Our sister site UrbanToronto.ca was on the scene of a groundbreaking ceremony for The One, which at 306 metres high, is set to become the tallest building in Canada. Its height certainly isn't the only noteworthy part of the development; it will feature a stunning design by internationally acclaimed architects Foster + Partners.

It's tough scheduling ground breaking ceremonies for the day that ground is actually broken on a development, so today, what has been evident to us for weeks now was made official (and made more public) as Sam Mizrahi, President of Mizrahi Developments, stood upon a podium erected on the site of The One and declared it was full-steam-ahead for the skyscraping new complex.

Mizrahi spoke about his intentions for the property; to create something worthy of the important location, to create something that adds to the public realm in several ways, to create something that Torontonians will be proud of. And Mizrahi, who talked about the hard work to put it all together, also underlined that planning The One has been "fun".
