The site is proceeding at lightning speed. Some folks were anticipating the foundation is not ready until next year, but the crane and steel columns are already up in a few months.. It is amazing to see the progress made each week by the large crew coordinating different tasks in the project.

At the rate they're going, in a year from now this may well be out of the ground!

Woah! At the rate they're going, phase 2 will be done before the One is even at the tenth floor.

I thought those steel girders were the unearthed previous site foundations, or is that new construction? I assumed any new below grade construction would be concrete.

Is Phase 1 open to walk around now?

Main entrance hall and lobby is open by connecting to bus terminal and GO train platforms but taking elevators up to the main floors is required to have card to tap off the gates.

These are from the east, looking west across the site.

Asked workers on site if they were bottomed-out and ready to head up, was told 'yes', ' on the western side, but more digging to come on the eastern side.

Now from the west, looking east:

Holy moly!

If they've already reached bottom on the western end of the site, I can see those P-Levels start forming by early next year, if not sooner once they finish the east side.

Logo installation? You can't see it in the photo, but there is a splash of red just behind the swing stage.

I saw a large new CIBC logo sitting on the side of the QEW in Mississauga this morning on a flatbed truck - perhaps it was for here? It looked too small for the top of the tower though. We'll see.

Looks like it. They've already installed the new CIBC logo atop 2 Bloor West IIRC, so they seem to be in full swing with rolling this out across multiple properties,
