What to expect from Canada’s new ‘supertall’ skyscraper

  • One Bloor West in Toronto has become Canada's first "supertall" building, exceeding the 300-meter height threshold.
  • Upon its scheduled completion in mid-2028, the 85-storey skyscraper will stand at 308.6 meters (1,012 feet) tall.
  • Designed by Foster + Partners and Core Architects, the building will house 476 residential units, hotel facilities, and retail spaces.
  • Despite its height, One Bloor West will not surpass Toronto's CN Tower, which is a freestanding communications tower and not classified as a building.
  • The title of Canada's tallest building will soon be claimed by SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge, which is under construction and set to reach 351 meters.
