With the slow progress now that it’s near the top, sometimes you wonder if they’re still working on it. Here’s a proof that they are.

Last set of diagonals struts should be getting installed soon makes sense why they have started removing that corner scaffolding now

Sky Tower / One Bloor West comparison:
Still over 50 metres of separation between these two towers. At 1.5 floors per week Sky Tower will require almost 11 weeks to close the gap...

Will the crown go any higher than the core is now?

Yes, by about 8 - 9 metres.

Here are a couple photos I took of One Bloor West yesterday afternoon; first from King's College Circle, then from Queen's Park:
Although it is hard to visually determine its geodetic height relative to the 360 Restaurant; I used an elevation map to determine the following:
Total height above sea level = elevation + height above ground
One Bloor West (current height) = 132m + 296m = 428m
One Bloor West (final height) = 132m + 308.6m = 440.6m
360 Restaurant = 81m + 351m = 432m

Drove DT today for the first time in about 6 months so it had been a while since I see thing in person. This thing is absolutely stunning in person.
Having that said, it's a shame to see all the stores closed down on the block south of that.

There's an outpost at the India/TIbet border which is ~6000m + 3m; but I'm not calling it the tallest building in the world.

...I mean, if sea levels are rising then our towers will start to become shorter.
