Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 19). Not much movement at the top of the tower since my last post a week ago, but all of the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) moved up at least one level. They seem to still be on level 57 at the top, some of the blue scaffolding on the east side now up where the rest were last week. And the corner blue forms are up one level as they are up around floor 48. The east RCS is now at level 21, the north RCS has jumped several floors from last week, also at 21, and the west RCS is up to level 20. (The mini black scaffolding next to the crane is still at 19.) So, a lot of shots of the RCSs and the emerging notched shape of the tower.
Starting with my usual Flickr "Time-lapse" album addition, the view from south on Yonge Street, then closer views of the first mechanical level and rising RCSs, beauty vertical shots of the east side, then more from Bloor at Yonge. The RCSs from the west on Bloor, in front of Holt Renfrew, and views from Cumberland east of Bay. And a final shot west from Bedford and Bloor.

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...

When you have borrowed into the 10 figures, weekend OT for a forming crew to perform critical path work saves money.

So looking forward to seeing that first mechanical level finished, should only be a few months now...

Decided to test out some film:

Is the building actually going to be that bright? Or it’s just highlighted for renderings, I can’t see anything that can cause such light on existing facade, or it’s going to be done later?

There were spotlights on the facade mockup but (surprise!) they seem to have gone away. I can't imagine they would go back and install them later...

Safe to say that level 57 is all poured now:

How long does it approximately take them to completely one floor?

And I doubt that the condo corp would diligently maintain those lights anyways.
May be a blessing in disguise to leave them out.
The mechanical floors may be lit up like the rendering.
