It looks to be about 240ish metres currently? Almost side by side with 1 Bloor East

Any news/rumors on who is taking the ground retail?

I've heard it was specifically designed to Apple's specs, which makes it quite likely that Apple will end up in that space after all the negotiations are complete.

My thinking and hope too - Toronto is a major NA city, Apple does not really have a proper flagship for the city of this size (like it has in NY, SF, CH), and they value this level of drama/theater in their retail presence probably more than any other retailer.

Let’s please not discuss Apple here. There are retail forums for that. (For those who are new, there were hundreds of posts about Apple going here as this space was designed for them before they pulled the plug due to delays. Will Apple reassess their withdrawal. Most likely. But let’s stop with the speculation in this forum. Thanks.)

To finish the set of photos I took of The One yesterday, here is one from birthday dinner:
I would say the elevator core (currently the highest point of the building) appears to be between 245 and 250 metres now.

From today. The blue forms at the top were raised a level and they are pouring the columns that will hold up level 71:

I guess only the double-level penthouse (Levels 75/76) of 1 Bloor East is still higher than The One now (and not for long).

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 27). Since my post from last Friday, the tower continues its steady rise to... whatever height! Some of the blue forms on top rose one level, as the top is at level 70/71 or so. The crane is where it was a week ago, but the external elevator added three floors, up to level 64. Work continues on the corners a few levels below, around level 60, and down by the skin-installing Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs), the first glass for level 41 has been placed. The east RCS is up to level 41, and the north and west RCSs remain where they were last week, at levels 40 and 39, respectively. The mini RCS on the south side has now been raised to level 39.
Starting with my usual "time-lapse" Flickr album addition, on to the views from the south including a shot of that new bit of glass on level 41. Views from Yonge Street at Shuter, then Dundas, then Alexander; finally shots from closer, at Charles etc. The view of the NW corner from Bloor Street, then the diagonal view from Cumberland, east of Bay. Several shots from Bloor Street to the east of Yonge, A shot from Devonshire to the west, finally the view from College and Queen's Park Crescent,

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...
