The different light quality from within on the different sets of floors, one a cooler white light, and one a warmer, more yellow-hued light is quite peculiar. I'm sure we've seen this other buildings in the City, but rarely has it been so strikingly apparent that I recall. But perhaps I've missed a few high profile examples?

5-34 is CIBC and 49 which is the top floor. I think it might also be the use of the office. Microsoft has a few floors close to the top, but from the open office they did a couple months ago, it’s a lot of client experience/meeting spaces versus an office mainly geared towards working. The bits of yellow in the middle is likely the conference room floor, where half the floor are conference rooms that can be rented out by any tenant. The CIBC floors on the other hand are just the typical desks and monitors.

Thank God that ugly condo will be block out from at least a few angles soon. If not soon, at least at some point.

They also installed some kiosks similar to the ones at the Christmas Market on the park, maybe they'll host some events once the foodcourt opens. The foodcourt is now delayed until 'Spring 2023'

18 Yonge is clearly no masterpiece, but I'd suggest that FAR worse design crimes have been committed since that went up!

I don't know about far worse, but yes there are many other ugly buildings that have gone up, but we can't block them all out so we just have to be happy when one does get blocked out once in a while. Especially in a location like that.

18 Yonge is fine lol. Even back when it was built its short height and location allowed it to blend in. It's not a skyline killer like Daniel's Lighthouse Condos...

I will say though that the contrast to CIBC Square just across from it doesn't do it any favors.

Alright lets get back on track or we'll get in trouble...lol.

With Yonge close of to getting ground shots, left to getting closeup shot on Bay only now.

The steel work for the 2nd tower is a lot different so far with steel beams place across the core to help to support the steel work. One can say there are steel columns inside the core.

There one slab of steel about 4-6 inches sitting on top of columns with columns on top of it and no idea what it been use for. More steel up for the roof over the track with steel going up on the west end first..
