Toronto One Bloor West | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 23). Very cold out there today, -13 or so, in the -20s with the wind. Since I posted last Friday, the east Rail Climbing System (RCS), installing the building's skin, is up a level to floor 80.... and one wonders if that's as high as the RCSs can go? The bottom rim of the 79th floor, newly installed, is visible on the east face and partly installed on the north face. The north RCS at 79, the west at 77 or so.

Buncha crap on the camera sensor that I mostly cleaned up, but some might be visible...

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...

The cement pumping station on our street is finally being dismantled today. It’s been a long almost six years with it blocking the north end of Balmuto. I won’t miss it.

It has been a while since I have taken photos of One Bloor West from Queen's Park; from this afternoon:

It keeps messing me up because the RCS on The one side doesn't seem to be moving at all

They are working hard dismantling the station. I’m guessing it will be gone by tomorrow and we’ll have our street back.

Another view, yesterday and just now.

Not gone yet. They are done for the day.

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 30). Only a few photos from me this week as there is virtually no change since I posted last week.

With the final few floors now getting the glass and cladding installed, some new skin visible on level 80 under the east Rail Climbing System, hence the closer shot from the SE. Otherwise, little difference other than a lot of snow piled up on the street!
