And, as the headline may have given away, this tower will be absolutely enormous by the time construction wraps up. And while One Bloor West was indeed the first to reach this achievement this summer when it crossed the 300-metre mark at Yonge and Bloor, its time on the throne will be short-lived. If those numbers don't mean anything to you, here's a frame of reference that puts the scale of this tower into better perspective. SkyTower will top out almost eight metres higher than the view enjoyed by visitors to the CN Tower's main observation pod. This means that there will soon be condo residents in Toronto who live their day-to-day lives in spaces that sit roughly eye-level with CN Tower guests — a concept that would have been difficult to imagine before the city's skyscraper boom reached fever pitch in the 2010s.
