Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

The one thing that is without dispute is that this is one of the most prime pieces of real estate in the Country.


Most marketable pieces of real estate? Arguably.
Most prime pieces of real estate? Not in even in the top 10.

It's a dynamite spot for compact, mid-market units. It's a weak spot for luxury living.
 
was the favourite project of all the members, one post related to the finances and no one has even bothered taking updates from last 3 pages.

What updates were you expecting over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day??
 
Just wanted to add fuel to the fire by reminding everyone that the current building permit is only for a 3 storey commercial retail building. No mention of the rest of the 82 stories.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but I still don't understand why the City of Toronto building permit is for a 3-storey retail building, in apparent contradiction of all news and marketing of this building as an 85-storey residential tower with a retail podium.

Even 1 Bloor E had a New Building application listing the full 75 stories (below). Does someone in the industry or with planning knowledge know what this all means?

The PATH doesn’t come this far north.
PATH connection would be Subway connection.
There's a mini-PATH n Bloor-Yorkville. If the tunnel goes in under Bloor, then it will connect to Cumberland Terrace, and from there through adjacent complexes to the subway, to to the subway directly.

My gut feeling is that the tunnel will not happen.
 
This view down Yonge St. includes YC Condos, Halo on Yonge,
Wellesley on the Park, 10 Wellesley W, The One, Number One Bloor,
The Clover on Yonge, Teahouse and a little piece of 2 Carlton.

For anyone that wants to have ‘fun with figures’ on employment, StatsCan makes it easy. Canadian and Ontario unemployment at very solid low rate of 5.6%. 2019 could very well have a slowdown, and mortgage income affordability tests will constrain some possible buyers, but neither should be particularly constraining on this project specifically.

Could you list 5 more prime locations?
