Wow, that Huge pit is getting shallower that much quicker now!

this is the one Toronto tower that has captured my interest the most. it will be fun to watch this one go up. it will be so tall and attractive. i just love this one.

Davis137 Nov 22, 2010 6:00 PM

And to think, if anything gets proposed in Ottawa that is taller than 15 stories, it makes a lot of people upset...taller than 25 storeys...don't even think about it...

LOL!

Currently the mech height has been quoted as 264m

i can see this tower rising fast!

Ramako Nov 23, 2010 5:39 PM

This tower is now 264 metres.

isaidso Nov 23, 2010 6:07 PM

So this will be Toronto's 4th tallest once complete after FCP, Trump, and Scotia Plaza. Can't wait!

They build it really fast..probably winter rush. Everytime I cross by I can see the big difference.

sweeeeet!

these two tower look exactly like a proposal for Calgary. 60 flrs they are proposed to be. this area will benefit greatly from Auras presents. the surrounding towers look like they belong in the soviet union. haha

This building also bares a striking resemblance to another gorgeous building recently erected in Chicago:

Ironically, Toronto's will be taller. :tup:

ya! and holy crap that one looks awsome too. Aura would look skinny as a toothpick, if you compared it to the bow that is. i love this project more and more.:cheers:
