Nope...they're at the 3rd mechanical. And like with all previous mechanicals, it always slows up at those points. More concrete, more rebar, more structural reinforcement...and management change over has nothing to do with that.
I just did a floor count from the top of the last hanger looks like one final floor then mechanical though tying those sheer walls would add quite a large amount to work which probably is contributing to these floors taking longer
 
Here's an interesting time cue snippet from Johnny Strides latest live stream. Right after Eataly, he talks about watching a video on the top 10 skyscraper projects in North America going up now, and apparently The One and One Yonge are number 3 and 2 on that list respectively. Happy with the ranking!

Here's the video mentioned above. It actually features 3 Toronto super-talls in the rankings: The One (including financial woes ;-), Pinnacle One Yonge (SkyTower) and Gehry's FORMA.

 
Any speculation on which developer picks up the project?

Westbank might be able to swing it. 19 Duncan, King Toronto, and Mirvish Village are their only active Toronto projects and all are very close to being finished (occupancy/registered warranty repairs).

Concord seems an obvious candidate given they turned a profit off finishing Cresford projects and seem to have bottomless credit lines.

Would Menkes, Tridel, Great Gulf, Pemberton, etc. be interested? They seem to have a full plate already.

In BloorMan's post #16,930 it looks like they were pouring walls for 56, so next slab forms we see should be the next mechanical (57).

My edits above = my thoughts.

Westbank??? Huh???

I mean, it could be a dating match-up between a building that's having financial problems with a dev that's having financial troubles. Look how that worked out for Mizrahi... /s
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Mar. 22), as the snow came down! So the shots here are kinda... hazy! A fair bit of progress since I posted last Friday. The blue forms on top have moved up a level and are on 56 / 57 for the core, I believe. Level 57 is a milestone floor, the first level of the third mechanical level. Further down, as BloorMan posted this past weekend, the 5th set of corner hangers have been installed. And the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) have progressed, with the north RCS joining the east RCS installing level 19, the first floor above the first mechanical level. Meanwhile, the west RCS is up to level 18 or so. The shape of the notched building now revealing itself. Visible on the south side are more windows installed to the right of the crane. Last week, 19 and 20 were done, with some windows in on 21. Now, 21 is done and 22 has most of the windows in place. And barely visible are windows under the east RCS installed on 19, 20 (as was last week), and now 21 as well.

Another possible milestone, as some new scaffolding installed on the Bloor Street sidewalk, presumable for consumer access to the tower, perhaps presaging some activity on the ground floor retail level? (Visible in the first image here.)

Starting with this week's addition to the Flickr "time-lapse" album of mine, followed by views from the south, showing more windows there on the south face, followed by the view from by Holt Renfrew on Bloor, west of Yonge, then views from Cumberland east of Bay including the raised RCSs and the new set of hangers. Views from Yonge Street just north of Bloor, and from Bloor just east of Yonge, and finally from the west, Bedford and Bloor.
