i believe The One's approved height is 308.6m, whereas 1 Bloor E is 257m - so The One will be at least 51m taller. And then if the proposed height of 338m is approved it'll be 81m taller.

Ohhh my bad. That's just me not reading things properly, oops haha

The super column cladding looks positively golden in some of these shots. I love them!!

I think it's mainly lighting and angles that create the different shades that we see on that cladding.

This might be the best skyscraper that has gone up in Toronto since the boom started in 2005. CIBC Square is good too but it is too short.

Not sure they're going to install those light features on the diagrids (unless they've embedded them discretely somehow). But I am not sure they're really needed either.

I hope they don’t.

Slightly unrelated question, I'm curious about the purpose of the third aspect (green globe) on the traffic signals at Bloor and Yonge. It seems that normally the straight arrow is used especially with the turn restrictions. Does anyone know when the green globe is used, or if it is just a leftover from before?

They lost one day to rainy weather. Otherwise they would have poured this floor today and maintain their 7 working days per floor cycle.

About 12-15 months ago, I suggested they would get to pouring a floor per week eventually, and more than one person told me I was dreaming in technicolor.

This building is looking all dolled up, and ready to go out on the town.

I mean ready to paint the town champagne.

A couple of years ago or so...certain folks where trolling that it would never get built. And yet, here we are.

Photos taken today, Friday (May 5). The fourth level of hangers were being put up when I arrived, late afternoon. Some shots of the installation of the hangers on the SE corner, and unhooking of the crane cable. The NE corner had also been installed, the two other corners on the west side not yet installed as of about 5pm. Also shown, all the cladding now up on the east side, with some of the covering still in place.

Also included, the latest "time-lapse" photo, added to my Flickr album Oct 2020-May 2023:

The One (1 Bloor West) "time-lapse"

From October, 2020, as above-ground construction started in earnest at The One (1 Bloor W.) in Toronto. More or less a weekly photo usually taken on a Friday, with some gaps during early-on construction hiatuses. The initial photographs are from 2015, during demolition at the site, 2018, during...
