Regardless, they're selling it to whoever can make a profit on it to pay off the debts the previous owner defaulted on as the goal. Whether they are successful in doing so is another matter.

^I wonder why it is that dudes in pickup trucks always have their arm out the window.

Because their penis is too small to hang out the window.

If anyone has wondered how @Johnny Au reproduces those identical angles in every post... I've discovered how he does it:

Hey just saying I drive a sedan and 90% of the time I have my arm out the window is probably because it's an older truck and the air conditioning doesn't work I know that was always our reasoning when I was a kid and it has just now turned into a habit of mine
or another thought most people that drive truck work construction and work out of their truck they're just used to their window will being open at all times

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 16). A dull day when I was shooting, but the tower is always a good subject. The blue scaffolds at the top have moved up a level since last week's post from me, up to level 65/66 or thereabouts. The corner blue scaffolds remain where they were before, level 57, the base of the third mechanical level. Meanwhile some movement with the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) below. The east RCS is now at level 38, the north level 37, each up one level, into the second mechanical section, while the west RCS remains at level 36. The crane has an extra brace added lower down, and the external elevator, now signed up to level 56 for a few weeks, has now added service to the third mechanical level, floors 57 and 58.
Starting with my Flickr "time-lapse" album addition, to views from the south, at Dundas, then closer, showing the emerging mega section between the first and second mechanical levels, and the crane and external elevator. A view from below across Yonge Street, then from Bloor and Balmuto to the west. Views from Cumberland, east of Bay. Views from Bloor east of Yonge, then from Bloor at Bedford - 1 Bloor E now almost obscured - and from Devonshire.

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...

It doesn't stand out as anything too special other than glass tower with diagrids on the corners with the occasional mechanical break on the way up to the top. The execution of love and materials has been superb though...making what is dull far less dull. And clearly falls in that category of how tall residentials should be done, IMO.
