Looks like the roof piece on the South side of the tower will reach higher than the north side

Wasn't that the plan anyways? I thought the roof was to have quite a pronounced slant.

I didn't know that.

I thought both sides of the peak would be an equal height.

The western peak (south) will be shorter than the eastern peak (north)

I've got a massive photo dump from today. Here's a few for now. I may or may not get a chance to post all of them, the rest are on my flickr if you are interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/896844...th/13997518114

Looking at the mechanical penthouse on the south end of the roof, I think it would be hard for a frame for the crown to be constructed around/above it and still have it shorter than the peak on the north end of the tower, without the tower deviating from the rendering.

Dundas Square is one amp'ed up area and AURA compliments it perfectly.

Everything seems a bit over the top at Dundas Square. Aura also fits the bill.

Yeah it does. Looks like they turned out the lights on the rest of the media tower while they test.
