Today from the Leaside bridge. Definitely a smidge taller than 1BE!

Yes, I think it is safe to say that The One has eclipsed 1BE from this perspective even if just by a smidgen. In another week it will be undeniable and then it will be onward and upward! I still don't know what the final floor count will be. I recall that it was approved for a height extension but then I also recall a report on here that the developer will not be building The One to the maximum approved height. I hope they have reconsidered and will go for the maximum approved height.

If the receivership wants to take that risk, sure...but I highly suspect not. Thus, the building's final height is likely contingent on a buyer I am afraid...

...and they better hurry up and find one soon though, as that window is closing as they get closer to that 85 story mark!

Why do you say "Gerrard of all streets"? Aura has been the second tallest residential building in Canada for a decade now. And currently is the fourth tallest building in Canada. Right at Gerrard.

Maybe he thinks of Gerrard the way America thinks of Buffalo... 😼

Yes, I am aware that Aura is at Gerrard as well. I was just remarking on two points (which I probably should have mentioned): 1. The third tallest building in Canada will be located almost directly halfway between the 1st and 2nd tallest, and 2. that Gerrard and Yonge is not the most expected intersection to be the tallest between the South Core/Financial District area and Yorkville.

I don't know what the states specifically think about Buffalo, but I find the art deco architecture there beautiful and would love for it to have unexpectedly tall buildings like Gerrard 😸

...and don't pay too much heed of what I said if it's followed by a smirk cat. <3
