@Koops65 has a
300.6 metres (super-tall) height listed on his SSP diagram for Concord Sky, despite UT's official height of 299m.
The “is it a super-tall?” has been much discussed at UT and one member pointed out that height is measured from the
lowest pedestrian entrance (there’s an elevation change from south up to north* (*which is the 299m).
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) does indeed
measure total height from "the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to.... (the Architectural Top)".
So if the south end of the tower has a
pedestrian entrance (presumably not just a fire door lol)... voila! super-tall. If there is no door on the south end of the tower .... height fanboy dreams are crushed.
But Toronto may actually have 3 super-talls under construction. 2 of them are looking fine, 1 tba (Concord Sky) …is bound to cause some serious hand-ringing for the next few years.
But does that entrance exist?? Inquiring minds want to know.
