Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 25). Since my last post last Friday, windows completed for the 8th floor on the east and north side under the Rail Climbing Systems (RCS), with cladding also partly installed - complete on the east side, partly on the north side. The windows/cladding on the west side not yet placed, presumably as it needs to be coordinated with the west extension's cladding. And... the work site has pushed into Bloor Street, presumably to allow installation of a new sidewalk.
Photos: Starting with my weekly "time-lapse" photo, added to the album of the same name on Flickr showing progress from Oct 2020. Then, the progress of the window/cladding 8th-floor installation on the east (complete) and north side (partially done). With the tower on floor 37, I believe, working on the second mechanical levels, and the scaffolds now risen above the bottom of the latest corner hangers with netting now moved above those hanger levels, some wide shots and close-ups from Bloor by Holt Renfrew; from Cumberland east of Bay; from Yonge Street by the mall entrance north of Bloor. Finally, shots of the new placement of the site barriers into Bloor Street, the public sidewalk now over the Bloor bike path.

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...

I think the current milestone I am looking forward to is whenever the curtain wall reaches the first mechanical level

I feel like calling this the “golden corner/ champaign corner” is like trying to make fetch happen.

I dunno, I quite like "Champagne Corner". Let's throw our support behind that one and make it happen for realsies.I feel like calling this the “golden corner/ champaign corner” is like trying to make fetch happen.

Thanks for all the great updates! Definitely an exciting project. I can’t wait for it to eventually pop into my local perspective.
