okeeee I stand corrected. I think it’s the lack of outdoor space that I absolutely despise about “apartment” style projects that’s likely having me think of palace pier. While they’re great buildings with great grounds I wouldn’t want to live in a space I couldn’t sit and get some sun on my face. I am liking one Bloor more as readers share photos of it from different angles - it’s just not a livable building IMO

Photos taken today, Friday (Oct. 3). Some incremental movement upward since I posted a week ago. No new activity visible at top where work on the crown will start soon, presumably, at least from the perspective of the streets and sidewalks below. The west and south Rail Climbing Systems installing the skin have both moved up to join the east and north ones at level 70. And on the south face we can see glass and cladding now up to that level, completing (at least visually) one of the diagonal six-floor sections.

I've included as the last shot a different view, from High Park Avenue, north of Bloor, 1 Bloor W just barely in it, but a kinda interesting perspective. Taken Saturday.

Was looking at the crane operators insta this morning looks like they have got all of the scaffolding fully disassembled so we may start to see a little bit more movement at the top now

Here is one photo I took of One Bloor West from outside OISE earlier this afternoon:

Using ImmensleyMental's photo above, here's an attempt to see where it's going to end up

Wishing Tridel had gone taller with this one. My mind is mentally adding the missing section to the top and it would have looked so much more balanced and complete.

Just a minor nitpick on what is otherwise a stunning addition to the skyline.

I’m looking at this completed section on top every day and I think the more I look at it the more I like it. And I’m starting to think that might be looking better than taller version would, I think it looks more unconventional this way, maybe its imbalance and disproportion makes it more recognizable and unique. Who knows what will we say in years

Who knows what will we say in years

Very quickly everyone will get used to it as if it was always part of the skyline and always meant to look this way. It won't be long until it becomes part of Toronto heritage. And similar to the art deco masterpiece that is College Park - for which only a podium was built instead of a grandiose skyscraper before economic hardship had brought the project to a premature stop - few people would ever know that The One is just a stub of what it was meant to be.

Difficult to call a 308m tall building a "stub". We merely lost 20m in total overall height as the final approval from the city for the height increase was 328m. But you are correct, ~99.9% of the people that will look at the tower won't know that it could've been taller!
