What I love about this pic the most is how similar it is to skyscraper construction sites in China. The massive ironwork going up paired with people on bicycles, almost looks like something from Shanghai.
The base width appears to be at least 5 meters smaller than 2 Bloor West which google maps measures as 37 m wide. I was curious to picture how a roughly 300m tall tower looks from street level so had a little sketch up fun by doubling 2 Bloor's current height. For comparison 432 park avenue in NY square base is 28.5 m wide. The one may not come close to 432's huge height to width ratio but is quite remarkable – The gold outline attempts to show the approximate proportion of The One. Anybody know what the actual width is? On a side note: 2 Bloor’s stacked/wedding cake mock up is reminiscent of BIG’s design for Two World Trade Center for some reason. It would have been cool to see that design also get built close to the current 2 world trade center. Oh well…hope you don’t hate my mediocre attempt at 3d modeling hah…pSmall and tall: Benito's first shot really reminds us of how small the tower footprint actually is relative to its height (some close-up renders makes it appear much bigger). This one will soar when complete.

Do you ever leave your place? If you live right there ya wanna take more ground shots... thanks. We appreciate it. One above shot is great and all but seeing as your literally right there. You should be the one taking all the pics from every angel. I would. No disrespect to you and do appreciate what you post. but just an observation that I had to ask. And laugh about.Today, some of the cross beams have been installed to connect the corners together.View attachment 277999View attachment 278000View attachment 278001View attachment 278002View attachment 278003View attachment 278004View attachment 278005
I'm quite interested to see where this goes from here. Do we see some large scaffolding reach up to pour the second floor slab? Does it just keep going up in steel for a while? What happens?
