Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 27). No visible progression at all this week compared to my post from last Friday, so this time a few different angles as well a few of the set shots I normally take. Lotsa moody light with the tower disappearing into the clouds...

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Dec. 20), a chilly day with light snow falling. Since my update post a week ago Friday, more progress on the tower. Though they still seem to be working on the 4th mechanical levels (floors 77 & 78) on top, some of the blue scaffolding has moved up, on the side...

Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 13). A smaller update this week as little has happened in terms of physical progress on the exterior, in sharp contrast to all the court developments! The blue scaffolds on the top and on the corners remain where they were last week, as do the black Rail Climbing...

Photos taken today, Friday (Dec. 6). Since my update post last Friday, some movement on the tower, though not on top where it seems they are continuing work on the 4th mechanical levels, 77 and 78. As for the blue corner scaffolds below, they are up a level to around level 66, starting to...

Here are some shots taken today, Tuesday (Dec. 3), from the east. The first shot from Danforth and Woodbine shows 1 Bloor W emerging from behind 1 Bloor E, and the second shows the same from Danforth and Pape. The last two reflection shots are from Bloor and Church or so.

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 29). A lot of movement since my last update post last Friday. Though the centre core still looks like it is at the 4th mechanical level on floors 77 & 78, just about everything else has gone up, save for the crane and external elevators. The blue scaffolds on top...

Taken at twilight today, Tuesday (Nov. 26). Love the light on the glass and cladding.

Funny... I was just about to post these when I saw Briggs' post above! Here is the view from the Wallace Street bridge, near Bloor and Dundas (north of Roncy), the first view is from Sunday (Nov. 24, 2024), the second is from Oct. 29, 2023 (also a Sunday)! Of course, 1 Bloor W isn't the only...

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 22). Since my update a week ago, the core at the top is higher, and it seems to be at the 4th mechanical level, which would be levels 77 and 78. If so (please correct me if I am wrong), then the tower would be at 272 metres, tying 1BW for the 4th-highest building...

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 15). A smaller update than usual as since my last one a week ago, there has been little visible progress. At the top, the blue forms remain at level 75 or 76 or so, with level 73 emerging from the super column forms. No movement up with the crane or external...

Photo taken Friday (Nov. 8), rebar on project with Picasso condo in distance.

Some shots taken on Friday (Nov. 8).

Here's another from Friday.

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Nov. 8). Up to the core of level 75 or 76 or so on top, with level 73 emerging from under the blue scaffolding, up a floor from my weekly post last Friday. When it hits 77, that's the next mechanical level, so it will be interesting to see how it proceeds from...

Took this photo as the sun set today (Sun. Nov. 3). Should be seeing more spectacular sunset reflections as the west Rail Climbing System rises, revealing the skin, now around level 44. This will be a new landmark to see once done... Taken east of Dundas on Bloor. Also included is a similar...

Photos taken today, Friday (Nov. 1). Since I posted last Friday, not much progress apparent with the tower, at least externally. A few of the blue forms for the corners have moved up a level, to floor 62 or so. And some glass has been added to level 45 on the south side. Otherwise the blue forms...

Photos taken today, Friday (Oct. 25). A dull day with drizzle at times... Since my post last Friday, the scaffolds at the top have moved up a level as has the core, to around level 74 or 75, it seems. For sure, we are seeing level 72 now emerging from under the super-column forms. Whatever the...

Taken late this afternoon, Wednesday (Oct. 23). The view from Dundas and Sterling, west of Lansdowne. It looks pretty clear now that the core of 1BW has surpassed 1BE, at least in my opinion!

My latest set of weekly shots, taken today, Friday (Oct. 18). Just about everything but the crane has gone up a level since last week. At the top, the blue forms have moved up and the core looks like it might be at level 75, which is even with 1BE more or less... I've heard nothing definitive on...

Thanks Olives! It's been fun to watch the progress of 1 Bloor W, and it seems we are in the final stretch with around a dozen floors left to pour. I've done this before, and here is another retrospective look. I started doing (mostly) weekly updates starting October 2020, so with the 4th...
