Do you know if there are any floor plans available? Is the second floor accessible to anyone or only for the hotel?
- Thread starter androiduk
- Start date
I'm not sure if the floor plans are still available on the City's AIC page, I haven't had time to check, sorry! Regarding access though, read on...
I assume that the restaurant will be open to the public: it will be at the north end of the podium.
The PATH is certainly a public feature, of course, and it will run down the east side of the second level, overlooking the sheltered driveway between this phase and Phase One. (At its south end, it is eventually meant to bridge over Downes Street to the Pinnacle One Yonge south block of buildings, to be built sometime in the future.)
The PATH connections to downtown and projects to the east will be via the third phase. At the north end of Phase Two (this Sky Tower phase), the PATH will bridge over the open grade-level walkway below between and it and Phase three.
From that point at the southwest corner of Phase Three, there will be a PATH hall that will run directly east to over Freeland Street to connect with the Sugar Wharf Phase Two buildings. (This PATH hall's south side will be the north wall of One Yonge's Phase One (The Prestige) that's already been built.)
There will also be a PATH hall that will head north, and soon be bridging over Lake Shore, and then making a 90° turn to the west to continue over Yonge Street and connect into a new PATH hall to be built over the CIBC SQUARE South Tower underground garage ramp, heading towards the PATH hall that allows access to the Union GO Bus Terminal... ...and there you are, connected to the whole network.
It's going to be quite the wait for that connection to be made: we need Pinnacle One Yonge to go into sales and then be built and completed for it to happen!

This doc may be outdated but the layout of the north block is relatively unchanged. There are some pages showing first and second floor.
They’re pretty low quality images so I’m not going to pull them put of the PDF, but check out what’s around pages 40-45.

Not sure what's happening now - but drawings from the last SPA submission in March '24 don't show the PATH going through the 2nd level now. There is a dashed line showing a "Future Bridge PATH Connection" at the north to the Phase 3 tower. I suppose all those rooms down the eastern side of the building could be a short-term layout too.
Full drawings for this largest tower are in this link - https://www.toronto.ca/city-governm...ils/?id=4097459&pid=210682&title=1-7-YONGE-ST
2nd floor plan is in doc "Arch Plans - 2 of 6"
Yup, as far as I know, that plan is the interim condition assuming that a PATH bridge eventually connects to the block to the south... which is not necessarily a given in the future, especially as plans to move forward with it as mostly commercial space are now up in the air...
So yes, those smaller rooms down the east side would all be removed to create a hall for PATH if a bridge were built to keep going south.

...well as long as is PATH route doesn't lead us through people's living rooms and bedrooms there it should be okay.

I grew up in Le Méridien hotels, and I'm thrilled to see the brand come back to Canada in style with a property like this; hopefully the interiors and offerings are beautiful. Late 2025 might be a smidge optimistic given the building's progress so far, but fingers crossed.
Looking forward to this one; will hunt for renderings/info and share accordingly.

Here are a few photos I took of Pinnacle One Yonge this afternoon, starting from outside Union Station:
At a height of 1,134+ feet, Sky Tower will be at least 34 feet higher than the spire of Wilshire Grand Center, the tallest building on the West Coast:
Sky Tower will also be 120+ feet higher than The One, and among North American cities, only New York and Chicago have completed skyscrapers taller than Sky Tower.
