Here are some photos I took of One Bloor West yesterday morning from various angles, starting from Avenue Road:

I have not yet posted photos from directly across Bloor Street from the tower:

I had been wondering why the scaffolding around 60 Bloor Street West had been around for the past few months, especially since it only covered the first floor. Now that they have disassembled the scaffolding, here is my first photo from the corner of Bay and Bloor since March:

They were clear at the beginning of the party that they've only been on it since May 1...

...but yup, they need their loyal customers and all those who harbour goodwill toward them to know that they're now responsible for delivering something worth the price here!

Shots from the top of One Bloor West (sorry it's taken me so long to post these — more coming in a bit):

Heading up...(you don't see a lot from the hoist!)

The hoist currently goes to 79. Above that, you're hiking...

Within the elevator core, several flights above still!

Seriously...

That's some heavy rebar...

Just your average worksite gabfest...

More views to come in the sequel (assuming this franchise-opener sells enough tickets).

There were a few people who exhibited that they were out of their comfort zone while we were riding the hoist up, (I somehow managed to stop myself from being a jackass by jumping up and down in there), but nobody seemed scared to be up there once we were on the 85th, it felt totally solid, even without a tuned mass damper in place! (Well, there was no wind to speak of!) The only time I've not felt good somewhere high up were the initial minutes on the Edgewalk around the CN Tower when they had us lean over the side. After that it was like, what, we have go back in 15 or 20 minutes later?!

So, who is going to claim the 20,000th post in this thread?!

I wonder how many stories has been built already for One Bloor West? I know the building has been taken over by Tridel and continued construction but I apologies if this question seems stupid but I'm looking foward to when the building finishes construction
