From early this morning:

My latest set of weekly shots, taken today, Friday (Oct. 18). Just about everything but the crane has gone up a level since last week. At the top, the blue forms have moved up and the core looks like it might be at level 75, which is even with 1BE more or less... I've heard nothing definitive on this, but no doubt in a week or two it will visibly have surpassed its neighbour as it approaches the 4th mechanical level. For sure, we have seen level 71 partly emerge under the forms as the attachment points for the next set of hangers have emerged, and they are at the top of level 70. Lower down, I misspoke in previous weeks as the corners are poured. The corner blue forms are parked at the 2nd mechanical level until three or four corner floors are done before they are raised. This week the first corner form, on the SE corner, has been raised as the corners for level 61 - 62? - are completed. Further down, the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) have all moved up as the skin of the building is installed and revealed one floor at a time. As usual, we see the highest installation on the south face, where glass is in place on level 44. The east RCS is at that level now, up one from last week, as are the north and west RCSs, both up to level 43. So the skin for the tower is now roughly half-installed. The mini-RCS on the south side is also up, to level 41. And.... the external elevator is up to level 66.

A full slate of 15 shots. No longer starting with the usual "time-lapse" Flickr album update shot (though the shot will be still be here), as it is increasingly difficult to see the weekly progress in that image, as it disappears into the top.... So views from the south start off, first from Dundas where it looks like 1BW is almost taller than 1BE... Then from Dundonald and Yonge, a series from closer to Charles, showing the highest installed glass and rise of the top, nice light-play, etc. Then the view from by Holt Renfrew on Bloor west of Yonge, two shots from Cumberland east of Bay, then several from Yonge and Bloor, at the NE corner and slightly to the east. Finally, from the west, Bloor at Bedford, then down Devonshire.

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...

Based on these two photos from today, I would say the floor forms are in place for a floor that is more or less even with 1BE's roofline, plus The One has core forms on top of that to match 1BE's roof's wall/cladding.

This a sketch I did showing current height of The One relative to other buildings in the City. It appears that the floor for level 74 has been poured. Two more floor pours then The One will overtake 1BE (as noted by @Rascacielo the core has surpassed 1BE).

The base drawing I have is the 94-storey version submitted with the height increase. I have not seen the plans on AIC for the 91 storey version that was subject to the settlement approved by the OLT.

Interesting and the height comparisons with other buildings are very helpful. So, if it ends up as an 85 storey building, even the 85th storey is still lower than the top of FCP (assuming FCP is actually 298m, some people think it’s shorter) - only the crown will take it to 308+ m.
 
Taken from Queens Quay at Yonge St. I have to say it's pretty awesome that the two tallest skyscrapers in Toronto will be on the same street at opposite ends of downtown!

PS: If you look very closely on the left photo you can see 1 Bloor East just poking out, just slightly shorter than The One's elevator core.
 
As is currently being discussed in the 50 Scollard thread, there are ongoing technical problems with the forum right now. One of them involved @Paclo's above post being stated as quoting me, even though I did not see my username in it. Anyways, here is The One today from King's College Circle:

tagged you since we basically took the same photo today from King's College Circle! Posted my photos in the 50 Scollard thread by mistake

I could tell both of our photos were from the northeast corner of King's College Circle, based on the flora in the foreground. They also show 50 Scollard, 11 YV, and The One in them, which is why I posted it in all three threads.

I wasn't aware about tagging members without explicitly mentioning them in posts.
