Toronto One Bloor West | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

And just like that, we have RCS movement on the Yonge side!

They must've read the little tantrum I threw yesterday. You're welcome everybody! 🙃
 
Great progress today. We may get another floor pour on Monday.

Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 16) (Save for one). A lot of progress since my post last Friday. The first Rail Climbing System (RCS) to start rising from the first mechanical level has done so, revealing (barely) the first mechanical level cladding. That's the east RCS, now up to level 17, while the north and west RCSs stay at 16. The blue forms at top have moved up, and they are up to floor 53, I believe. And the corner blue forms have been raised above the second mechanical level. If I count correctly, the next raising of the top blue forms will reveal the hanger attachment points on the super columns for the next set of those. And... a new set of black exterior scaffolding has been added to the south side on one side of the crane, smaller than the Rail Climbing Systems, but there presumably to install the glass and cladding. Perhaps we'll soon see a similar scaffold on the other side of the crane.

A dull day, so the colours and exposure a bit muted. Photos, starting with my latest "time-lapse" Flickr album addition, then to views from the south where we can see the new small black scaffold next to the crane, and the east RCS up one level. A view of the SE corner where we can see cladding on the super column just emerging from behind the east RCS and the daylight behind - the first hint of what the notched tower will look like. The view from by Holt Renfrew, and a closer view of the now-exposed second mechanical level corners, the scaffolds having been raised. The more diagonal view from Cumberland east of Bay, with close-ups, and then the view from the west, Bloor at Bedford. And a final bonus shot I took on Saturday (Feb 10) at the Don Lands, looking up Cherry with the new (north) bridge, and 1 Bloor W in the distance. (This photo was posted on that thread over the weekend.)
