Here are various photos I took of One Bloor West yesterday afternoon, with the exception of the final photo from Sankofa Square, which I took this morning:

5 floor deep pit? That's what will hold the TMD?

Amazing shots of the top. A few more floors of elevator landings and stairs to go and then a ~1m thick slab for the TMD pad.

...anyrates, a couple of more floors of those corner bits, and they'll have to remove or raise those respective blue form thingies I suspect.

So that 5 story 'pit' at the top here is all for mechanical stuff and then the 1 meter slab and then the damper on top?
Very cool.
5 stories of mechanical seems like a lot, but then it's a very tall building.
I wonder what the height of the highest residential floor is?
I was reading that this will have 32 elevators! Again seems like a lot, but I guess some of those are private or only serve certain sections of the building.

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (July 11). Steady progress on the tower since I posted a week ago, including somewhat of a milestone as the first section of blue scaffolding along the sides at the top was removed yesterday. Chronologically, the shots I took from Yonge and Dundas yesterday were the last I took - and the close-up shows the crane hoisting one of three segments from the south face behind the crane at top. Now there are only two sections left behind the crane. Hawc's amazing drone shots above were taken after my shots - it seems we are seeing a lot of the disassembled blue scaffold there on the top floor!
Meanwhile, work on the floor corners being poured has moved up, at least on the SE corner where they are closest to doing the floor corner of level 81. Some of the shots below show some work on that corner. As I speculated last week, once those corners reach the top, maybe then we will see work on the roof commence, reaching the 1,000-foot milestone and then the final 309 meter height. Maybe by August? As for the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin below, the west and north RCSs have moved up a floor to join the east RCS at level 64.
Starting with those shots (taken last) showing the removal of the first blue scaffold along the sides (the blue scaffolds for the super-columns were removed several weeks ago), taken from Yonge and Dundas, followed by shots from the area of Charles and Yonge. Includes a tight shot showing the top and the highest level of glass installed - on the south face at level 64. Then, to Cumberland east of Bay, including a tighter shot showing the north and west RCSs up to level 64. Views from Bloor and Yonge, then a series of shots from around Wellesley and Church showing work on the SE corner at level 81. (Taken minutes before the scaffold section was hoisted away.) Then, shots from College and Queen's Park, and from Queen's Park itself. (Again, before the scaffold was removed.)

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...

I take a lot of shots of it from above. But late last night I was parked under it sitting at the light, looking up at it in the dark. It's STUNNING. Really takes your breath away when you see the scale of the details up close. I love it.

From this morning - July 14, 2025.
No.
An extension to the elevator shafts is coming!
This probably isn't the absolute latest version of the drawings, but it's the first one I found with a cross section in it showing that the elevators continue to serve more suite floors, and then the Tuned Mass Damper will sit within the crown still to be assembled at the top of the building:
