What a difference a day makes! Here are photos I took yesterday:

Here are some photos taken just now. I have a gut feeling we'll see another floor pour tomorrow.

Great updates as usual. It seems they still have to layout out 50% of the floor rebar and conduits plus the blue bases for the cladding. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if they pour it tomorrow but I would wager on Monday. The forecast also calls for rain tomorrow afternoon so they may schedule it for Monday anyways.

It feels like they are moving along super fast with regard to finishing-type touches on the base.

Does anyone have an idea if this is because they intend to open the base before the tower is finished topping out?
Is that even possible?

The intent is to open at least the retail while the tower is still under construction. Not sure about anything else on the lower levels, but technically anything that's accessed by the secondary elevator core could be opened as it's not dependent on the tower above being completed.

Aura also opened its retail before the tower was finished, so this won't even be the first time something like this has happened in Toronto.

Thanks. So far, it's seems they pour the day after the electrical conduits start getting placed, so, you never know. I noticed a section of crane sitting on Yonge St just now.

Indeed. As long as precautions are taken to protect everyone from the construction above, it’s much better than having empty storefronts 7-8 years after construction is done (looking at the neighbour across the street).

When is this projected to be topped out?

seems the super columns had their first girth reduction? what floor did that happen on, when is next one?

I'm not sure about that, I don't think they change until 49.

Today. There is activity in the crane so perhaps there’ll be a jump soon.

I think they are adding another bracing to the crane beam.

And what an excellent spot from which to view it!

The crane grew taller today:

PART 1: Photos taken today, Friday (July 28). My usual single post split into two, the first here is showing the windows going up behind the RCS scaffolding and some other shots.

As usual, I start with the wide beauty shot, with the blue scaffolding on the top and the corners having gone up one level since the last "time lapse" photo from a week ago.

Next, it seems the seventh floor windows now have mostly been installed, from the SE corner, along the east face, and most of the north face. The working platforms in the RCS units are flush to the windows and can swing up, presumably so the cladding sections can be placed. Maybe the windows for the seventh floor on the west side will be installed as before as the RCS is a floor higher. So photos going from the SE corner to the NE corner, the north side and a glimpse of the NW corner which has yet to have the windows placed.

A wide shot from Bay/Cumberland, and a shot of the crane with the temporary elevator now raised three more floors, to the 30th floor.

My "time-lapse" album on Flickr link Oct 2020-Jul 2023:

One Bloor West (The One) "time-lapse"

From October, 2020, as above-ground construction started in earnest at The One (1 Bloor W.) in Toronto. More or less a weekly photo usually taken on a Friday, with some gaps during early-on construction hiatuses. The initial photographs are from 2015, during demolition at the site, 2018, during...
