Today from the top of the escarpment (Avenue Rd)

Photos taken today, Friday (May 3rd), save for the last one. A dreary, drizzly day, in contrast to last Friday's beautiful weather. And thanks for the compliments on my set of photos from a week ago - always nice to hear things like that! Since those photos from last Friday, much at the top looks static, as work continues on the 3rd mechanical level, floor 58, though both forms on the top and on the corners have moved up, at least on some sides. By contrast, the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) are quickly installing the skin, all three having moved up as we see more of the notched shape emerging. Soon the skin will be high enough to see clearly from the west and the south. The east and north RCSs are up to floor 24, the west RCS at floor 23. There is also that similar-looking set of scaffolds on the south side, one level added to the scaffolds there since last week. And on the ground level, the covered walkway has been moved to be almost flush with the tower, presumably to install the sidewalk.

Starting with my usual "time-lapse" Flickr album addition, on to the views from the south, a view of the Yonge Street east side covered walkway, now moved back, the view from by Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street, then from Cumberland east of Bay, then Yonge and Bloor, several views from that NE corner area. And a final long shot taken yesterday, from Dundas and Sterling.

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...

The crane grew a little taller today (Saturday). I even managed to catch a drone hovering around it:

Well at least we still get to find out about concrete pours just can't see rebar anymore building is getting there sorry about your view bloor
 
How many sections did they end up adding to the crane yesterday hopefully was more than one as it seems like a waste and time-consuming to constantly have to do these raises given that you would have to check all the systems of the crane over after every time you complete one would make more sense to add three sections or so at a time
