‘THE ONE’ is a skyscraper under construction, which will turn out to be the tallest building in Canada.
Designed by the U.K.’s Foster + Partners, with developer Sam Muzrahi, the building will rise 1,014 feet (85 storeys), and occupy a large piece of prime real estate.
The total cost for the property is reputed to be about $1-billion, and as of September/2020 75% of the apartments have already been sold.
The first 18 storeys will include restaurants, event spaces, two major retailers and a luxury Hyatt hotel under the Andaz brand. The retail portion is scheduled to open in 2020. The residential section will have a total of 416 units. Four penthouses will be included, along with four storeys of parking underground. The structure will connect with the Bloor-Yonge subway station and the underground walkway system – a smaller version of TORONTO’s PATH network.
