I don’t even mind the fact that is black, but I agree, if that’s the final look, it leaves a little to be desired. We’ll see.

Lots of trucks lined up on Yonge St today. I saw them lifting some black rectangular object this morning while the police closed off traffic. The corners lower down got poured today and it looks like the forms for the columns for the next level are starting to go in. My picture taken from Yonge and St Clair shows how the One and 11 Yorkville compare.

Thank you.
I’ve seen that pic before but to me it is a bit inconclusive. Is it the glow of the lights? Look at the exterior to the elevator shaft further below. That portion we know is complete and is a “dark grey” but in that pic it appears the same golden as the mechanical levels.
That said, hope it turns out like that golden colour.

Yeah, I see, but I think it’s more likely incomplete because, the colour might be different because of different lighting, whereas the texture seems the same as on rendering, but at the mechanical level looks like texture is not the same, will see…

Eglinton Crosstown or One Bloor - which will finish first? (one Bloor still has about 7 more years to go....)

Some more bucket pouring at the top today. The blue protections down in the lower corners got raised a level. I was able to get a couple shots from a higher floor as well:

Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 26). Work still continues at the top, though the blue forms all seem to be at the same level they were at when I last posted a week ago - the top at level 58, the 3rd mechanical level, the corner blue forms at around level 49. Presumably slower progress due to being at the mechanical level. (Correction: BloorMan said some forms went up, indeed it looks like the NE and SE corner forms moved up a level since last week, around level 50 now.) Though if I read the plans correctly, this means the tower has just surpassed 200 metres, a milestone. Much more movement with the three Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs), all climbing up, revealing more of the notched shape of the tower. The east RCS up to level 23, the north and west RCSs up to level 22.
Starting with my usual update to my "time-lapse" album on Flickr, then views from the south, including the crane looking like a praying mantis over the tower! A shot from Balmuto to the west, showing the rising west RCS, from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor west of Yonge, then shots from Cumberland east of Bay showing the RCSs and 1st mechanical level, with crew. (Forgot to take the usual wide shot from there.) Finally, shots from the intersection of Yonge and Bloor, including a neat light effect - a double-reflection of the sun on the NE corner (also seen in the first shot).

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...

Your best set yet... and that's sayin' something.

Yonge & Bloor was an absolute mess today, what with construction taking up half the street (Bloor) and TTC replacement buses lining up to pick up/ drop off passengers (Line 2 was out of service due to issues in 2 different places ). Kudos to jer1961 for braving the crowd!
