Installing the 7G antennas

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...

Those gold beams should be displayed and labeled as 'crow's nests' because that's all they were - to crow that it was the first building in Canada to reach 300m

Today. The new beams are barely visible next to the crane from this vantage point

I wouldn't classify that as fog, I would say it is in the clouds

Will those steel column extensions be incased in concrete?
