83rd floor you said? Because it isn't quite 2 floors away, it looks like

Yes, this does not mean that they are close to topping out, when they finish the 85th floor they still have aways to go to top off on the final height. That said they will still get to 300 M before One Yonge.

That tower goes way back when they had a lot of microwave dishes mounted.

It's the walkability and the ease of travel if you want to escape the city.

Getting to the airport is also a breeze. We take the Bloor subway to Kipling station and hop on the airport express. It doesn't get any easier.So I lived at One Bloor for 3 years and for me (ignoring issues with the building aka elevators and water damage!) it was a combination of: the building itself (great views, huge balconies, large gym); transit/convenience (2 subway lines is a big plus); proximity to trails; super easy to bike down to Corktown in like 10/15mins; proximity to getting on the DVP… Youre right that there isn’t necessarily a ton immediately at the intersection but - as others have pointed out - within walking distance there is a pretty good choice of bars/restaurants across a few neighbourhoods (annex / along Bloor / Yorkville / up Yonge / the village), and if you need to go further and don’t have a car then that’s when the two subway lines comes in very handy.

Looks like the RCS climbed a little higher today:

I kind of agree with you, and that is coming from someone who purchased here. I will be moving from my St Lawrence Neighbourhood condo and I'm not sure I will like it. In my current location I am a 5-10 minute walk to all the city has to offer. 5 mins south I am on Harbourfront, 5 mins east at a hockey or baseball game game, 5 mins north in the financial district, 5 mins west, Old Towne. I have a feeling I will be moving back here at some point.

Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 11). The top of 1 Bloor is where it was a week ago, working on level 82, maybe 83. The external elevator has gone up a level other than two, to floor 75. The corner forms are where they were last week, at level 74 or so. More movement however with the black Rail Climbings Systems (RCSs) installing the skin below. The East RCS is up around level 58, revealing more of the 3rd mechanical level, while the north RCS is also up, to level 57 as it also now faces the 3rd mechanical level, the west one still at 56. Meanwhile the smaller RCS on the south face has been lifted up to around 58, the skin at the level 56 there not yet done.
Shots taken from the south: Yonge and Dundas, then Dundonald east of Yonge, Charles east of Yonge, and a tighter view of the RCSs from there. Then, Yonge around Hayden and a wide shot from the east base showing the cladding zig-zagging up. The view from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor west of Yonge, with a tighter shot of the RCSs from the west. Then diagonally from Cumberland, east of Bay, including a view of the north and west RCSs from there. Then from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, and a look at the east and north RCSs. Finally, the views from the top and bottom of Queen's Park Crescent.

The One (1 Bloor West) "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...

Here are three telephoto shots I took today of The One:
1. 5x from the southwestern part of Sankofa Square, adjacent to Yonge Street
2. 10x from Yonge and Queen's Quay
3. 3x from outside OISE on Bloor Street
For comparison, here is the same shot as photo 1, but taken 24 days ago (March 18, 2025)
I also cropped the two photos from Sankofa Square to create a GIF showing the construction progress at The One:
