Andaz Toronto – DesignAgency
It was cancelled. The agreement with Hyatt Hotels (Andaz) was disclaimed during the receivership. There are currently no commercial tenants in this building (that we know of).

Blog Toronto posted about the hotel opening a few days ago. Shocked they're not doing research before posting articles.

Quick snap out the car's sunroof while stopped at the light this morning. It's such an impressive building from the ground. Wow!

I assume all the blue stuff can come down now. They are forming the corners without it for some reason.

I'll take this as sarcasm, it is blogTO after all. But yeah, Alvarez & Marsal who handled the receivership posted documents stating that commercial tenancy agreements would be disclaimed and that Tridel had agreed to procure new commercial tenants. I mean, it's possible that Tridel took one look at the market and re-established the agreement with Hyatt Hotels but as far as I know, no discussions or announcements have come to light.

Photos taken today, Friday (July 18). Since my update post from last Friday, more scaffolds are gone from the top, the corners being poured are all up to level 81 - 4 more to go - and more skin is visible on the tower with the east Rail Climbing System (RCS) up to level 65 - 20 more to go!
Last week, I happened to photograph the removal of one of the 3 south side blue scaffolds from the top. Since then, the other 2 are gone, as well as 1 of the 2 inset scaffolds, at 90 degrees to each other, on each corner. So, 4 of 8 total (I couldn't get a clear look at the NE corner, but I think was just 1 left when I was by today). And, like last week, another scaffold was removed during the time I photographed the tower - the 2nd inset scaffold on the SW corner, as visible in my last photo below (and as seen in Totti's photos above). Presumably, these scaffolds need to be gone so the corners can be poured at the higher levels. So, keeping track as of mid-afternoon today, 9 of 12 side-facing scaffolds remain on top, and 3 of 8 corner inset scaffolds. They'll all be gone within two weeks at this rate. As mentioned above, work on pouring the corners now has reached level 81 on every corner, and as for placement of the skin of the building, the east RCS is at level 65, the north and west ones remain at level 64 where they were last week.
Shots start with the view from Yonge at Dundas, then up towards Charles Street with some tighter shots showing the east RCS at 65, and the scaffolds gone on the south face behind the crane. Note the steel bars with gaps in the floor around level 83. The view from the alley behind the tower looking up, then, the view from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor just west of Yonge. From Cumberland by the park, then Cumberland east of Bay. Shots from Yonge and Bloor, then from Wellesley around Church. The view from Queen's Park and a final view from Dundas and Bloor - where that inset scaffold visible at the SW corner in the previous shot is now gone.

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...

Zoom shot from near Dufferin station. Had to steal my wife's iPhone Pro as my Pixel 7 doesn't have a zoom lens!

I'm interested in why the glass hasn't been completed on that one side yet
