Photos taken today, Friday (June 13). The tower hasn't gotten any higher since I posted a week ago, but more scaffolds have been removed at the top and some more of the skin is in place. Two of the eight blue scaffolding and forms for the mega columns had been removed last week, this week another five are gone, leaving only a single mega column top still hidden behind scaffolding. Meanwhile, scaffolds have been placed on the four corners above the 4th mechanical levels, so those floors will soon be poured and we may see the final set of hangers put in place over the next week or two. I suppose more of the forms on top will be removed too. Meanwhile, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin below show some movement, with the east RCS up to level 63, and the north one up to level 62. The west RCS remains at level 60.

Starting with the view from Yonge and Dundas, wide and tight, to Dundonald a bit east of Yonge, a crew visible on the SW corner near the top. A shot from Charles east of Yonge - check out the weird clouds - then some more looks at the top and of the RCSs and the current extent of installed glass. From in front of Holt Renfrew, then from Cumberland near Bellair showing the north and west RCSs, then from Cumberland east of Bay, a wide and then tight shot of the top with the scaffolding gone at the top of the mega columns and added for the corners. The view from Bloor east of Yonge, then from the NE corner of Bloor and Yonge. Finally, a set of views from College and Queen's Pk Cres., from near the top of Queen's Park, and a tighter view of the top from the west showing the lone remaining mega column scaffold still in place.

One Bloor West (The One) construction

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...

I presume this was done to allow them to finish of the corners' business.
