Regardless of whether this is going to top out in late 2024 or sometime in 2025, I predict that 2024 is the year where the uninformed will first notice the building on the skyline and start commenting that it "really popped up fast" and "really came from nowhere".

...it wasn't all that bad. Just from grade to about 8 floors seem to be stuck in a forever loop. From there it's mostly been smooth sailing. Er...mostly.

These columns really are massive.
Even though they get thinner on higher floors.

Lol. We're not doing ourselves any favours by checking in every single day, or multiple times a day.

The people getting paid to watch this project don't even do that.

We need your shots BloorMan, it's the only way we can keep track of the pours now.

People who are in the vicinity of Yonge & Bloor have been noticing its growing presence for at least a year. I see lots of passers-by pausing and cranking their necks to stare at the tower when I pass by that intersection. They might need to see a chiropractor by next year. But those who only venture downtown once a year will definitely claim it came from nowhere.

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 25). Since my last post last Friday, windows completed for the 8th floor on the east and north side under the Rail Climbing Systems (RCS), with cladding also partly installed - complete on the east side, partly on the north side. The windows/cladding on the west side not yet placed, presumably as it needs to be coordinated with the west extension's cladding. And... the work site has pushed into Bloor Street, presumably to allow installation of a new sidewalk.

Photos: Starting with my weekly "time-lapse" photo, added to the album of the same name on Flickr showing progress from Oct 2020. Then, the progress of the window/cladding 8th-floor installation on the east (complete) and north side (partially done). With the tower on floor 37, I believe, working on the second mechanical levels, and the scaffolds now risen above the bottom of the latest corner hangers with netting now moved above those hanger levels, some wide shots and close-ups from Bloor by Holt Renfrew; from Cumberland east of Bay; from Yonge Street by the mall entrance north of Bloor. Finally, shots of the new placement of the site barriers into Bloor Street, the public sidewalk now over the Bloor bike path.

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...
