How soon could people move in to the lower floors? Is that realistic while it's still under construction or is that crazy? Not retail but condo owners.

2024 predictions: Will surpass One Bloor East in height...
...top out at the end of the year? I like to think so.

My prediction - I'll be optimistic and predict that we will see the pour for the final floor by end of year. But this tower won't really be topped out for height until the architectural element that caps off the supercolumns is installed. I do not believe that will be completed until 2025.

I am aware of that. But that's why I mentioned, "I like to think so." bit. Because I know what I think doesn't always happen that way.

Oh, I was not meaning to critique your prediction, just to put one in of my own for a little competition.I am aware of that. But that's why I mentioned, "I like to think so." bit. Because I know what I think doesn't always happen that way.
I think any prediction between 70 stories and top-out is probably reasonable, while a prediction of a complete stoppage (as some here seem wont to do) or of much more than topping out (say completion of building envelope) I think would not be.

My guess is they pass the last mechanical levels (77/78) by the end of the year, exceeding One Bloor East. Topping out sometime in the spring of 2025...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 5). My first update post for the new year. Progress since last Friday's post, with the seventh set of hangers installed on Thursday, it seems, from BloorMan's posts. The new hangers attach at the top of level 44, and connect to the floor of level 39, directly above the second mechanical levels. The blue forms up top have moved up one level since last Friday, and are at around level 47/48 at the top (does someone know exactly what floor the top is at?). The Rail Climbing Systems are still at level 16, when they move up to start installing the skin at level 19 will be an interesting milestone, maybe soon? The exterior of the attached building immediately to the west is nearly complete now. And the heritage building on Yonge Street has now been revealed in its restored glory. (Anyone know how old that facade is? Maybe from the 1890s?)
Starting with my latest Flickr "time lapse" album addition, then some of the activity on the south face including placing the steel core of the concrete column by the newly installed hangers on the SW corner. A shot of the newly revealed heritage facade, then shots from Bloor east of Yonge, then west of Yonge by Holt Renfrew, Cumberland east of Bay and a final shot from Bloor at Bedford.

By my count, they just poured floor 48 today.

Thank you for not only posting the latest shots but also providing detailed updates on what's been going on since your last post. Many of us are not so observant with details and may have missed the progress. Also, it's heartening to know that this landmark is inching closer towards completion despite the challenges - and to stick it to the naysayers that seem to wish this will remain a stump because somehow it's unethical to have a completed multibillion tower when the original developer was involved in some nefarious deals.Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 5).

...in the end, I don't think their issue was ever about the developer being involved in nefarious deals, rather it was about telling us to stop liking what they don't like. You know, haters gonna hate. /shrug

That may be so, but it's always useful to mask one's belligerence under some ethical concerns ...
