Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

[UtakataNoAnnex]

5th and 6th floors.

the first 2 floors are poured and “done”, the steel is up for the next two, and now they are putting the first bit of steel up for the 5th and 6th.

Oh, right...I keep forgetting there's that podium bit at the south end of this. 5th floor then!

...and thus I sit sorely corrected.

I mean, how much taller can it get?!?!?!

42

only another 1,000ft or so

This steelwork is really pushing me to my limit... As always best guess and I appreciate the varying angles.

What is louvre construction?

It's the addition of a glass pyramid.

Oops. Wrong Louvre

Can anyone with better skill than me on things like this make a better future view of The One from the DVP? This was my view coming downtown yesterday and I was curious how it would look like with The One added to the skyline. Truly dominating.

Ok, in my umteen years I've never seen so much steel in a residential project. I think she's going to hold....

This building almost makes me wish I'd kept working in civil engineering. It's just amazing to watch this go up.

That framework is the coolest thing I've seen in a construction project in all my 12.5 years lurking on here and following construction projects. Such a unique development to watch go up and it's gonna get so much better in the coming months.

For example, soon we'll be seeing the first hangar pieces.

Before the height was increased for 1 Bloor W, I kept daydreaming about 1 Bloor E being more elegant at 85s or 95s even. My visions are pictured below. Would you have liked this iteration instead, or would you rather the very tall guy, short girl couple to-be .Damned be this pervasive, height fixation, which has taken the better part of my life...

 

[Mercenary]

I like the fact that the One is much taller than its neighbour.

It gives a nice peak effect instead of that boring table top look of the financial district.

Your wish is my command

This is fun practice for me, the height is obviously approximate (some of the renders overstate the height.) It looks quite sharp without all the extra rendering flairs, exciting no matter the colour it'll be.

Staggered is nice.
