How tall is this building now

~600 ft.

If level 55 was the last to be poured, they are at 616 ft / 187.78 metres (core would be higher).

The One: The Story and Storeys That Just Don't Quit | UrbanToronto

Mizrahi Developments' The One is the most ambitious mixed-use condominium building ever to have broken ground in Canada. Now standing about 55 storeys in the air above Bloor and Yonge streets, it's heading to 85 storeys — or 91 — depending upon how far ambitions prevail. Recent events have...

Going off the article, it seems like we're good to go regarding the outside of the building which tbh, for 99% of us, is what matters. Although it did seem like the additional 6 floors may be up in the air. I'd prefer to see those as they make the overall design look better, but I could also see a buyer cheaping out and not wanting to pay the city what was negotiated to have those extra 6 floors.

Personally, I hope out that when this whole mess is figured out, they can get Apple back. The TEC Apple Store, despite expansion, is still insanely busy, and hopefully a second store downtown would help make the shopping experience at either store less chaotic. And tbh, I'm not sure where else they can go for a second store given this was meant to be their Toronto flagship, and there aren't many (if any) other spaces that fit their design aesthetic.

So just my thinking but if they haven't started laying out for plates on the finished floor framing wise they could go forward with their idea on lower floors instead of higher simply count the six floors they got given as the ones above the hotel directly and save the bigger More luxurious units for the higher floors this could bring investors in at a little bit lower margin without killing the main selling point of the building of having luxury units at one of the highest points in Toronto

While there's been big headliner of "6 stories up in the air!" as that would be a big deal, this is the second source that's mentioned that...so it's a bit more concerning now. And can't no be longer dismissed as a misspeak. However, as one poster mentioned that they need more floors to turn a higher profit, the new developer would likely be cutting their nose off to save their face if they went back to the original 85 story count. So I can speculate it's unlikely this will happen. And assuming there are not other factors that are at play here.

If they actually have the glass, why are they not installing it? They need that for drywalll.

They probably are installing glass, that work takes place behind the RCS.

This mechanical box or whatever that is on top of the heritage building, is the only part of this project I don’t like. Wish they would’ve used the same glass instead.
