Directly below this drone, One Bloor West's uppermost steel members reach for the sky. At centre, the roof of the chamber that holds the supertall building's tuned mass damper, in place to counteract the sway that would otherwise be caused during high winds. On every side of it: the skeletal structure of the tops of the megacolumns that hold the building up over 300 metres tall, soon to be clad in the same champagne-toned anodized aluminum that sheaths the rest of the tower.
