It needs to, they have lots of catching up to do with the glass. Especially if the pours are going keep up the once a week pace…

I think that the goal isn't to keep pace with the pour. I think they are trying to stay one mechanical level down in order to ensure they can move materials into the floors they have just completed. It's just a thought but seems like it picked up the moment the second mechanical level was finished

Today's update. We won't be seeing a floor pour until Monday, most likely.

Today, caught while the blue forms at the top were moving up a level.

They finally have gotten to doing the Bloor sidewalk.

Not much happening at the top today. The weather will be a factor going forward. Looks like the crane will need lifting soon too.

Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 1). Not ideal conditions here with rain turning to snow as I came to shoot these. But it really now seems to be racing up. At the top, are we at level 47? Now past the half-way point in height? The forms on the top have all moved up one level since I posted last Friday, save for the corner blue forms which presumably are pausing at the 2nd mechanical levels. All the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) have gone up, with the east RCS going up two levels to install the skin of the 15th floor, while the north and west RCSs moved one level to do the 13th floor. We've not seen an RCS go up that fast before, and the east RCS is no longer in lock-step with the others. The south face now has glass all in on level 15 and partly in at level 16 (to the right of the crane, that is), so it will be interesting to see, once the east RCS hits level 16 whether it will rise again or pause, as I've been told will happen.
The usual addition to my Flickr "time-lapse" album, followed by views from the south. The skin is done on the 12th floor now (save for some cladding on the south side), with glass now newly in place on the 15th and 16th levels on the south side. A wide shot showing the east side, the skin now visible up to level 14 , then views from the west on Bloor in front of Holt Renfrew, those RCSs now higher. Then from Cumberland east of Bay, the first mechanical levels starting to be hidden by the three RCSs. The view east along Bloor, and views of the tower from the NW corner.

The One (1 Bloor West) "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...

Monday update. Good progress but they quit early???

I would imagine because the cement trucks haven't shown up yet. So supply is a bit out of whack with demand here, so they all went home for an early dinner?

My major concern for this project is that construction is put to a halt until all these lawsuits are sorted out which could be years. They have barely past half way of the height of the building and it is only going to get that much more complex from here, plus winter is coming so major slowdown in the pace. If the building was closer to completion and towards the top of the height then the lenders would probably let the building be built to the top and then deal with all this legality. They are far from the point of no return.

IMHO, 90% of the complexity has already been dealt with. From here on in, the only thing new will be the very top.

I'm no construction lawyer, but I don't think this particular spat has the potential to delay the project.
