Photos taken today, Friday (June 9). A lot here as I'll be out of town for a few weeks. The usual "time-lapse" photo added to my album on Flickr... Seems there was a crew of UT photographers today capturing the new crane section and attachment beams! My contribution, from the ground floor. Also...

Photos taken today, Friday (June 2). Up one more level since I posted last weekend, as can be seen by the various views. Are we on 30/31 now? Looks like the crane will soon by raised, and it seems the rest of the hanging platforms will be added over the weekend and on the other days as per that...

Here is another "where can I see The One from now" shot... Just barely! Taken yesterday, Wednesday (May 31), From the Wallace bridge, which is at Dundas north of Bloor, you can see the blue scaffolding just starting to peek out near the base of 1 Bloor E, the crane plainly visible.... AND...

Well, I am pretty sure this view hasn't been posted before, the latest in the "where can I see 1 Bloor from now?" department, I took these today, Saturday (May 27) at Bloor and Madison, a block east of Spadina. With the recent floors being poured, we can now see the tower rise above 77 Bloor St W.

Photos taken today, Friday (May 26). Shots include the west side truss, now with 5 hanging platform sections. Presumably the remaining 4 for each of the three sides will be installed starting this weekend. Also, shots of the blue forms for the hanger corner sections being raised on the last...

Photos taken today, Sunday (May 21). Looks like a bunch of us were there around the same time, thaivic looks like you were there the same time, BloorMan shortly afterwards! A lot up since my last post two days ago. The third truss with two hanging platform sections were all put up on the west...

Photos taken today, Friday (May 19). They were raising sections of the third truss for assembly on the roof of the south section of the complex when I was there. Perhaps as I am writing this, they are raising the completed truss to the west side, attaching to the brackets there. As seen in the...

Photos taken today, Friday (May 12). Since my last set of photos a week ago, the 4th level of hangers placed on the west side with the corner sections adding a floor each pretty well, and another level on top poured - 28th? 29th? I was told a few weeks ago that the truss for the west side might...

Photos taken today, Friday (May 5). The fourth level of hangers were being put up when I arrived, late afternoon. Some shots of the installation of the hangers on the SE corner, and unhooking of the crane cable. The NE corner had also been installed, the two other corners on the west side not...

The latest instalment in "where can you see The One now?" Here is the view from Dundas and Sterling, west of Lansdowne, by the bridge over the Barrie GO line (where the Davenport Diamond project is).... today, Wednesday (May 3).

Photos taken Sunday (April 30). Came down to the site during the heavy rain on Sunday afternoon as they were raising the fifth platform section to hang from the truss on the east side. I was told there will be nine sections to a side, with additional corner sections so the exterior will be...

Photos taken today, Friday (April 28). The second truss now installed on the east side, more of the platforms added to the north side, and the blue forms at the top moved to allow the installation of the third truss on the west side. (A different system to be installed on the south side because...

Photos taken today, Sunday (April 16). A big day as the first rail climbing system truss was installed, and (as seen in thaivic's post above) the first suspended working platform of, I believe, six for the north side. The skin will be added to the building behind all this and the rail climbing...

Photos taken today, Saturday (April 15). Sorry, maybe too many photos these past few days! Lots going on today, with the RCS (rail climbing system) platform being installed on the north face of the tower. Two bracket things added on each side, on top of each other. Then four large sections will...

Photos taken today, Friday (April 14). Looks like there may be some overlap here - surprised skycandy and I didn't trip over each other! But I gotta include my identical wide shot, the update for my "time lapse" album on Flickr...

Photos taken today, Wednesday (April 12). Another big post, given the interest shown here in the cladding being installed. Thanks for the kind words about that last one, btw! First up is a set of photos of the first complete vertical section of cladding, with the added bonus of the top...

Photos taken today, Friday (April 7). A few more than usual as construction takes on a new phase with the cladding. It's becoming clear that the intersection of Bloor and Yonge will be bathed in warm light when it is clear skies - a lot of building reflections and ambient light there. The colour...

First two pieces put up this afternoon, Tuesday (April 4). Seems to be two parts of a three-part section. A crate pictured below holds the three parts presumably for the mirror section on the east side, or maybe the nw corner which has the insulation already in place. Another crate shows...
