They are finally onto typical hotel floors so it should speed up a tiny bit. They are apparently aiming for one floor every 2 weeks.. which still puts topping out 3 years from now.

wait....... WHAT???

what's the deal with the snail's pace construction of this thing?

have they still not closed on the construction loan or something?

If topping out is 3 years away, this building isn't going to be doen for a minimum 5 years.
Big RIP.

It's like a giant pound sign with the eight super columns and thick concrete walls running between them. They seem to use much more rebar and formwork on a typical floor than a normal residential building. It was 12 days between the last slab pour and the current wall pour. Now that they're repeating the same layout for each floor they may get some time out of that but still, maybe one floor per week at best?

That's significant progress between the Feb 22 photo update and the March 24 photo update. It felt like it would take another 8 years to top out around Christmas time. 3 years would be golden all things considered.

There's another over 300 metre tower under construction in the city and advancing at a good pace. Last I heard, the 339 metre height is not very well liked. It still could have been approved since so i could be wrong in saying someone jumped the gun with the thread title. (I think koops would have updated the database )

It wasn't me... I don't have the ability to change thread titles.

There are 94 floors here... they have done 7 so far. That puts this at 87 to go - at one every 2 weeks, that puts topping out in 174 weeks, or around July 2025.

Who knows, maybe they'll speed up as they get up there. I imagine the structural requirements will drop on the uppermost levels allowing them to build a bit quicker, but they also have several mechanical levels as the building goes up which will likely take a bit longer.

A floor every two weeks is rather slow for the non-winter months.

koops65 · #9 Posted **Mar 24, 2022, 9:51 PM**

Might be slow, but that's fast compared to the last 2 years of construction...

Gresto · #10 Posted **Mar 25, 2022, 12:27 AM**

Quite right. We'll think it's veritably whizzing along.

It looks ever so slightly larger than when I last saw it a year ago, so it's definitely moving along.

Silly that they would complain about a few metres on an already-approved building.

JHikka · #14 Posted **Apr 6, 2022, 3:36 PM**

There's more work going on these days. Was across the street at One Bloor last night and they were working on The One through the evening into the dark.

One of the cooler modern skyscrapers I've seen rising. Very nice for Toronto.

It is a bit like NYC's Penn15, but not crap.

Penn 15 isn't crap but I get what you're trying to say.

Oh man, that aerial rendering - presumably from 2035, when this project finally opens - is amazing.

It's a great render, but by 2035 there will be many more towers than are shown, including the 1,100-ft 1200 Bay St. Here is steveveve's Yonge/Bloor render, which I believe includes all proposals:

koops65 · #19 Posted **Apr 7, 2022, 10:38 PM**

Those are both great renders... here is mine:

All proposals are certainly not going to be built by 2035. Even 50% would be impressive. There's just a shitload of applications and many more added every year doubling completions (sometimes 3 to 4 times completions)

More and more 30 storey towers going up in Hamilton, Kitchener, London, etc is not complimentary to investment in Toronto. It's competition. We'll have to wait and see wait it means to the pace in Toronto.
