Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 15). Not much changed since my last post a week ago. None of the scaffolding has gone up, as the more-tedious work on the mechanical levels 37/38 continue. The one bit of progress to report is the installation of glass and cladding on the 9th floor behind the east and north Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs). Last week, glass was only installed on the south side, east of the crane. Now, the glass is almost completely installed on the east and north side; the cladding now seemingly fully installed on the east side, not yet on the north side.

My post starts with my usual "time-lapse" photo from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, followed by a wide shot from Cumberland east of Bay. No discernible differences in either from last week. Then, shots of the NE and NW corners under the RSCs, where we can see the progress of the glass and cladding installation on the 9th floor. Finally, a couple shots of the crane - hoisting something and its shadow against 1 Bloor E.

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...

Aren't they back on mechanical levels, which take much longer than regular floors?

If I am not mistaken, they are done with the mechanical section and they are working on the 39th floor (walls to support the 40th floor). Just like with the previous section (19, 20 floors), this will serve as a weight transfer section since the layout of the floors will change. There will be tons of lateral rebar in the walls as well.
