Mizrahi recently broke ground on the 85-story mixed-use tower, which, at approximately 1,004 feet (or 306 meters) tall, will take on the title of the tallest building in Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sited at the high-profile intersection of Yonge and Bloor streets, The One will act as a link of sorts between downtown Toronto and the trendy Yorkville district. Foster has produced a cutting-edge design that fits right into the established neighborhood. <em>\u201cThe project creates a new anchor for high-end retail along Bloor Street West, while respecting the urban scale of Yonge Street. The design is respectful of the legacy of the William Luke Buildings, and incorporates the historic 19th century brick structures within the larger development,\u201d<\/em> Giles Robinson, senior partner at Foster + Partners, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004193341\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004193341\" data-attachment-id=\"1004193341\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/construction-begins-on-canadas-tallest-tower\/rendering-of-the-one-in-toronto\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Rendering of The One in Toronto\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Rendering of The One in Toronto&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rendering of The One in Toronto&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg?w=800\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1004193341 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg\" alt=\"Rendering of The One in Toronto\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2017\/10\/Rendering-of-The-One-in-Toronto.jpg?resize=768,595 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004193341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rendering of The One in Toronto<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The One will feature several levels of retail and restaurant space topped by approximately 420 luxury condominium residences, with the building\u2019s distinctive fa\u00e7ade offering indication of where the commercial portion of the structure ends and the residential segment begins.

Ten supertall buildings, which are 300 meters (984 feet) or greater in height, came online in 2016.
