so in theory we should top out in 45 - 50 weeks?

That new wall on Hue's Kitchen-that-was looks better now that Mr. Au has taken pictures of it...

The new old wall looks fine. Let it weather in for a few years, and nobody
will remark on it being out of place.

My guess is that it will top out end of February 2025

So wait I thought we were on like floor 49 not 45
Edit- maybe counting the mechanical levels as a single floor

They have completed 48 and are working on setting up the forms for floor 49. They are highlighting the completion of 45 floors as a milestone and saying they have passed the halfway point.

So just over a year. Very exciting.

From shoveling snow yesterday to completing the placing of the floor forms and some rebar today

The bricks with the lighter mortar look pretty regularly spaced -
Could they be attachment points for a sculpture in future?

I believe those were the scaffold wall tie locations.

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Jan. 12). A gloomy and windy day, with fog late in the afternoon... Since my post from last Friday, the blue forms on top have all moved up one level, and as mentioned in previous posts, they are on level 49. The corner columns attached to the new hanging beams have been poured on each corner, up on level 39. No movement yet from the Rail Climbing Systems, still parked on level 16. Will they go up a level at a time to do the super-column cladding till they get to the 19th level? We shall see. And that west building - is it called the podium? - now has the cladding complete.
Starting with my weekly "time lapse" Flickr album update, views from the south. Some odd things here... barely visible in the long shot, the stencilled floor numbers for the exterior elevator, with the numeral "4" reversed on some floors, including #40 and #41. Some tighter shots to see the corners there on the first mechanical levels, the only part of the mechanical levels not covered by the Rail Climbing Systems. Something I've not seen before: while more glass and cladding has been added to the left of the crane, glass which had been placed on level 16 behind the crane has now been removed, and something different happening insulation-wise on the super column on the right side going into the first mechanical level on 17. Then, a shot of a new corner column - the SW one - up top by the new hangers. Next, shots from the west towards Bay showing that side with the west building siding completed. Diagonal views from Cumberland east of Bay, and then the view from near the old Bay entrance east of Yonge, showing some road work there as well as the full tower. Finally, a shot from the west at Bedford and Bloor.

That's a lot of ifs, I honestly doubt Stollerys would have obtained heritage status without some major pushback, and if it did, some type of agreement with the city would have been reached by developers being on the corner of the most transit centric intersection in the country. Let's remember this is the city that let the old Toronto Star building be demolished. I would also listen to the reasoning that a 2Billion dollar Foster would grant some consideration for demolition of a minor well appointed period building.

I think the RCS won’t move up until they’ve finished all the trim work for the mechanical level. And since it’s the first one, it’s taking them a while to figure it all out (like everything on this project). Looking forward to seeing it! Then it should go quickly until the next one.Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Jan. 12). A gloomy and windy day, with fog late in the afternoon...

According to the renders that champagne cladding will cover all exposed concrete left on the mechanicals. I assume that's going to be quite the tall order to get that all done.
