photoTO: Standing On The Shoulders of Giants

By David Topping

We just got sent these photos from an anonymous reader, and we thought that they were too cool to pass up. They were taken late last night from the open and unfinished (read: windy and really, really scary) roof of One St. Thomas, a 32-floor ultra-ultra-luxury condo at St. Thomas and Charles Street West that’s still very much under construction.

Prices go well past $10,000,000 for a view like this in the finished condo (we shit you not), but, according to the shooter, “why pay a few million bucks when you can hop a fence, climb a few dozen flights of stairs, and get the view for free?”
We’re inclined to agree.

    It’s pretty good, but I’d argue that the view from the 17th-floor study room of the Woodsworth College Residence is better.

    Perhaps someone from Infiltration.org?

    Is “We’re inclined to agree” a pun referencing the vantage point from where you took the pictures?
    (Please say yes.)
