One Yonge
One Yonge is a mixed-use development of six high
rise towers on the junction where the longest street in North America,
Yonge Street, meets Lake Ontario. Designed by Hariri Pontarini
Architects, the cluster of towers will rise above the existing Toronto
Star building onsite, elongating it by 10 storeys and recladding the
façade in a glittering new sheath.
Residential is the prominent force in this development with four
of the six planned towers comprising housing units, the tallest of which
will reach 88 storeys over the Toronto skyline. The remaining towers
will be a 40-storey office tower and a 70-storey hotel and branded
residence, and retail facilities will be implemented to stitch the
cluster together.
