I can beat that. My last apartment's window was 5.5 metres from the neighbouring building.
My neighbour got new curtains when she realized my desk was facing to and right next to the window.
The panorama view we got at 20ish metres was pretty fun. You could see into most of the windows in the whole building at night, and there was almost always something weird going on in at least one. It's not possible to see in during the day from that distance though.

Just curious- when the city approves super-talls in the name of “density” and the “housing crisis”, they ensure those top 40 floors are all 300sq ft studios for $500k, right?

I guess one could argue that luxury towers reduce some demand for McMansions to be built so that the wealthy have a place toJust curious- when the city approves super-talls in the name of “density” and the “housing crisis”, they ensure those top 40 floors are all 300sq ft studios for $500k, right?

Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 5). Since the post I had last Friday, the blue forms at the top remain at the same level, with the tower up to floor 56 or 57. The corner blue forms have moved up, as the corners have been poured for level 47 or so. And the west Rail Climbing System (RCS) has joined both the east and north RCSs (and the smaller platform on the south face) at level 19. Cladding is now visible under the east RCS at level 19. And... one of the glass panels at ground level has been removed for some work. Perhaps sign that the ground floor is being prepared for a retail outlet?
Starting with the addition to my Flickr "time-lapse" album - the usual link to that below, as well as to my project album which now has 1000+ images - the view from the south and close-ups showing work around the 1st mechanical level, cladding now visible on level 19 behind the east RCS. The super-column the workers are in front of has the cladding that was there last week now removed. Shots of the crew attaching a platform at the base of the 2nd mechanical level, floor 37, the platform can be seen hanging from the crane in the first photograph, at the left.
A kinda crappy shot of the gap on the ground floor with a glass panel removed, the northern-most pane on the Yonge Street side (focused on the wrong thing, the smoke from the truck engine). Then the view from Bloor west of Yonge, in front of Holt Renfrew with the west RCS now up above the 1st mechanical level. Shots from Cumberland east of Bay follow with closeups of that mechanical level. And a final shot from Bedford and Bloor, to the west.

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...

One Bloor West (The One) construction
Photos of One Bloor West (The One) construction progress, including a "before" shot from 2011 and several from 2015 after the demolition of Stollery's. Notable for becoming Canada's first supertall building, i.e., over 300 metres (985 feet) tall. (The CN Tower does not fall under the definition...

So this is just over halfway up!

Ya, in terms of storey count, looks like they're working on #57 out of 91 ( or 85, who knows? ). In terms of overall height, they're substantially over half way due to the overall height of the first floor as well as floors 2 - 7. At the current pace, I would think this tops out by the end of the year?

If they continue at current pace i would guess they top out by end of February.

Ya, you're probably right. There's 38 weeks left in the year and to finish the final 34 floors might be a little ambitious. We'll see how the summer goes.

I think @Johnny Au uses these terms relative to this building, not the city. In other words, it is the golden corner of this building or this intersection in general.

My dude, read back in the thread rather than coming out all aggressively. It started as a bit of a joke, and it's continued.
