A little sad as this crawls past eye level of your perch, but much to look forward to as corners are completed, and curtain wall installed, and lights turned on…

Here is another "where can I see The One from now" shot... Just barely! Taken yesterday, Wednesday (May 31), From the Wallace bridge, which is at Dundas north of Bloor, you can see the blue scaffolding just starting to peek out near the base of 1 Bloor E, the crane plainly visible....
AND.... two shots I just dug up, taken April 25, 2015, after Stollery's, the previous occupant of the site, had been torn down! (Demolition started, with much controversy, in January 2015.) TBT!

Without the blue scaffolding, it would be very hard to spot The One. But by the end of the year, it should be a lot more visible.

I was hoping they would pour another level tomorrow but it doesn't appear it's ready. I'm not sure, but does this look a little different to anyone?

So what’s the delay in adding more cladding? It has been a few weeks with seemingly no visual progress on the glazing.

As can be seen from the photos above, cladding work can’t continue till the construction of the protective/work platform is done. This requires street closures and other logistical issues that have to be scheduled. See the post #14799 for dates when the will likely do this.

Today. They seem to have picked up the pace here.

The race is on to reach past Mr/ Benito's perch. First the tower structure, then the corners and now the cladding...

Photos taken today, Friday (June 2). Up one more level since I posted last weekend, as can be seen by the various views. Are we on 30/31 now? Looks like the crane will soon by raised, and it seems the rest of the hanging platforms will be added over the weekend and on the other days as per that construction work notice posted here the other day. Along with the "time-lapse" update photo and south/east/west elevation shots, a closer view of the mechanical floor now that the scaffolds have been raised, and a closed-down aperture shot that admittedly features 1 Bloor E more than 1 Bloor W... The south elevation shot was taken on Yonge Street at Alexander.

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...

It looks like the 31st floor has been prepared and it will likely get poured Monday.
