I'm not gonna lie, I did not think at any point in the last 2 years that this thing is going to get anywhere near done.

Bit of a hiatus - more or less correct. Getting closer now...

Have they made any statement about the final height of the tower after all the issues with Mizrahi?

Insane to believe that we're already nearly at the final mechanical level they picked up pace pretty good

Took this photo as the sun set today (Sun. Nov. 3). Should be seeing more spectacular sunset reflections as the west Rail Climbing System rises, revealing the skin, now around level 44. This will be a new landmark to see once done...
Taken east of Dundas on Bloor. Also included is a similar shot showing the potential view, taken around Bloor and Bartlett in 2017, of 1 Bloor E at sunset.

Not much progress at the top. Now that BloorMan can't see them it's like they're not even trying.Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 1). Since I posted last Friday, not much progress apparent with the tower, at least externally. A few of the blue forms for the corners have moved up a level, to floor 62 or so. And some glass has been added to level 45 on the south side. Otherwise the blue forms on top are where they were last week, though the core may have moved up one level, around 74 or 75. The Rail Climbing Systems are at level 44.
A smaller batch of photos as not much is different...
First, the view from south on Yonge, by Dundonald, then closer to around Charles, and some of that new glass on the south face. The full view from in front of Holt Renfrew, then the view from Cumberland, east of Bay, including a tighter shot of those rising corner forms. The classic view from the NE corner of Bloor and Yonge, then finishing off with Bloor West at Bedford, and from 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...www.flickr.com

Great shot! Funny to see Lansdowne, Dufferin, Bathurst and Yonge basically look the same distance away.

Completely random but I like the page number that we've reached! I like sequential numbers like this.
Friendly wager for which page the building reaches the final height? Winner gets bragging rights.
One guess if the height is 308m
Second guess if the height is 328m
Here are my guesses:
308m: Page 1294
328m: Page 1324
And the criteria is when the piece that takes it to the final height is installed. Doesn't have to be the full completion of the tower or cladding. Just the height!
