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.

Sam Mizrahi Reveals a Few Details for Bloor and Yonge Development

Read More: http://www.urbantoronto.ca/news/2014...ge-development

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.

Anatomy of a $2-billion deal: Class A office towers meet bus terminal

Read More: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repor...ticle21733071/

The recently announced deal between Ivanhoé Cambridge and Metrolinx to build an iconic new bus terminal and office complex in the heart of Toronto was more than five years in the making.

- Metrolinx is tasked with planning and improving transportation in the Toronto and Hamilton areas and runs GO Transit. At the time it was developing its mega-blueprint called “The Big Move,” which outlined a new way of moving people around the region.

- “When we looked around for the available [bus terminal] sites at that time, in about 2008-2009, there really was only one undeveloped site left that was in close proximity to Union Station and the Gardiner [Expressway] and Lakeshore Boulevard – 45 Bay was that site,” says Metrolinx president and CEO Bruce McCuaig. “And it was owned by Ivanhoé Cambridge.”

- That means the blockbuster deal that was announced in September for the $2-billion project that includes the bus terminal and two office towers was first kindled more than five years ago, when Metrolinx knew it wanted to be on that site.

- The team eventually came up with the idea of building an elevated park above the rail corridor. “We were dealing with the issue of how do you connect the two projects over the railway so that the tracks don’t become an obstacle, they become invisible,” Mr. Gleeson says. “In other words, how do you turn the tracks into an amenity?”

- The final plan includes 250,000 square metres of premium office space, a larger bus terminal at the base of the tower at 45 Bay St., and a park above the rail corridor. Ivanhoé and Metrolinx held an international design competition to choose an architect, eventually narrowing the field from 10 to four to one, London-based Wilkinson Eyre.

- Other towers going up include the Bay Adelaide Centre East by Brookfield Properties and One York Street by Menkes and HOOPP, both of which are scheduled to open in 2016. At the moment the finishing touches are just being done at RBC Waterpark Place and Bremner Tower, and looking out to 2017 there will be projects like the EY Tower at 100 Adelaide Street West.
