A proposed new tower at the corner of Yonge and Bloor streets has 80 floors — on paper at least — and is ready to become the City’s second highest building after the CN Tower. It will be pricey too and one price to be paid will be the view from St. Clair and Mt. Pleasant. The developer of the former Stollerys site showed off renderings at a community meeting on Wednesday with a 318-metre tower. The plan calls for 72 levels of apartments on top of an eight-level luxury shopping mall, and 10 stories underground, at a total cost of $1 billion. Developer Sam Mizrahi has called his new monument The One. (Oh my. He’s The One). The design is by Foster Partners and Toronto’s Core Architects. Some have noted that external steel skeleton. Keep in mind it would run all the way up to the clouds. It is reminiscent of the first so called exoskeletons built in Hong Kong during the 1980s.years.
