There are many reasons why this building is special, but a few characteristics that I wish we'd get more of in Toronto (especially for primarily condo buildings):
- Curtainwall cladding
- No balconies
- Less substantial podium

I love my balcony at 1 Bloor East, although it didn't need to be as big as it is.

The actual intersection is...ok...a bit dodgy at times, but ok. Down at Charles is rougher due to Sanctuary and its denizens. I actually find Bloor and Spadina worse.

If the TPS won’t clean out the junkies (isn’t public intoxication and drug use still illegal?), maybe the civil courts will.

It's not even done, and yet it's already iconic. We're lucky to have this in our city. There's a lot to be said about Mirvish, but I have to give credit where credit is due.

I think you posted in the wrong thread and meant to post in the Forma one
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 12). A quicker note today... Some visible milestones since I posted last Friday. Two of the blue corner scaffolds at top are now gone, maybe more as I was there noonish. Maybe that means world on the crown will soon start. The external elevator now goes up to the roof, level 85, and the Rail Climbing Systems installing the building's skin have all moved up, save the west one. So, the east, north and the mini RCSs are up to level 68, west still at 67. 16 floors to go!

With progress moving along at a reasonable rate, has there been any hint of what will go in to the base of the building (retail ground floor)? I know an Apple Store was originally planned, and the space seems perfect for that. Trying to figure out what else might go in there if the Apple deal is dead. It's a great but very unique space and I'm guessing must have a huge price tag ...
