Nice capture! Possibly the best vantage point I've seen of this building.
Once the tower reaches its full height and is fully clad, it will look phenomenal from here. Evokes the nearly full-frame vistas of the Billionare's Row buildings from Central Park.

If I recall from the article was it not just a 90 day period skygrid is taking over?

From today. It's hard to see much progress from my view. However, they did pour more concrete into the corners below:

Yup, corners are poured, so next set of hangers should be coming soon.

I believe that picture was taken with a zoom lens. In reality the towers are not behind the houses, they're about 2 km away.

Photos taken Friday (Mar. 15). Not much progress on the exterior since my post last Friday. Both the blue forms on top and on the corners are where they were last week at this time. Not sure if BloorMan says they have started to do the core of the third mechanical level, which would be level 57 if so. And the corner sections may be doing the attachment level for the next set of hangers, which would be level 45. Maybe the corner forms don't rise at this level so as to allow clearance when the hangers are attached? The Rail Climbing Systems also remain where they were before. Some activity of the south face with the installation of glass on levels 19, 20 and 21. And the external elevator now has the doors installed up to level 50, with the crane now higher as well.
But one major change from last week.... gone are the Joy von Tiedemann construction photos along the sidewalks, replaced by Skygrid signage as they took over the project on Wednesday.
Starting with my usual "time lapse" Flickr album addition, to views of the south face where most of this week's visible progress has taken place. A closer look at the south face along with the above-mentioned new glass having been installed 19-21 also shows glass installed under the east Rail Climbing System on levels 19 and 20. A view of workers at one of the corners, and several shots from Cumberland, east of Bay, then a shot from Bloor at Bedford to the west. Finishing off with some of the new Skygrid signage. (Or is it properly SKYGRiD?)

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...

From today (Saturday). All the corner hangers were installed. I'm a little concerned with the plywood left at the top. Hopefully it's tied down. From my view, it looks like its left leaning on something.

“New SKYGRiD job site unleashes flying sheets of plywood on Bloor/Yonge neighbors” is a headline no one wants to see…
