Good rant, but it's not only Toronto or Canada, it's pretty much the whole western civilization, the USA has a lot of parallels with the Soviet Union before it collapsed, and the rest of it won't survive much longer with climate change. In the meantime let's just enjoy these wonders of construction and civil engineering.

I agree.. I would NEVER leave Canada for the USA... it's even worse.

Their politics is just LAUGHABLE. Both sides screwing people over. You think Elon Musk cares about free speech? Lmfao. The romans were right... "panem et circenses". We see it before our eyes (at least the ones that can see through the BS).
 
Taken at twilight today, Tuesday (Nov. 26). Love the light on the glass and cladding.

That what I thought, just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything more official. I remember someone saying it would be obvious after the 64th (iirc) or so storey because the design deviates, but as you can see UT and most listings still say 91 stories.

I hear ya. I mean to be honest, if I wasn't on here every day, I would probably end up asking as well. Hopefully something official comes out in the next little while but like I said, Northern Light's post did not promising for those of us that really wanted the extra height.
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 29). A lot of movement since my last update post last Friday. Though the centre core still looks like it is at the 4th mechanical level on floors 77 & 78, just about everything else has gone up, save for the crane and external elevators. The blue scaffolds on top are up a level, and we can see level 74 emerging from underneath. Though the blue forms below working on the corners have not moved up, the 8th set of hangers has now been installed so the corners for level 65 are complete. And the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin are all up. The top-most visible level of glass now installed is for level 49, and the east RCS is also now at that level, the north, west and mini-RCS on the south side have moved up to levels 49, 48 and 47 respectively. They were at 48, 47, 47 and 45 last week.

A full set of shots, starting with the view to the south on Yonge Street, by Dundonald. Some shots from Charles a little east of Yonge, then from Yonge a bit north of Charles. The view from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor west of Yonge, then a few including a high-contrast one from Cumberland east of Bay. The "classic" shot from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, and another a bit east of there on the back entrance stairs. Then, to the west from Bloor around Bellair; Queen's Park Cres. W, north of Hoskin; and finally from Bloor east of Dundas, the Bloor & Dufferin development visible to the right of the tower.

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...
