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

Said it once and will say it again.

While Skytower will win the height battle, this building wins the war IMO. It's such an aesthetically pleasing building and having such a tall building at north end of DT gives our skyline that much more credibility at giving Chicago a run for the #2 spot in North America.
The lighting on One Bloor West will also look much better than Pinnacle One Yonge.

According to this video from Mizahi Developments 7 years ago they will have custom lighting like the CN Tower (at 22:50)

If you look back in the thread I'm pretty sure that the lighting for the building got VE''d out It would have been really nice though and we could possibly be wrong now that tridel has taken over

No one has really said anything said about it since that video. Not when the towers was being constructed under Mizahi, then under the receiver or now Tridel. So if it got VE'd out, it wasn't likely under the latter two's watch or least alone.
 
Apologies for the repost. Felt it was appropriate today.

Photos taken today, Friday (July 4). Since I posted last Friday, the work on the corners has moved up all around the tower, to level 80. Presumably, the inset blue forms at the top will soon be removed as the corners rise. Also, presumably, the final look of the top will start to take shape once the corners reach level 85. I guess those two beams were attached last week for a purely ceremonial purpose - to surpass that 300m threshold - as the tower wouldn't have otherwise risen until those corners reached the top. (Oh, and to beat any other projects closing in on the height going up down the road...)

Further down, the east Rail Climbing System (RCS) installing the skin is up one floor to level 64, the north and west RCSs remaining at level 63.

Starting with the view from Yonge and Dundas, moving up to shots around Charles and Yonge, including shots from Charles west of St Nicholas and a shot from the alleyway off Balmuto. Then a view of the top from up Balmuto, then from Cumberland east of Bay with a tighter shot of the top showing those corner floors at level 80 being worked on. The view from the NE corner of Bloor and Yonge follows with lotsa glare, a shot from the bank entrance nearby, and a closer look at the east RCS and the top. Then, from Wellesley west of Church, from College and Queen's Park, then from Victoria College. Finally, a shot from the west, the tower in the distance over the sidewalk at Bloor and Perth near Dundas West.
