It did become what it was first meant to be. The original concept was the 308 metre-tall building and the 328 metre concept was a later proposal that was just approved in 2023. We got the original design from I believe 2016.

That's one heck of a 'spire' she's got there!

Good thing I saw thaivic's shots showing work on the crown starting... so much for the shots I took before those beams went up! I'll go and reshoot Saturday, meanwhile here are a few shots from the west end of the new beams on the tower, taken today, Friday (Oct. 10). From Wallace bridge at Dundas; Bloor near Symington; Dundas at Sorauren.
Is the tower now topped off? Looks like they are up to around 308 metres - which is 1,010 feet. Even if short of that, today is a milestone almost certainly with the first building in Canada to reach that old-school milestone of 1,000 feet!

Here is an estimate by @livesquid as to how tall One Bloor West will be when topped-out:
The photos @thaivic took this afternoon also prompted me to take my own photos this afternoon:
From the OISE vantage point used for the quoted comparative illustration this afternoon:
So it looks like the steel beams at the top are at least at high as the renderings suggested.

Photos taken today, Saturday (Oct. 11). Took shots yesterday, but before the new beams for the crown were placed, so I did a reshoot today. Until the beams were added, not much to update as the Rail Climbing Systems installing the skin are all parked at level 70, where they were last week, though some of the skin for level 71 has now been installed, visible on the south face, 13 floors now to the top.
But the big visual change installed yesterday afternoon are the three vertical beams installed as extensions of the megacolumns. One each for the north, south and west faces. They were all added to the stubs that were there already. It seems that the gold-colour beams marking 300 m added to the stubs on the south face have been removed, a new beam going to perhaps the final height installed on one of the two, the other one now just a stub. Perhaps those gold beams marking 300 m will end up in some museum for Canada's first super-tall.
My usual slate of shots, with a few shots from the east for a change. Also check out the birds circling the top of the tower in several photos.

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...
