Our sister site UrbanToronto.ca has obtained new renderings that depict the approved Foster + Partners and Core Architects design of Mizrahi Developments' The One, which at 306 metres, would top the 298-metre First Canadian Place to become the tallest building in Canada.
The new images of The One show changes that are most pronounced on the lower floors of the building, with the number of retail floors reduced in the podium. Above what are now six retail floors (plus a below-grade concourse level which will include a PATH connection to 2 Bloor West and Bloor-Yonge subway station), there will be ten storeys of hotel rooms. Above the hotel, there will be 60 storeys of condominium suites.
The model and new renderings come at a time when Mizrahi is preparing for both a construction and sales launch in September. Equipment is on its way from Europe now which will be used to drill the megapiles which will form part of the structural system of the building—there is no equipment currently in Canada which can accomplish the specialized work. The ground breaking ceremony this Fall—at a date still to be determined—will include announcements regarding the hotelier which will be operating in the building, and the names of some of the best-in-class retailers which are promised.
