Photos taken today, Friday (June 20). As documented above, the final set of hangers was installed during the week as the scaffolds for the final mega column were removed from the top, clearing the final attachment point. Also gone is the central core at top, leaving those steel beams extending the mega columns as the highest point of the tower - at 295.8 m if my copy of the plans is correct. Presumably the rest of the scaffolds on top will be removed as the corner scaffolds move up now that the corners for level 79 have been poured. Further down, more skin has been installed as some of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) have moved up - the north RCS is now level with the east one at the 63rd floor, while the west RCS has jumped up to level 62.

Yeah, lots of photos of this view above, so here's another from around Yonge and Dundas, then more from around Charles and Yonge. The view from by Holt Renfrew, then on Cumberland east of Bay, showing close-ups of the top with the final set of hangers, and the north and west RCSs. Then the view from Yonge and Bloor, with a view looking under the east RCS. The view from Church and Wellesley, from College and Queen's Park, then from the top of Queen's Park itself, finally the view through the haze from Bloor and Dundas in the west.

I knew it - it hasn’t reached 300 m yet. That won’t happen until they start building the final mechanical penthouse.
 
It's interesting seeing that there is still bar exposed on the core wondering if the RCS interior has to catch up before these walls can be poured as it would be for the elevator machine rooms and other mechanicals
