Mizrahi Developments' The One is bringing Canada's first supertall—a skyscraper exceeding 300 metres in height—to Toronto's Yonge and Bloor intersection, and the future landmark's early above-grade progress is already generating quite the buzz. Earlier this week we caught up with recent construction progress of the 85-storey luxury condo and hotel tower, designed by UK-based architects Foster + Partners with Toronto's Core Architects, but a new series of photographs sent to us by Mizrahi offers a close-up look at some of the jaw-dropping views from within and around the tower's rising steel structure. We're going with a minimum of text here, just enjoy the dramatic images!

The One is currently gunning for even more height than its approved 308.6 metres, seeking approval for a new 94-storey, 338.3-metre height. If granted, the increase would allow The One to hold onto its title as Canada's tallest building, against the competing 312-metre SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge now under construction a few kilometres to the south.
