Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Jan. 12). A gloomy and windy day, with fog late in the afternoon... Since my post from last Friday, the blue forms on top have all moved up one level, and as mentioned in previous posts, they are on level 49. The corner columns attached to the new hanging beams have been poured on each corner, up on level 39. No movement yet from the Rail Climbing Systems, still parked on level 16. Will they go up a level at a time to do the super-column cladding till they get to the 19th level? We shall see. And that west building - is it called the podium? - now has the cladding complete.
Starting with my weekly "time lapse" Flickr album update, views from the south. Some odd things here... barely visible in the long shot, the stencilled floor numbers for the exterior elevator, with the numeral "4" reversed on some floors, including #40 and #41. Some tighter shots to see the corners there on the first mechanical levels, the only part of the mechanical levels not covered by the Rail Climbing Systems. Something I've not seen before: while more glass and cladding has been added to the left of the crane, glass which had been placed on level 16 behind the crane has now been removed, and something different happening insulation-wise on the super column on the right side going into the first mechanical level on 17. Then, a shot of a new corner column - the SW one - up top by the new hangers. Next, shots from the west towards Bay showing that side with the west building siding completed. Diagonal views from Cumberland east of Bay, and then the view from near the old Bay entrance east of Yonge, showing some road work there as well as the full tower. Finally, a shot from the west at Bedford and Bloor.

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...
