Quite possibly the earliest I've ever seen cladding on a tower compared to its vertical progression.

i wonder if it will be a corner bent piece of glass, the remaining length looks to be 1/2 panel so this would be make sense and be 1 hell of a statement.

I highly doubt it - the support structure met at right angles as well - and from what we can see the glazing attached right onto it. If it is one curved piece the curved portion won't be attached to that structure.
EDIT: At second look - maybe not, but we shall see!

Retail leases make half the value of this building, so opening the retail early would take massive pressure off loans.
Perhaps they intend to finish the space over Winter/Spring for a Summer 2022 opening. The south podium is also progressing quickly and has the other pieces required for an early retail opening (freight elevator, etc.)

You must be a glass half full kind of guy! Full of optimism! My guess would be 2030 (fully and properly finished, not “occupancy”, where the balconies wouldn’t be finished for another two years a la one bloor east)!

I'm a pessimist, but I believe this building will top out before the end of next year.
"at this rate"
There's no reason to believe it will continue at this rate.

Also from Mr. Daispar's linked article above:
"Called a transfer slab or transfer beam, the complex undertaking is one of the most important, and longest to complete, tasks in the construction of a multi-storey building."
(Emphasis mine.)
...they seem to be at that stage. So of course they'll be slow for now.

See this post; and the associated front page story (not by me, LOL)
The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners
Here's some more baseless speculation: Under Mizrahi's financing agreement, a funding tranche is contingent on a key milestone -- installation of the first glass.
The Front Page story, was here:
UPDATED: Retail Glazing Appears as First Finishes for Mizrahi's The One | UrbanToronto
On the southwest corner of Yonge and Bloor in Downtown Toronto, every step in the complex construction process of Mizrahi Developments' The One has been exciting. Now, the building has reached another important milestone—its first exterior finishing material is being installed—the very precisely...

They are *way* bigger in real life. Something to be seen in person if you can:

Nay, it will be a temple of worship that will be collecting plenty of tithe (to put it mildly).
