The two other mildstones to watch for after surpassing Mr. Benito's horizon line of sight is, 1) surpassing 2 Bloor West and then 2) One Bloor East...

It literally feels like yesterday when they were just doing the doubled up mechanical floor this building is flying on its way up and I am loving it

While the exoskeleton is obviously quite unique to The One, the bronze window sections look like a horizontal take on 2 Bloor W's motif. It is quite possible this similarity has been noted before, but at nearly 1,000 pages there's been a lot said about this building.

I will have to ask to see if I can get permission to occasionally go up there. I’m not sure they will allow it for safety reasons.

I'm normally very cold on metal cladding because I think it can look like a very cheap way to make something look finished. But I cannot stop staring at the cladding on this project - something about it is just so satisfying.

Perhaps we'll cross the first milestone by the end of the summer and the second by third quarter of 2024. What do you think?

I’m sure we can put together a fund to facilitate such permissions…

With so many great updates daily, I don’t think my contribution from the same angles would measure up, but I just want to share this shot I took today with partial view of The One juxtaposed against the twisting public art in front of One Bloor East. I think the shiny metallic structure complements The One’s coppery diagonals very well, whether it was intentional or otherwise.
