What I'd like to know is, why I've never seen people using that pool area in all those pictures that Benito has posted. A question for Benito: have you ever seen that BE terrace being used??

The Yonge side shows only 1 of 2 pools at 1 Bloor East. There is another pool inside and there is a terrace on the other side of the building beside the gym that has barbecues that faces onto Bloor. It definitely gets used, it’s actually quite an impressive amenity area.

I see they have now started using mesh protection screens, didn’t notice those installed until now

I can't believe this thing is actually finally growing. The excitement of seeing a supertall go up before our eyes is finally setting in for me.

Looks like the last floor connecting the main tower to the elevators has no ceiling.
Would it be an open terrace ?

It's supposed to be a green roof that is accessed from the elevator over-run level.

i meant the private ones in the NW corner but yea the amenity area is beautiful. i think the pool could be a bit bigger even if the shape is less sexy. I prefer the function.

those private balconies though are a great size. I remember when i lived in a condo, my balcony held a wal-mart $89 bistro table and 2 chairs, that was it. These lower ones are bigger than backyards in new subdivisions. i never realized that when they were building it.

I wonder if hotel will charge extra for suits facing that green roof

Once the platforms around the super columns move up again they should be able to install the next set of hangers.

I've never known suits to fetch higher prices based on which direction they face. For that matter, I've never known hotels to sell suits.

Interesting to see the under the last poured floors there are no corner columns underneath them. Seems like it's the ones where the diagonal hangers begin/meet at that ceiling.

I unliked this so that I could like it again! I totally agree!!

You are correct, the corners are supported by the corner column and the floor beneath them, with load going down to floor where the hangers are attached. That floor is supported by the hanger and doesn't need a corner column underneath. Cool to see it all coming together.
