I remember when that small condo building to the right looked huge!

Got a lot of reaction a few weeks ago when I posted a photo of some of the tower's crew outside the tower. So, here are some shots of the guy I saw on the crane this past Friday. He was out there when they were attaching one of the crane brackets for the brace on floor 83 or so.... So, he's above that, at about 288 metres / 944 feet up on the side of the crane! Some of these shots aren't that sharp as they are extreme blow-ups...

That guy operating the crane just put something on the top of the building, not sure exactly what it is.
Sorry for the low image quality

Went over to take a look after I saw the above - viewed from Dundas at Sorauren today, Tuesday (Sept 23). Perhaps that was one reason for the crane to be raised - so the remaining blue scaffolds at the top can be placed on the roof (as seen above) briefly.... anyway, the blue scaffolds are now gone on the west face as work prepares, presumably, for work on the crown. Not sure what that taller object on the left side of the roof is.

I'm pretty sure that the crane was raised in order to build out the crown as the height that it was sitting at would not have given the operator overwatch I think we will see a similar scaffolding configuration at the top as we did when they built the ground floor as all of those supports of the crown will need to be temporarily supported while they are fastened I can't imagine those being light pieces of steel

Here are several photos I took of One Bloor West this morning, starting with a view from Cumberland while they were removing the blue scaffolding on the west facade, then a few photos after they had removed the last scaffolding panel:
I assume you are referring to the Uptown Residences, seen on the right in the following view from Balmuto Street:

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 26). Since the post I did last Friday, more progress on the tower, with all the scaffolding now removed from the top, the blue scaffolds on the east, north and west-facing sides now gone, after the corner scaffolds were taken down in the weeks before. Presumably we'll see some visible work start soon on the crown for the final stretch of the tower. Meanwhile, the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the building's skin have all crept as they close in on the top. The east and north RCSs are up a floor to level 70, within 14 floors of the roof. The west RCS is up a floor to 69, as is the south mini-RCS.
The usual pile of photos... with the side scaffolds now gone we can see some notches in the west and east faces, on levels 83/84 or so. A semi-circular hole in the roof visible on the west side.

One Bloor West (The One) "time-lapse"
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...

Photos of One Bloor West (The One) construction progress, including a "before" shot from 2011 and several from 2015 after the demolition of Stollery's. Notable for becoming Canada's first supertall building, i.e., over 300 metres (985 feet) tall. (The CN Tower does not fall under the definition...

Here are several photos I took of One Bloor West over the course of today, starting from along Bloor Street and from Sankofa Square this morning, then from Queen's Park early this afternoon, and from the 360 Restaurant this evening:
