They’re turning this mofo grey. Aren’t they? Maybe it’s the cloudy grey sky backdrop. Yeah, right. The glass is dark grey!! Yech.
It was a semi-good design. More than basic. I liked it more & more. And the one thing I liked above all for this supertall was the much needed soft gold light it gave Toronto’s monotonous skyline. It’s criminal. SkyGRiD via Hariri Pontarini. So Bad.
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 12). Since I posted last Friday, it seems work on third mechanical level is well underway as floors 57 and 58 are reached at the top. Most of the blue forms at top have also moved up one level, save for some on the east side. The corner blue forms are where they were last week. And our first full glimpse of the skin above the first mechanical level as the east Rail Climbing System moves up one level to floor 20 revealing floor 19. The north and west RCSs remain at level 19, though it looks like there is a bigger jump to 20, maybe because the floor spacing at the mechanical levels are different.

Starting with my usual "time lapse" Flickr album addition, to views from the south, showing the newly raised east RCS. Various views from Bloor east of Yonge, then Cumberland east of Bay - where stuff has been piled up in the floors above the RCSs. Finally, a shot from Bloor and Bedford to the west.

The One (1 Bloor West) "time-lapse"

From October, 2020, as above-ground construction started in earnest at The One (1 Bloor W.) in Toronto. More or less a weekly photo usually taken on a Friday, with some gaps during early-on construction hiatuses. The initial photographs are from 2015, during demolition at the site, 2018, during...

Dark grey glass? They look brown to me (most of the time) or gold on late sunny afternoons. But not everyone sees colours the same way - remember the gold/blue striped dress arguments a few years ago? Having said that, we do need more brightly coloured buildings (towers included) to brighten up our long, grey winters.

Nothing is changing in the exterior of the building the cladding will be the same that is currently being applied as for the windows they are the same windows they're on the lower floors it is just that there is a lot of cloud cover in this picture and the cladding isn't into the skyline

I hope so. Brown, beige, amber, gold. Anything but grey.
 
That has always been my main question on this project like they do little things on Saturdays but not full on work like some other projects is it a location thing or not sure I don't live in Toronto so everyone can basically tell me I know nothing and I will accept that but just seems like loading bar in place and tying slab on a Saturday would be an easy thing to do even if you have a crane raise because you can have it stocked and ready to go on the Friday and use the ACS crane to move stuff around

Also that night picture is absolutely spectacular like screensaver spectacular
