From just now, The One is going to dominate this view when it reaches its full height:

The 91-storey version was fully approved, the 94-storey version was not (so six more storeys were granted, not the nine they were after).

In the meantime, while there have been major financial issues, there has been was no bankruptcy. The receivership was triggered by Mizrahi as partner Jenny Coco was refusing to sign on for any further borrowing to complete the building. Mizrahi saw the receivership as the only way to break the impasse, but once in control, the receiver wanted a more thorough house-cleaning than Mizrahi intended, hence the project is up for sale. It's yours for $1.2B (plus I assume some associated debt?)!

Thanks! I wonder what the chance of a re-application for more height in the future is?!

From this morning at 7:00 am (this is far earlier than I usually wake up, and the most tangible change from my previous OISE post is the corner forms moving up a floor)

Today from Yonge and Wellesley (In addition to the rising corner forms, I switched the watermark from my previous photo from this angle)

Today. The core is inching closer to 1BE’s height.

My third post on this thread today, with the reflected sunlight:

Do you have any ideas as to why I changed the watermark in my previous post?

Fantastic shot of a gorgeous tower.

Tonight. Not the best picture (daytime shot would be better), but almost all ground floor covering has been removed, revealing the super tall glazing for the first time in about 2 years. Does this mean retail is imminent? Or just a confirmation that there’s zero chance of Apple moving in (rumours persist despite the cancelation), so no need for secrecy while they fit out the space?

There’s this:

What other roller coaster is directly themed to an NFL team?

That's a good start.

The number I included in the watermark corresponds to a player I mentioned in the Pinnacle One Yonge thread, whose surname also corresponds to the New College building I sometimes take photos from.

Now for a few closer shots:

I had yet to shoot this angle from Balmuto:
