The One (1 Bloor St W,/ Yorkville, currently Stollery's, Mizrahi Developments, Proposed, ???st, ??? ft./m)
Something big is coming to the Bloor/Yonge intersection
Rumour has it @ 80-100 storeys
One of Canada’s most prominent intersections is getting a major facelift.
Developer Sam Mizrahi has bought several low-rise properties on the southwest corner of Toronto’s Bloor and Yonge Streets, including the venerable Stollerys men’s wear store for an estimated total of nearly $300-million. In their place, he plans to build a luxury condominium tower with space for high-profile international retailers on the main and lower levels.
Mr. Mizrahi said he will look for international retailers, such as the U.S. luxe chain Bloomingdale’s, for the space in his new development at 1 Bloor St. West, which he calls “The One.” He would also consider a high-end restaurant and supermarket emporium such as Italian-based Eataly, which draws big crowds in New York.
Earlier this month, news broke on the coming redevelopment of the Yonge and Bloor intersection's last remaining low-rise corner, with Mizrahi Developments' recent purchase of the 30,000 square-foot Stollerys store located at the southwest corner of the bustling intersection. This purchase is part of a land assembly that was sold to Mizrahi for a reported $300 million, which includes 11 Bloor West, formerly occupied by a French Connection UK location, as well as the Sunrise Records located to the immediate south of Stollerys on Yonge Street.
- While there is no final design for the development and the visioning stage is still ongoing, Sam Mizrahi, President of Mizrahi Developments told the Globe and Mail that they felt a responsibility to create an iconic building at this important intersection, one which he has dubbed 'The One' for its 1 Bloor Street West address. Mizrahi is considering a significant retail component to the development, and is looking at international retailers and restaurateurs to fill the base of the building, likely with a sky-scraping condominium tower to rise above. Speculation is that the new tower would be in a similar height range to neighbouring One Bloor East, a 75-storey condominium tower by developer Great Gulf Homes, currently rising across Yonge Street from this site.
Rumour has it that this will be a Norman Foster design.

Parking lot sale shows Toronto condo juggernaut refuses to quit
The downtown parking lot on Queen St. East was purchased for $87.5 million by Lee Development Group, a unit of Hong Kong-based National Electronics Holdings Ltd. The company plans to build about 1.3 million square feet of residential, office and retail space in about four towers.
One of the towers will be 28 stories, another an eight- floor loft, and the two others will be decided once Lee Development hires an architect in the next few weeks, president Patrick Quigley said. He plans to start marketing units by next year.
