By this time next year they should be on floor 62.
Quite possibly, the variable is how long will the mechanical levels take? It was just under four months for the first ones, albeit over the holidays. Hopefully now that they've done it once it will be quicker...
 
Thanks for all of the updates, guys. As an SSP nerd for 2 decades, it's great to see Canada's first official Supertall!
What floor is currently being poured?

My apologies if I already asked this in an earlier post. Does anyone know if the concrete pump is able to lift the mix all the way up or if there are several intermediate pumps every few floors that boost the pressure?

It's probably a single pump to the top. Concrete pumps for a 1500 foot rise are sold.

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

it's a shame that banal 19 Bloor W proposal will essentially make The One invisible from the west side
The City has refused it on several grounds. Good luck to them.

Hey everyone, I have a question that has surely been asked and answered somewhere up the thread but I have no desire to scroll and find it. Concerning that shiny black band that currently wraps around the tower like a belt...what is it exactly?

I assume it has something to do with the cladding and glass because the floors below have them and the floors above are still exposed.

Photos taken today, Friday (July 21). Since I last posted last Friday, the tower's forms have gone up one floor, 35th or 36th now, all the scaffolding on the corners of the mechanical floors are gone, the fifth set of hangers were installed on Wednesday and Thursday judging by other postings here, and some more of the ceiling cladding on the ground floor has been installed, with visible cables presumably for signage or lighting.

The photos: after the wide beauty shot, some shots of that new ground-floor ceiling cladding. Then the "notches" as I called them on the corners of the mechanical level, all now scaffold-free. Does anyone know why the SE corner has that diagonal ledge, unlike the other corners? And some views from Bay and Cumberland where, as others here have already posted, we get a pretty good unobstructed view for the upper levels. A final wide shot from near the mall entrance on Yonge.
