One Bloor
1 Bloor Street East. 
At the apex of two of the city's most prominent streets, 1 Bloor Street East is one of the city's most sought-after addresses. The 75-storey project by Great Gulf (X the Condominium, Mirvish+Gehry Toronto) defines the vision of the builder: to seek to improve the way people live and work, through innovative design and intelligent construction. Completed in 2017, the LEEDⒸ Certified One Bloor is making records: it is the 10th tallest residential building outside of Asia and the 40th tallest residential building in the world.
David Pontarini, founding partner at Hariri Pontarini Architects (The Massey Tower, Five Condos at 5 St. Joseph), was responsible for the building's ultra-modern graceful, organic lines and balcony waves that seamlessly soar into the sky, while firm Janet Rosenberg & Studio (The Massey Tower, SQ Condos) mapped out the project's inspiring landscaping. 1 Bloor Street East is anchored by a six storey podium with 100,000 square feet of retail space located on the concourse, and first and second levels. The attractive and lucrative space attracted Nordstrom Rack, who opened its first Canadian location in May 2018. Location.
At the corner of Bloor Street and Yonge Street, One Bloor is at the corner of two of the busiest and most recognizable streets in the city. This means that the world is literally at your feet, with proximity to great pockets of luxury shopping (Yorkville and the "Mink Mile" along Bloor Street), parks (the beautiful University of Toronto grounds and St. Paul's Square), culture (the Royal Ontario Museum and Toronto Reference Library), restaurants (from fine dining to fast food along Yonge Street), and entertainment (Varsity Cinema, CAA Theatre). Leave the car at home. The Bloor-Yonge subway line is across the street and runs along Line 1 and Line 2. That means the Financial District, Entertainment District, the Annex, Yonge-Eglinton, and many more destination neighbourhoods are just a few subway stops away. Easily travel to Union Station to hop onto a GO Train or UP Express. Amenities.
