Photos taken today, Friday (June 13). The tower hasn't gotten any higher since I posted a week ago, but more scaffolds have been removed at the top and some more of the skin is in place. Two of the eight blue scaffolding and forms for the mega columns had been removed last week, this week...

Photos taken today, Friday (June 6). A very hazy day as we got the winds from the prairie fires carrying all that smoke. The tower was barely visible through the haze at Dundas and Bloor - by the time I hit Manning, it was still pretty thick (see photo below). A big milestone for the...

Here are a few shots from the northeast and from the northwest, the tower now visible from College and Dundas. First two from the Chester Hill Lookout on Friday, the other two from Dundas and College Saturday (May 30, 31).

Photos taken today, Friday (May 30). Since my last update post from a week ago, work continues on the roof though no visible difference for the past few weeks is apparent, at least from my street-level photos - though it seemed concrete was being poured at the top when I was by today. The blue...

Some shots taken this foggy Thursday morning (May 29).

Photos taken today, Friday (May 23). Not a lot of movement on the tower since I posted a week ago, one of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) is up a floor, not much progress otherwise visibly apparent. Up at the top, it looks like the core is done - or is it? Maybe at 296m up there, not sure. The...

Photos taken today, Friday (May 16). The blue forms at top have moved up a level, as has the central core... almost at 300 m presumably... Floor 85+? The corner blue forms have moved up as well, to level 75 or so, it seems. The black Rail Climbing Systems are at level 59, save for the east one...

Here are a bunch of photos I took yesterday, Saturday (May 10), from the west end. One from the Wallace Street bridge, the rest along Bloor from Dundas, to Symington, to Landowne. The cranes to the right of One Bloor West in the Wallace bridge photo are from the Magellan Community Care complex...

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (May 9). Since I last posted a week ago, the forms and scaffolds at the top are where they were... though the crane has moved up, perhaps for the last time, and something new at the top - some sort of vertical steel beams where the super columns go... perhaps for...

Photos taken today, Friday (May 2). Movement at the top since I posted last week - seems they are up to level 84 - and the corner forms below also all up, to level 76 or so. The black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the building's skin below that are also up, with the east RCS now clear...

Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 25). After a lot of movement last week when I posted on that Friday, little visible progress this week. Work seems to be still at level 83 or so on top and the corner forms remain at level 75 give or take. The north Rail Climbing System (RCS) is up a level...

Been ignoring all those non- 1BW towers.... here's the Pinnacle, taken today, Thursday (Apr. 24). From Bay near the entrance to Union Station.

Photos taken today, Good Friday (Apr. 18). Since I posted last week, almost everything has moved up a level, save for the crane. The forms at the top are now up to level 83, it seems, whose roof is at 285 m. The blue corner scaffolds are up a level too, to floor 75 or so, and the external...

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...

Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 4). Some movement since I posted a week ago, but not a lot. Some of the blue scaffolds on the top have moved up as work continues around level 82. The corner blue scaffolds have all moved up to join the SE corner around level 74. And the Rail Climbing Systems...

Photos taken today, Friday (Mar. 28). Lots of movement on the top since I posted last Friday. As seen in mbrrrr's post above, it looks like they are working now on level 82, whose ceiling is at 285 m. And, most of the scaffolds parked below the 4th mechanical level have now been raised above it...

As I mentioned last week, something special today. (I'll add my regular 1 Bloor shots later today or tomorrow.) On March 28, 1975, 50 years ago today, I walked down to the CN Tower, its antenna still being installed, and took shots, and also went up to the Toronto Dominion Centre observation...

Here are couple shots taken today, Tuesday (Mar. 25). The first from the Wallace pedestrian bridge, the second from Bloor east of Symington with 1 Bloor in the background. The green crane to the right in the first photo is at Lansdowne and Paton, I believe for the Magellan Centre. And...

Photos taken today, Friday (Mar. 21). Work continues at the top as we enter the final stretch, still around level 81. Some work visible on the external elevator, perhaps that will rise soon, along with the crane. The blue corner scaffolds below look like they've moved up a level, to 73, while...

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Mar. 14). Since I posted a week ago, more of the forms at the top have moved up, the super-column scaffolds all now working on what seems to be level 81. Below, the remaining two hangers which span levels 71 to 76 have been installed, joining the two which were...
