Why cities aren't requiring "hidden" antennas (unlike parks) is beyond me these days . Each of the eight struts on the roof of the OBW could easily house a directional mobile antenna behind a facade. Because they are directional, they don't need to extend the height of a building.

Is it safe to say the top of those beams is the FINAL height of the building?

Yes, there's a bit of facade/cladding and such to go on to cover those up, a couple feet worth of build-up, but that's basically the top.

It will be cool we should start to see more and more of the crown taking place they generally don't like to leave steel sitting on the deck too long so we may start to see the TMD enclosure getting built in the next few days

...they appear to have more of those beam thingies stacked on the core waiting to be placed somewhere from Mr. hawc's pics there.

RE: SPIRES - I do like your thinking but personally I think you've got the spires on the wrong tower.

Horizontal beams.

Yup I think also because it's been topped off a while then all of a sudden these go up it's an abrupt increase in height as usually we gotta wait gradually for floors to go up.

Stand alone I don't think it would look as tall but because it's next to 1 Bloor east it appears to add a substantial height gain over it

Not sure if this has been posted yet, it's from June.

Video shows some production of the windows and panels for One Bloor West. The panels for The One were built in Vietnam not locally.

One Bloor West adding nicely to that gorgeous Riverdale Park view! Gonna look so much more epic with all the development proposed for the Yonge corridor.
