In my experience, mixed use towers like The One should be viewed as two independent buildings that happen to be stacked on one another. The building systems and functions are separate. On the construction side, the financing and the contractors are separate as well.

There hasn't been anything to suggest the materials are going to be different for the residential portion. It's a pretty unified design compared to your typical podium + tower development like Four Seasons or 480 University. It would be oh so very Toronto though if they just pulled a switcharoo and the steel beams became plastic adornments after the first 10 or so floors.
