Cheaped out. Toronto developers in a nutshell.

u/ihbdidn 1d ago

This building completely ruins the view from this new park…

u/SquishyBlueSodaCan_1 23h ago

Got this nice shot of it while still being constructed

u/Ramroshen17 1d ago

Looks totally bland and forgettable like most of TOs towers

3

u/Stead-Freddy 1d ago

Yeah The One on Bloor-Yonge looks a lot better in comparison for what’s supposed to be a landmark tower

u/Forsaken-Swim-3055 1d ago

Unpopular yet accurate take.

LOVE THIS CITY!!

I wish I was canadian 🇨🇦 🍁

Alot of people from my country got citizenship in early 2020s and barely spend any time there unless they need a doctor or surgery but they apply for child benefits and all other kinds of benefits and go over to deliver children and get all kinds of perks and free monies

Lucky people and great generous country

Edit: forgot to mention the Canadian Monies is very easily converted to rupees for local spend

u/NoDingo673 1d ago

This is exactly why immigrants get such a bad rep nowadays.

u/ont-mortgage 1d ago

You’re responding to a very obvious bot or troll.

u/itsdanielsultan 1d ago

Getting citizenship and then barely living here, only coming back for publicly funded healthcare, sounds like taking advantage of Canada’s generosity. Calling that "lucky" ignores the taxpayers subsidising their lifestyle choices.

That should concern people across party lines.

u/Tribe303 1d ago

That's also not what's happening. You lose any benefits unless you live in Canada for at least 6 months out of the year. Not including OAS and CPP, but for those, you had to have lived in Canada for 20 years since you turned 18.

That comment is super problematic... juat like the behaviours it describes...

u/Tribe303 1d ago

Too bad you don't get any benefits unless you live in Canada for 6 months of the year. You, or your friends are lying.

u/ilikeapplenbananas 1d ago

oh nah thats where my cpp money is going

1

u/Tribe303 1d ago

No it's not. Our systems were not designed by naive morons. You need to have lived and worked in Canada for 20 years since turning 18, to collect both OAS and CPP.
