The CN Tower footprint looks to be about 50 meters to a side. I wonder how high it would have to be to beat the height of the Baden hill towers, that are the current highest point in the Region?
Are you talking about the Tower of Google that's being built close to the station? It won't be as tall as Baden Hill, but it will be about 950 high, or about 200 feet shorter than the observation deck at the CN Tower. They're working with Rogers an GO Transit on this one (The LED display will cycle between showing GO Transit, Rogers and Google). They're testing longer range 5G as well. The observation deck will be around 875 feet (the other 75 feet above is antenna). I hadn't heard about any restaurant in there tho, not an easy sell.
