Nice aerial photograph of The One found on Reddit. What's most apparent is how prominent the hangars will appear on the skyline from a distance.

He's not. I agree its ugly. At the very least it could use a refresh.

And 2 people isn't exactly a crowd either...

....that said, 401 Bay should least tell us that refreshes are not always a good thing. So that's a careful what you wish for there. >.<

Soon enough, I might be able to photograph The One from the York Beltline Trail between Dufferin and Marlee!

I came here and saw this without the previous pages context and thought that there was a chorus of people who had suddenly come out of the weeds to claim The One is ugly and was very concerned

Yes, they have been working on the mechanical section for months if not more than a year since they first started on it. It is the first mechanical section so they must be discovering/learning how to best optimize their work process. Just like with other aspects of this building, the next section won’t take as long.

The colour palette of The One was probably intended to coordinate with 2 Bloor West.

They started working on the mechanical cladding in mid December.
