A little more clean-up work happening today. It was interesting to watch them strap all of the remaining cable spools to have the crane lift them all at once. I was a bit concerned they would damage the small column the reels banged into as they were being hoisted.

Today, finally the fog is gone.

Excellent documentation of the little things that we would never see otherwise. Cheers!

Thought I'd post some photos to show the progression of the tower during 2023... Three pairs of shots...

First pair - from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, taken Jan 6 and Dec 29.

Second pair - from by the old entrance to The Bay, on Bloor, east of Yonge... taken Jan 6 (never published before) and Dec 22.

Third pair, taken from Yonge and Dundas, on Jan 6 and Dec 15.

Back in early January 2023, the forms were at about the level of the first mechanical section, where the Rail Climbing Systems now reside, a year later.

So it's roughly 30+ floors a year........optimistically two more years............they may open the commercial part earlier hopefully.

The rate they are going right now is closer to 50 floors a year. They picked up the speed quite a bit later in 2023.

I expect this will top out early 2025 at the current rate, completion and occupancy likely late 2025 or early 2026.

It appears we might be getting the sidewalk back again in the near future.

How many more floors until they are level with you now? You don't look like you have to take that much of a downward angle anymore

Hard to say. Perhaps another 15 floors?
