When this gets tall enough, I'll be able to see if from mon apartment. Which is awesome, because most of the city's tallest buildings are blocked from my view by lower, wider, closer buildings.

It's a beautiful design. All those waves must be a construction nightmare though.

I expect someone finally figured out the acronym for Number One Bloor and decided a name change was in order.

Still very short for this prime location.
I don't know why the developer wouldn't adjust the height to 80 floors and make more $$$
These units are selling almost as fast as the previous Baziz project yet GG seems to retain that silly small town 1990's Toronto Inferiority Complex.

Where's the ambition here?

I don't know how anyone can call this short or small town. More height doesn't always amount to more profit either.

The Bazis proposal was an architectural embarassment and never going to get built. It's no different than the Maryon Tower. Forget about it.

Wow, that's nearly the height of Scotia Plaza!! It'll be third tallest in the city, and taller than Aqua. It will also be taller than Trump's roof.

Word is from the developer, that the tower will reach 238 meters. Not as high as we had hoped, but for Yorkville, it will Giant Loom over the neighbourhood. 70 floors has again been confirmed.

There is your daily One Bloor update......
