Get this: a new skyscraper just topped out in Toronto, and it's officially the residential building with the most floors in all of North America. Seriously, 106 stories of homes and a fancy hotel.
It's called the Pinnacle SkyTower, and it shoots up 1,154 feet into the sky. That makes it Canada's tallest building, though the CN Tower is still king if you count structures that aren't technically buildings.
Now, here's the wild part: even with all those floors, it's not the tallest residential building. That title goes to New York's Central Park Tower, which has fewer floors but super high ceilings. Go figure.

This isn't just any tall building. The SkyTower has this super cool twelve-sided shape that tapers as it goes up. Imagine a giant diamond twisting towards the sky – that's the vibe. The architects at Hariri Pontarini say this unique shape isn't just for looks; it helps cut through the wind and gives more apartments killer views.
They're still putting the finishing touches on the outside and inside. When it's all done in 2026, it'll have nearly a thousand luxury homes and a swanky Le Méridien hotel with 220 rooms. Plus, there's a massive 80,000 square feet of amenities for residents and guests. It’s all part of a bigger project called Pinnacle One Yonge.
It's pretty nuts to think about a building with 106 floors. That's a whole lot of living happening way up high. This tower isn't just setting a record; it's changing Toronto's skyline in a seriously cool way.
