It would be cool to feed all the pics in this thread into an AI bot that can make an awesome progress vid when this project is done. Thanks for the amazing updates y'all!

There are a few people here who are diligent about stitching together time lapses.

The bricks with the lighter mortar look pretty regularly spaced -
Could they be attachment points for a sculpture in future?

I love renders for their ridiculousness:

a) they shove trees into the render that don’t exist along Yonge.
b) 1BE has weird scaling issues going on, besides just not looking like that. Why represent it like that?
c) the sidewalk is conspicuously wayyyy too wide
d) everyone’s very obviously dressed for the fall weather, except the couple in the very centre, and that the dude is double-fisting coffee.

e) now I have to go there in person to see if they put that doorway in. (...doesn't look like they have from proceeding posted pics!) >.<

[Builder: 1st Do No Harm]

All these photos make me like this building more all the time. And wish to visit Toronto to see it in person. Drinks on me next time (first time) I'm in town.

I grudgingly accept.

Dappled sunshine. A beautiful stretch of ahead.

The core looks to be about 25 stories shorter than The One now. They should be about even in 6 months, given a floor poured every week.

I’m thinking / approximating it might look something like this…

Here's an approximation of that view illustrating the final height (91 storey version):
