Ya, in terms of storey count, looks like they're working on #57 out of 91 ( or 85, who knows? ). In terms of overall height, they're substantially over half way due to the overall height of the first floor as well as floors 2 - 7. At the current pace, I would think this tops out by the end of the year?

If they continue at current pace i would guess they top out by end of February.

Ya, you're probably right. There's 38 weeks left in the year and to finish the final 34 floors might be a little ambitious. We'll see how the summer goes.

Yonge and Bloor (aka the Golden Corner or the Champagne Corner):

I think @Johnny Au uses these terms relative to this building, not the city. In other words, it is the golden corner of this building or this intersection in general.

My dude, read back in the thread rather than coming out all aggressively. It started as a bit of a joke, and it's continued.

Ervin's point seems to be along these lines:

That's cap man. Doing a quick search of the forum, that term has started coming up with regularity only last year and from one user.

Bloor Side:

Regarding the Golden Corner aka the Champagne Corner, that's what I call my vantage point that is kitty corner to The One. After all, that corner specifically has the most entrances to Yonge-Bloor station. It is also the best vantage point to photograph The One.

Usually, Part 2 of my many series of The One photos contains shots from that corner.
