Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Nov. 8). Up to the core of level 75 or 76 or so on top, with level 73 emerging from under the blue scaffolding, up a floor from my weekly post last Friday. When it hits 77, that's the next mechanical level, so it will be interesting to see how it proceeds from there. The corner forms are mostly where they were last week, around level 62. The east and north Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) below have moved up a level, as the skin is installed on level 46, as seen on the south face.
Starting with view from Yonge and Dundas, moving up to Yonge and Charles or so, with a wide shot and then a closer look at the south face where glass is now on level 46. The view from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor west of Yonge, and a tight shot of the NW corner of the first mechanical level where the newly installed louvres can just be seen through the scaffolds and mesh. Next, the view from Cumberland east of Bay, including a tighter shot of the top, and of the RCSs below. Then, the "classic" view from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, from a bit east of there by the old Bay entrance, and an oblique shot of the RCSs and above from right under. Then, the view from Devonshire to the west, from Queen's Park Crescent W and Hoskin, from College and Queen's Park Crescent, and finally another shot from Bloor and Dundas to the west, not as interesting as the one I posted the other day, but still a lot of sunset there!
I see that B1M used one of my photos as well as BloorMan's and Johnny Au's. My shot - not sure if there any others they used - is up for all of 10 frames, so I'm not that concerned about its usage. But isn't that your shot, BloorMan, used for the thumbnail? It's neat to see our photos there, on a video that now has more that 600,000 views!

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...

Looks like they are doing the columns for first level of the last mechanical penthouse.

I think there is one more floor to go before we get into the next mechanical

I know I'm old, but I remember the days when the Manulife Centre dominated the Bloor Street skyline. What a change!

The columns are much higher then normal as per second last photo which would indicate that they are at the first level of mechanical floor, i could be correct or incorrect, regardless its moving up at a good pace.
