Move it to where? This is the only thread that applies.

There is an L Tower link at the front of the page, for recently completed top-10 towers, even though it is really not even completed.

Recent One Bloor photos by me:

I really wish that the front page images would be updated.

Wonderful shot from Mt. Pleasant, steve.

For chrissakes, that building is tall. I was not even aware that such a tall building was being build in Toronto. I can't believe it went under my radar. I think I've been spending too much time on this forum arguing over weather lately.

One Bloor makes 600 foot towers, like Casa II, look small...

If The ONE ever sees the light of the day, it will make One Bloor East look small.

[caltrane74]

Shoring application is for "The One".

We might be seeing action there shortly, even though its tower is not approved yet.(although it likely will be, down the line)

[caltrane74]

Massey Tower might be at ground level in the next month or two. Haven't really been tracking that tower as much as the others, at least until it gets above ground. When it does it will be interesting to see just due to it's location in the heart of Dundas Square and between those historic bank buildings.



Some massive buildings going up at Dundas Square, its gonna take on it's roll as a Time Square like place when all these people move in, plus all the fancy new lights and video screens that are being added to the Eaton Centre (the new lights at the EC are blinding bright) . These two buildings (HNR Rental Tower) on their own should add 1000 more permanent residents to an area which is already very packed day and night.

I know that Caltrane, a certain bitter SSP member argued ages ago that L is no longer U/C. I agree, until that crane comes down it's very much U/C still.

It looks almost like a 1000 footer when walking up Yonge from College. She's crazy tall a slender from that vantage point.

one bloor west is going to absolutely dominate the area. The proposals in Yorkville will make it not stick out quite as much if they are ever built, but for the first few years at least, One Bloor West will be ridiculously tall for the area. Only One Bloor East will come anywhere remotely close to it in height, and even then it will be nearly 300 feet shorter.

Drum setting it up - Ten York (Tower - 224 meters)

Under construction denotes progress. There has been very little to any in over a year. The options are either on hold or completed. The latter is more fitting as the tower has been 95% occupied/completed during that time.

Bloor Yorkville will become another "Volcano" like the financial district.

[caltrane74]

College Park will be the third "Volcano".

Just thought this is looking pretty good. Especially from this angle.

[caltrane74]

Has more than a passing resemblance to BA 1 and 2 - with the exception of the corners...

Businesses have started to move into BA2 now.
