So weird that the corner floor plates are being put in later, and not along with the rest of each floor. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see them going in finally, but wondering why from a construction scheduling standpoint, they would opt to do that.

The hangers span several floors and are not installed until the super columns are poured (with brackets) at the upper level of their section. Then they come back and build the corner floors around them.

I have not seen this technique used before. Is it new, or are there other building using this hanger technique? And if used before, when was it first used?

To be clear - it's a resubmission, they submitted documents asking for the height increase 2 years ago, and made a resubmission to address comments this year.

I imagine Staff will review the resubmission now, go back and forth on a finalized by-law, then put in front of Council for approval in the spring following the election cycle this fall (provided staff are supportive of the application).

This project has been slow as hell, but has also been dogged by tons of uncontrollable delays which makes it seem even worse. It just got off a 5-6 week labour strike which paused construction yet again.

Ah. Thanks for clearing it up.

Lotsa concrete pouring today (walls and super columns).

Assembling the first Otis SkyBuild construction elevators in the country which climb with the tower (crews have indoor access to the highest completed floor). Converts to SkyRise high speed elevators when the building is topped out in 2034 ;-).

First self climbing construction elevators used in North America (supposedly) were Kone's Jumplift across the street.

That's interesting... made me look it up and you're right about One Bloor East using Kone's Jumplift (used widely in Asia, Europe and Middle East, but a first for North America).

Can't see any evidence of the actual system in action in this very first bird's eye view of 1 Bloor East construction shot back in 2014... from UT forum member Benito who also has been providing literally thousands of photos of The One (One Bloor West).

I guess I’m too dumb to see these fantastical elevators. Where are they exactly?

Maldive · #**570** Posted **Jun 21, 2022, 4:49 PM**

Here's some assembly progress of the self-climbing system at The One and a YouTube link to how it works (see 2 minute mark and beyond for the good stuff).

What level is it currently on? This is painful

I think the title should be changed back to 1,012 since that seems to be the final height.

Innsertnamehere · #**572** Posted **Jun 22, 2022, 6:01 PM**

The 1,110ft height will likely be approved, it just hasn't been yet. I wouldn't change it back quite yet.

What makes you say that? I'm thinking the opposite.
I'd love to be wrong though?

Repthe250 · #**574** Posted **Jun 23, 2022, 12:45 AM**

Why does it even matter? Not like we’re going to see it hit it’s final height in our lifetimes.

There's some buildings built before that were entirely suspended from the top of the core. Here's one during demolition before being replaced by the cheesegrater in London.

The fact that they haven't appealed it yet tells me they are expecting some level of support for it from the city. We'll have to see if they get a positive report to council in the fall supporting it or not.

It's definitely not dead, we last got an update on it in April.. they are still pushing for it.

WhipperSnapper · #**577** Posted **Jun 24, 2022, 3:23 PM**

Way I see it ... This is a thread in the supertall construction forum. 309 is being constructed in accordance to the building permits with 339 being proposed. 309 also matches the SSP database as its status is under construction instead of proposed. That's the thing for me. The link to the building data page having a different height from the thread looks amateurish. The zoning situation is undeniably complex though.

Innsertnamehere · #**578** Posted **Jun 24, 2022, 5:48 PM**

Don't disagree on that. It's an unusual case where what is getting built is not what is proposed. I'd be fine with downgrading the thread height until it gets approved, I just want to make sure that the developer is still planning to build to 1,110ft and it's not at all that the idea has been dropped.

koops65 · #**579** Posted **Jun 24, 2022, 7:12 PM**

On the building page, in the info section, it mentions the height increase twice.

Looks like the base for a mini-crane, which is part of the self-climbing construction elevators' formworks. Parts are being delivered for the SkyBuild construction elevators which grow with the building. Otis is providing four SkyBuild construction elevators, which convert to SkyRise elevators when construction is complete (total of 11 SkyRise elevators in the tower and 8 Gen2 elevators).

In this exciting episode, hundreds of unemployed construction workers from Texas showed up to help speed up construction.

Actually Pride spectators risking life and limb for a view ;-).
