Soon enough, I might be able to photograph The One from the York Beltline Trail between Dufferin and Marlee!

Here it is!

He's not. I agree its ugly. At the very least it could use a refresh.

I came here and saw this without the previous pages context and thought that there was a chorus of people who had suddenly come out of the weeds to claim The One is ugly and was very concerned

Yes, they have been working on the mechanical section for months if not more than a year since they first started on it. It is the first mechanical section so they must be discovering/learning how to best optimize their work process. Just like with other aspects of this building, the next section won’t take as long.

The colour palette of The One was probably intended to coordinate with 2 Bloor West.

They started working on the mechanical cladding in mid December.

...they also have a lot more exposed surface area to cover exponentially on those mechanicals.

But if people want to think that workers go up there to nap all day shielded from the cold wind and prying eyes as the reason of it being stuck at that level, they are free to do so. I just think it's a case of paving the sidewalk then having to pave a field...to which isn't going to as done quickly by far with the latter.

Maybe so for the current phase of the work but they started installing metal fixtures and doing other preparatory work as early as last spring. Here is an example, look at page 1025.

Today, they finished installing the level 53 forms and a bit of rebar...and then there was snow!!!!
