In this southeast facing drone shot by UrbanToronto Forum contributor <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/forum\/threads\/toronto-forma-308m-84s-great-gulf-gehry-partners.19170\/post-2232358\" target=\"_blank\">hawc<\/a>, The future 73-storey skyscraper \u2014 the first of a pair coming to either side of the King and Duncan streets intersection just across from David Pecaut Square, Metro Centre, and Roy Thomson Hall \u2014 has just reached its 7th storey, the first of its tower floors above the 6-storey podium. OCAD University gets floors 2, 3, and 4, while residential amenities will take the 5th and 6th floors. Look closely and you&#8217;ll see that forming for the 6th floor partially steps back from the larger podium floors below, allowing for an outdoor terrace. As more forming of the 7th floor is completed, it will step back too, but at the southeast corner, defining the floor plate for the next 32 storeys before Forma&#8217;s form shifts again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span roboto=\"\" light=\"\" verdana=\"\" helvetica=\"\" arial=\"\" sans-serif=\"\">Don&#8217;t miss you chance to listen to and engage with Abel Gill of Adamson Associates Architects as he discusses the challenges designing this unique building, along with panelists covering Pinnacle One Yonge and One Bloor West, via our free webinar today, Tuesday, May 13 at 1 PM.
