An aerial of the impact Canada Square Redevelopment plans could have on the Yonge and Eglinton skyline.

The One (309m - 85s)

The annex building beside the tower (which hosts elevators up to the residential lobby above the Apple Store, and down to parking levels), is getting its big concrete pour.

Benito

Not an early April Fool’s joke: some bizarre news today regarding adding 9 more floors to the super-tall. No-one knows if the additional floors would be stuffed into the existing building envelope,
or if this means a substantial growth in height (to 94 storeys).

Application Type: Rezoning
Date Submitted: 18/12/2020
Status: Application Received
Description: Proposal for a by-law amendment application to the approved 85-storey mixed-use building by adding an additional 9-storeys for residential uses. The proposed addition will result
in an increase to 85,664 square metres of total gross floor area comprised of 67,995 square metres of residential gross floor area and 17,669 square metres of non-residential gross floor area.
A total residential unit count of 505 is proposed.

Just a cool shot of the Phase One crane (Prestige @ 217m) sneaking into the Southcore skyline.

IMO this is the first time (in Toronto) that Pinnacle has cut a cheque for superb (as rendered?) glazing/cladding. Though Prestige has a simpler built-form than SkyTower and the Phase 3 tower,
the great cladding and balcony glass magic promised (render below) will add up to one of the best looking new condos downtown. :-)

The One - was 309m... now taller.

The mystery of the recent application to add "9 floors" has been solved.

It was confirmed today that Mizrahi Developments' new application includes a substantial height increase for The One. If approved it would take the crown over both the SkyTower (u/c) and Mirvish+Gehry, and make The One a 94-storey, 338.3-metre-tall tower, the tallest of any planned in Canada.

Some revised renders (models?) have emerged that while not detailed, particularly at grade, show a drop in height for both towers, a significant amount of glass curtain-wall

Predictably, cries of value engineering are being heard ;-).
