I had the December 18, 2020 arch. plans saved to my computer. From what I can tell, most amenity space is on the 6th floor, with some on the 5th,
OK my window is a touch larger than that.

Man, that second pic looking up Yonge from Dundas really drives home how much the feel of this city would change if the street were fully pedestrianized - especially with all the new proposals (like this one https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/646-664-yonge-ks-646-yonge-75s-as-gg.34764/) that are retaining the historic streetfronts.All these photos were taken today, Friday. Included is this week's "time lapse" photo... and a long shot taken from Dundas (and Yonge) .... come to think, it'll be a big milestone when the tower is visible from Dundas - and Bloor!
And, yeah, one day I'll do a GIF... or make a true time-lapse video now that I'm up to almost 120 weekly images.
Here is the link to the updated "time lapse" album - Oct 2020 - Jan 2023
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...

Is it funded? I hope it doesn't become another "John Street Cultural Corridor".Good thing the City is more or less planning to do that between Queen and Gerrard Streets over the next few years, and eventually plans to extend it north to Bloor.. It won't be quite full pedestrianization but will basically be an extremely car-light street with minimal vehicle traffic for local access only on a woonerf-type street which also protects for the ability for the TTC to run buses overnight for the vomit-comet.

Thanks - yeah I'm aware of the current plans but seeing St Clair in the distance in that picture (and imagining the stunning buildings going up at that intersection that would be visible in the future when looking up Yonge) got me fantasizing about a smaller-scale version of La Rambla going from St Clair to Queen.Good thing the City is more or less planning to do that between Queen and Gerrard Streets over the next few years, and eventually plans to extend it north to Bloor..
