I agree that the name will probably be mispronounced, but to touch on @afransen point on the 6 syllable name, "Minising" roughly means island (Ojibwe dictionary), while "Ookwemin" is what means black cherry tree (Ojibwe dictionary). It's likely that most people will simply reduce the name to...

According to TMU, the project recently broke ground and is set to open next year.

Quite a bit of progress over one month for the west building... not as much for the east building... Close-ups to show how many storeys they're now at: West building, west tower is now building the 10th storey, east tower building its 8th storey East building is now completing the third storey...

From Scarlett Road and Eglinton at the construction office site for the Eg West LRT extension, very clearly taller than 1 Bloor E from here. Should be a nice view from Scarlett Station once complete

Been a bit since my last update of the Scarlett Rd portal and station. The roof of the TBM shaft has been completed, I think it was just waterproofed (with tar by the smell of it). As well (no photos) the track bed of the portal ramp appears to be about a metre below the current access road...

Yes, I am aware that Aura is at Gerrard as well. I was just remarking on two points (which I probably should have mentioned): 1. The third tallest building in Canada will be located almost directly halfway between the 1st and 2nd tallest, and 2. that Gerrard and Yonge is not the most expected...

Yes! I had forgotten about it when I posted! And at Gerrard of all streets!

Did a quick visit today as part of a long walk. The quay certainly is very popular, and has some fantastic views! The skyline from here seems very empty when you can't see much of the Financial District Great location for plane-spotting (no, the plane was not landed yet, I snapped the photo...

Taken from Queens Quay at Yonge St. I have to say it's pretty awesome that the two tallest skyscrapers in Toronto will be on the same street at opposite ends of downtown! PS: If you look very closely on the left photo you can see 1 Bloor East just poking out, just slightly shorter than The...

The white corrugated panels look flat and grey from Front and Parliament. I wish that the pink/red coloured concrete went further up the building so there was more colour to see.

West building looks like it has completed the podium and has now started on the towers, with the west tower starting the 8th storey, and the east tower just completing the ceiling of the 6th/floor of the 7th storey. East building is still quite far behind, with the second storey still being...

View from Buttonwood Park (~10 km ENE of Bloor-Yonge). Barely any difference between The One and One Bloor East from this view, almost couldn't tell if it was there (Photo on the left is 30x zoom, right is ~29x)

In honour of that RFP being issued: an update on the Scarlett Portal: Tunnel wall construction continues and (not in photos as there were workers whose faces would be in the picture)) the walls of the actual portal are nearly finished And in this photo you can see the little detail on the...

Just to add: the community centre (specifically in reference to the land lease for the Somali Centre) will be reconsidered on October 1st by the Exec. Committee: https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.EX16.4# P.S. And yes, it is very much racist, the community to the south...

Here's a comparison between what it looks like now and the rendering: And with a (rough) drawing to show the second entrance Its hiding in the background, you can just barely see some of the glass beside the pillar

Walked by the Scarlett portal this afternoon, looked like they were starting to pour the walls of the two tunnels Also walked by the project offices, looked pretty busy at the open house, but couldn't pop in as the dog was wanting to get home 🐶

This one certainly is moving along slowly. West building is now working on the 5th storey. And looks like the eastern portion is just starting on the second story

Little update on construction at the Scarlett Portal: Both TBM's have been fully removed, and concrete has been poured for the floor of the portal View of the completed roof of the portal just behind the headwall of the ramp Retaining wall for the ramp section is continuing along, with an...

From the CN Tower, it's begun to peak its head above, once it tops out most of the view of the new Don River Valley will be blocked from the tower
