New and evolving proposals made May another busy month for us here at UrbanToronto. With those 31 days now in the books, it is time once again for our monthly roundup of the hottest news stories, dataBase files and Forum threads from the month!
 
Our Top Ten News Stories
 

The most popular article in May discussed the evolving plans for Mizrahi's The One. Revised renderings of the tower came in later in the month (see below), resulting in another Top Ten story, this one popping on at number three, cementing the tower as easily the biggest recent attention-getter on UrbanToronto.

Our two most popular dataBase files of the month were right across the street from each other, and they include the big attention-getter above, but this time it was Great Gulf Homes' One Bloor East that beat out Mizrahi's The One for the number one spot… and with their addresses being what they are, isn't the number one spot what both developers are looking for here?!

Our Top Ten Forum Threads 

As it climbs ever taller into the Bloor-Yorkville skyline, it's also the Projects and Construction Forum thread for Great Gulf's One Bloor East continues to attract the most attention… and no surprise, Mizrahi's The One has also garnered plenty of discussion, taking second place here too. These two could be battling it out for the top spot for quite a while!
