It’s shrinking.

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
Screen captures from the presentation today.
I think they said 350 metric tonne tuned mass damper.

My notes of things.
I think they will pour the thicker core Tuned Mass Damper floor next. Hard to believe the walls for this room would not be reinforced concrete as well - just in case it lets loose??So is it topped out? Or more stories still to go? Just the mechanical now?

The top does not appear to have any elevator or mechanical space.View attachment 661098
Highly unlikely. No reason to disassemble all the equipment over the core, or switch to steel beams at the mega columns if they intended to build additional residential floors. And the garden decks were always at the same level as the TMD, accessed from the four multi level penthouses. Not sure if those (the penthouses) are still part of the plan.That's because they intend to add additional residential floors above the Tuned Mass Damper, which is in alignment with the 91-storey iteration of the building. That's not the crown they're building, only the mass damper. By placing the damper on these levels, there will be additional room for whatever Tridel ultimately decides to install/construct at top of the building in terms of amenities/gardens/etc. I heard this from someone close to the project, I won't name his/her name.
We'll just have to wait and see.
If you refer to Tridel's FAQ sheet on the One Bloor West website, a complete construction plan has yet to be decided upon, (or at least officially announced):

There is more planned with this building than what the public are privy to behind the scenes, pending approval.
This should explain why the project is scheduled to be completed by early 2028.
Stay tuned for a press release by Tridel in the near future.

They should have used a white font for the 300m mark as seen in black on the front page news story. Tridel hard to read.
