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

Pinnacle One has vastly more floors and a greater height to climb. While The One has a fraction of floors left even if it stalls at the mechanicals and even if they push to 91 stories. I think the winner of this race has already been decided, IMO.
 
Here are some shots taken today, Tuesday (Dec. 3), from the east. The first shot from Danforth and Woodbine shows 1 Bloor W emerging from behind 1 Bloor E, and the second shows the same from Danforth and Pape. The last two reflection shots are from Bloor and Church or so.

Closer to 175m, the halfway point. Prestige next door is 216m for quick reference.


Even at a productive pace of 1 floor (~3m height) added each week, it would not top out for another 13-14 months.

Oh damn I really should've looked it up before talking out of my ass 😭
Thanks for the clarification 👍

To be clear, stalling here is slowing down in construction considerably..like with the other mechanical floors below this. Because this is much more entailed and concrete & rebar heavy process to build than the rest of the residential floors. They don't actually stop working on this...just the time to make these floors seems to stretch into weeks rather than days.
 
I apologize if this was already posted but I don't remember seeing it. Another video on the building:
