Thanks for the insight @zang @UtakataNoAnnex @fanoftoronto !
Guess I'll just have to do a lot of spamming and shit-posting from now on to get there! lol I'm kidding of course.

Or you can buy a condo in downtown near a new development, and post daily updates! That way you get posts and a high reaction score!

Like @Benito ! Or @thaivic ! Or @BloorMan

I'd love to, (born and raised in TO) but unfortunately I've been living in Los Angeles for the past 7 years and this is my gateway to all the changes in Toronto. I swear, if it weren't for UT, every time I come back to visit my family I wouldn't recognize anything. It's truly amazing.

A little sad as this crawls past eye level of your perch, but much to look forward to as corners are completed, and curtain wall installed, and lights turned on…

Here is another "where can I see The One from now" shot... Just barely! Taken yesterday, Wednesday (May 31), From the Wallace bridge, which is at Dundas north of Bloor, you can see the blue scaffolding just starting to peek out near the base of 1 Bloor E, the crane plainly visible....

AND.... two shots I just dug up, taken April 25, 2015, after Stollery's, the previous occupant of the site, had been torn down! (Demolition started, with much controversy, in January 2015.) TBT!

Without the blue scaffolding, it would be very hard to spot The One. But by the end of the year, it should be a lot more visible.

I was hoping they would pour another level tomorrow but it doesn't appear it's ready. I'm not sure, but does this look a little different to anyone?

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

Are they on the next mechanical level already

Nope, six more to go.

So what’s the delay in adding more cladding? It has been a few weeks with seemingly no visual progress on the glazing.

So what’s the delay in adding more cladding? It has been a few weeks with seamlessly no visual progress on the glazing.

As can be seen from the photos above, cladding work can’t continue till the construction of the protective/work platform is done. This requires street closures and other logistical issues that have to be scheduled. See the post #14799 for dates when the will likely do this.

 

[Benito]

Today. They seem to have picked up the pace here.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

The race is on to reach past Mr/ Benito's perch. First the tower structure, then the corners and now the cladding...

...with all respective workers waving "bub-bye" as they fly up past said perch. <3
