I wouldn’t mind having a few Mini-Ones scattered around town. But of course we know they would be cheap imitations - window walls, spandrel and the diagrids will be replaced with shaded balcony pattern.

I suspect the correct name for these projects would be Illegitimate Ones.

If you've already read our front page story (posted 42 minutes ago or so as of this posting), it has since been updated with this:

When UrbanToronto contacted Tridel on whether the purchase agreements made under the previous ownership would be honoured under the new ownership, they responded saying 'Tridel is currently working on a transition plan for the community, which is not expected to be completed for a number of months. Once complete, purchasers will be contacted directly."​

Thanks UT for asking the question. Hmmmmmmmm................. "transition plan for the community" Sounds rather ominous, like they are going to transition us right out of our agreements lol.

I'm happy about this. The One was always a bit cheesy and cocky plus the general public didn't seem to know it by that name. I usually had to say "the new condo going up at Yonge & Bloor" when talky to normies about it.

Yup, my sister is visiting from out of town and she asked me about the tall condo under construction visible from my place. I said: Oh, that’s The One. And she said: The One what?
 
Here are three photos I took of The One today:

Photos taken today, Friday (May 2). Movement at the top since I posted last week - seems they are up to level 84 - and the corner forms below also all up, to level 76 or so. The black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the building's skin below that are also up, with the east RCS now clear of the 3rd mechanical level, at floor 59, with the north and west RCSs at the top level of that mechanical level, 58 or so. And... new Tridel livery at the base featuring what now is the tower's new name, One Bloor West.

Too lazy to write all the descriptions...

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...

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...
