My third post on this thread today, with the reflected sunlight:

Do you have any ideas as to why I changed the watermark in my previous post?

Fantastic shot of a gorgeous tower.

Tonight. Not the best picture (daytime shot would be better), but almost all ground floor covering has been removed, revealing the super tall glazing for the first time in about 2 years. Does this mean retail is imminent? Or just a confirmation that there’s zero chance of Apple moving in (rumours persist despite the cancelation), so no need for secrecy while they fit out the space?

There’s this:

And there’s this:

What other roller coaster is directly themed to an NFL team?

More ground-floor glass is now exposed for all of us to see!

That's a good start.

The number I included in the watermark corresponds to a player I mentioned in the Pinnacle One Yonge thread, whose surname also corresponds to the New College building I sometimes take photos from.

Now for a few closer shots:

I had yet to shoot this angle from Balmuto:

From today. They are laying the forms down for level 67.

...it's looks like they have finally reached eye level with you friend's balcony, Mr. BloorMan..goodness.

Is Berkshire Hathaway involved in Toronto condos? Maybe the market isn't so bad after all

I'm pretty sure that was a reference to @BloorMan's first photo, with the realty centre at Bedford and Davenport.

When I took my photos and edited one of them, I honestly thought it was becoming like Yonge-Dundas Square with all the billboards and signage. Also, the player's name corresponds to the western continuations of Ursula Franklin Street and York Mills Road, respectively.

Yesterday. I'm not sure if the final mechanical level cladding is coming in now, but it looks sharp if it is.

Looks like you left a new text box on screen for this one

For the second day in a row, this is my third post of the day on this thread. Here is a 10x telephoto shot from Yonge and Queens Quay today:

 

[jer1961]

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 30), with Air Show planes buzzing overhead... Since my post last week, nearly everything has moved up a level, and the windows for the ground floor retail as noted above now have had their covers removed, which had been in place since Nov./Dec. 2021. On top, the forms have moved up a level, as levels 67/68 are worked on. The hanger attachments on the super columns at the top of level 64 are now revealed, as the corner forms below have scaffolding for the corners above the 3rd mechanical level moving into place, which the hangers will eventually attach to. The south-east corner is the one corner where it looks like they are ready to pour, at level 59. Below, the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) show some movement, as the north RCS joins the east RCS at about level 39, the first floor of the 2nd mega-section between the mechanical sections. (Slightly below, actually.) Presumably we'll see the skin installed there soon, and more of the notched look of the tower emerge. The west RCS is up a level to 38, and the black mini "RCS" on the south side is still at level 37 where it's been for a few weeks. Finally, the crane has added a few sections, and the exterior elevator has added a few more levels, up to the 61st floor.

Way too many shots, my apologies. Starting with my usual "time-lapse" Flickr album update, then the view from Yonge Street, south at Alexander. In front of Holt Renfrew, to the west on Bloor, then a high-contrast shot from Balmuto. Shots from Cumberland east of Bay, at a near-diagonal. Shots of the 1st mechanical section, now showing more cladding, near its final look, a view of the more-visible 2nd mechanical level above, as the east and north RCSs rise. And some views of the cleared glass on the street level, that red Lululemon logo is just a reflection! The view from Bloor and Bedford with 1 Bloor E now almost hidden behind 1 Bloor W, another view from down Devonshire. And finally, the view from Queen's Pk Crescent, north of College.

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...
