Photos taken today, Good Friday (Apr. 18). Since I posted last week, almost everything has moved up a level, save for the crane. The forms at the top are now up to level 83, it seems, whose roof is at 285 m. The blue corner scaffolds are up a level too, to floor 75 or so, and the external elevators are now up to the lower level of the 4th mechanical level, floor 77. The black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) are creeping upwards, installing the building's skin. The east RCS is up a notch to the 3rd of 3 levels for the 3rd mechanical section at about floor 58, while the north RCS remains at the first level of the mechanical section, 57, joined this week by the west RCS at that level.
Views of the tower starting with Yonge at Dundas, then at Charles east of Yonge, with a series of close-ups of the south face. Those include views of the east RCS, and louvres being installed on the 2nd mechanical level, 37-38. Then the view from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor to the west of Yonge, followed by Cumberland east of Bay, with some tighter shots of the top and the north and west RCSs. Then, from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, and the view from the old Bay entrance east along Bloor - not taken a shot from there for a while, owing to construction going on on the sidewalk there. Then, several views from the east. Also not taken any from there for a while, as the tower is not as clearly seen from that direction, but it's now well over its neighbour at 1 Bloor E. The first shot from Danforth and Woodbine, the second from around Bloor and Parliament. And a final view from the SW at the top of Queen's Park Crescent W.

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...

Today. A distant shot from the UP Express near Pearson. Definitely ruling the skyline now.
Edit: sorry, that digital zoom looks like an impressionist painting on a big screen, but you can still see The One ruling the roost

Here is a telephoto shot I took of The One from Yonge and Queens Quay this afternoon; the corner forms are roughly level with the roof of One Bloor East:

Based on the diagram it will surpass FCP roof height of 292m once it completes another floor

Today. I was going to add another shot taken from my unit, but the sun was too bright, so I thought I’d wait. Then out of nowhere the fog rolled in …
