^^just trying to orientate myself. That is a block off king towards the lake? I notice the hip holiday inn and the movie theatre cube.

[WhipperSnapper]

Northwest corner of King & John.

IMO, there is nothing "hip" about the Holiday Inn/Hyatt, mixed use tower. (well, maybe the pool)

[Coldrsx]

I'd hate to be a Phunky monkey but neither 500 Sherbourne or this tower are remotely tall enough to be in the TOP 30

[sparky212]

Im not 100 % sold on the materials used for absolute yet

[Coldrsx]

....just because i like rumours....

there could be an interesting situation shaping up in Edmonton with the EPCOR tower that is U/C right now. Originally (recent history) it was planned for 137.5 m (to spire) but now it looks as though they have it pegged at 149.35m which would potentially put it 3.35m above our current tallest, Manulife place @ 146m. (keep in mind we are still limited to ~150m due to the airport overlay).

now it has been pointed out that the geodetic height of manulife will likely be higher still.

Whoah, I thought Epcor was still just an open pit!

I'm a huge fan of Casa. It's very simple but sleek and exemplifies Toronto's boxy architecture. If the roof is uplit from below once it's complete like the render indicates then this thing will look fantastic at night.
