Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 20). The forms on top have moved up a level since my post last Friday, and they are working on level 70/71, which translates to a height of 239/242 metres, equalling or surpassing the height of Commerce Court West, the tallest building in Toronto from 1972 until...

Several photos taken over the last few days. The first from the Toronto Ukrainian Festival on Bloor from east of Jane Street on Sunday, Sept. 15. The second from Dundas and Ritchie (near Roncesvalles) on Tuesday, Sept 17.

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 13). The forms at top have moved up a level, I think we are at level 70 at the core. At 69 for sure. As documented by BloorMan above, the latest set of hangers were installed yesterday linking the corner floors of level 59 to the top of level 64. These are the...

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 6). A smaller batch this week as there is less visible progress. Some of the forms have moved up on the top, with work on levels 68/69 or so. On the corners below, attachment points have been attached for the latest set of hangers to be installed to the floor of...

Here's another one, taken today, Tuesday (Sept. 3). The view is from Bloor Street across from High Park, between Oakmount and Pacific, west of Keele/Parkside.

Here's a photo I took Saturday (Aug 31) from Cliff Lumsdon Park in New Toronto (south Etobicoke). The view looks across Humber Bay, the Boulevard Club visible behind the left Sea Dooer.

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 30), with Air Show planes buzzing overhead... Since my post last week, nearly everything has moved up a level, and the windows for the ground floor retail as noted above now have had their covers removed, which had been in place since Nov./Dec. 2021. On top, the...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 23), with the exception of one taken yesterday. Lots of movement since I posted a week ago. The top blue scaffolds have all moved up one level, now to level 66 or 67. A milestone was achieved once level 66 was reached, at least according to the plan that I have...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 16). A dull day when I was shooting, but the tower is always a good subject. The blue scaffolds at the top have moved up a level since last week's post from me, up to level 65/66 or thereabouts. The corner blue scaffolds remain where they were before, level 57...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 9). Since my post last Friday, movement at the top, the blue scaffolds up a level as work gets up to level 65 or 66. The crane has been raised another segment, the new brace at level 60 in place, and two lower braces now removed. The corner scaffolds remain at...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 2). Since my last pile of photos last Friday, work at top has reached level 65 according to BloorMan, and with it, most of the blue scaffolds on top have moved up. With that, the crane has also risen, and I have some shots of them preparing to attach one of the...

Photos taken today, Friday (July 26). A rare week where virtually everything rose up a level or more - even the external elevator! So, since last Friday, the crane is up as are most of the blue scaffolds on top, having gone up a level or two, now around level 64, some 219 meters high at that...

Photos taken today, Friday (July 19). Since I posted last Friday, a lot of upward movement as they apparently have started on level 63. Much of the blue scaffolding has moved up a level on the top, as have the corner scaffolds, up to around level 55 or so, as the hanger sections near completion...

Photos taken today, Friday (July 12). Sorry for the large batch of 14 here... Since my post last Friday, a lot of progress all around on the tower. At the top, the super column forms and scaffolds have moved up a level, and the side and inside corner blue forms have now jumped the third...

Thanks 3Dementia for that golden repost of my shot above! Here is a more current photo of mine, taken yesterday, Sunday (July 7). From College and Queen's Pk Crescent, that's Whitney Block of Queen's Park on the left.

Photos taken today, Friday (July 5). Yeah I can attest to the crime at Yonge and Bloor. Just two weeks ago while taking photos of this building, someone stole my helmet from my parked bike! Had it on Yonge south of Charles, never in my decades of cycling has someone taken my helmet! But I got...

Photos taken today, Friday (June 28). Despite the reports about whether the project will be completed or is even viable anymore, it rises! At the top, forms have moved up since my update a week ago and they are at floor 61, maybe even 62. With the super-column forms moving up and some scaffolds...

Was leaving work on Front Street yesterday (Thu., Jun 26) and remembered that I saw some new signage in the food court under Simcoe Park directing people to something at 160 Front St. Wait a minute, I thought, isn't that the new TD Terrace? Is it now connected to the PATH network? So I took the...

Photos taken today, Friday (June 21). Since my post last week, the super-column forms moving up at the top as work progresses on levels 59 and 60, as well with the blue corner forms, now around level 53. Only one of the three Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) have moved up since last week, when they...

Photos taken today, Friday (June 14). Work continues at levels 59 and 60 at the top, and since last week, the blue corner forms have gone up a level (52?) as floors are poured around the new set of hangers on levels 51 to 56. The black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) continue their ascent: last...
