Photos taken today, Friday (June 27). As seen above, since my regular Friday update post a week ago, the tower has reached supertall status, the first to do so in Canada, crossing the 300 m height threshold, with two beams on the south side added. Incredibly, in a few years we'll likely have 3 or maybe even 5 more supertalls: SkyTower (351 m), Forma West Tower (308 m) and Concord Sky (301 m); maybe 19 Bloor West (319 m) and Commerce Court 3 (301 m) (project in limbo). Since those two beams were added, none other have been added on top, and since last week, just the west Rail Climbing System has moved up, joining the north and east RCSs at level 63, with the smaller RCS on the south face a few levels lower. And we can now see skin installed as high as level 63, on the south face.
Lots of low-lying cloud today, the crane dissappearing in some shots, but the tower top mostly visible. Starting from the south, the view from Yonge and Dundas, moving up to views on Charles at Yonge, and closer looks at the top and RCS levels from around there. The new beams have "One Bloor West Tridel" written on them, on either side of the crane. Then, over to Cumberland east of Bay for the near-diagonal view, and a closer look at the north and west RCSs at level 63. The iconic view from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, then the view from Church and Wellesley, from by the legislative building at Queen's Park, and from within the park itself. Some unusual views at least from what I usually post: From Barton at the north side of Christie Pits, and from Dupont and Ossington. Finally, the low cloud cover means the tower crane is invisible from the Wallace pedestrian bridge, but there's a foreground crane from a Lansdowne Avenue project in the foreground!

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...

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...
