(CCN, at145m, held "tallest" title until 1967.)

My latest "time-lapse" photo added to the album on Flickr showing building progress Oct 2020-July 2023:

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

I believe the walls and columns they poured on 7/14 are for the 34th floor, so yes, they are now forming the slab for 35.

The other thing that should be note here, is that nothing in the execution of this tower seems to be tacked on or out of place so far. It all has a reason that fits together.

A personal note to onetoronto's /deal with it.

My apologies if I already asked this in an earlier post. Does anyone know if the concrete pump is able to lift the mix all the way up or if there are several intermediate pumps every few floors that boost the pressure?

it's a shame that banal 19 Bloor W proposal will essentially make The One invisible from the west side

Isn't that 2 this week ?

I don’t think so. Earlier in the week they poured the columns and walls.
