Toronto One Bloor West | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

From today. They are laying the forms down for level 67.

Is Berkshire Hathaway involved in Toronto condos? Maybe the market isn't so bad after all :)
I'm pretty sure that was a reference to @BloorMan's first photo, with the realty centre at Bedford and Davenport.

When I took my photos and edited one of them, I honestly thought it was becoming like Yonge-Dundas Square with all the billboards and signage. Also, the player's name corresponds to the western continuations of Ursula Franklin Street and York Mills Road, respectively.
 
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 forms have moved up a level, as levels 67/68 are worked on. The hanger attachments on the super columns at the top of level 64 are now revealed, as the corner forms below have scaffolding for the corners above the 3rd mechanical level moving into place, which the hangers will eventually attach to. The south-east corner is the one corner where it looks like they are ready to pour, at level 59. Below, the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) show some movement, as the north RCS joins the east RCS at about level 39, the first floor of the 2nd mega-section between the mechanical sections. (Slightly below, actually.) Presumably we'll see the skin installed there soon, and more of the notched look of the tower emerge. The west RCS is up a level to 38, and the black mini "RCS" on the south side is still at level 37 where it's been for a few weeks. Finally, the crane has added a few sections, and the exterior elevator has added a few more levels, up to the 61st floor.

Way too many shots, my apologies. Starting with my usual "time-lapse" Flickr album update, then the view from Yonge Street, south at Alexander. In front of Holt Renfrew, to the west on Bloor, then a high-contrast shot from Balmuto. Shots from Cumberland east of Bay, at a near-diagonal. Shots of the 1st mechanical section, now showing more cladding, near its final look, a view of the more-visible 2nd mechanical level above, as the east and north RCSs rise. And some views of the cleared glass on the street level, that red Lululemon logo is just a reflection! The view from Bloor and Bedford with 1 Bloor E now almost hidden behind 1 Bloor W, another view from down Devonshire. And finally, the view from Queen's Pk Crescent, north of College.

After I spent much of last night waiting for someone to answer who the player I am interested in is, I took a few photos this morning:

Honestly, it feels like this addiction won't end before someone mentions who he is. That being said, this project is coming along nicely, and I hope it will be built to its full height.
 
I have been here for a relatively short time (just over two weeks), so I decided to show how much The One has grown over the past three and six months, respectively. I previously did something similar for a 12-month span here. This time, I decided to use OISE as my vantage point, to better show the tower's growth.

@Johnny Au I take these photos using the 3x telephoto camera on my Galaxy S23 Ultra. Also, this tower appears to have grown at a faster rate over the past three months than the three months before that. Any ideas as to who the player is?
