黑洞社区 will be Canada鈥檚 tallest

Work on Canada鈥檚 tallest building designed by Foster & Partners has begun.

Called the One, the scheme in Toronto will be just over 306m tall 鈥 just over one metre higher than Eric Parry鈥檚 planned One Undershaft in the City of London and set to be the Square Mile鈥檚 tallest 鈥 and run across 85 storeys. It will includes a 175-room hotel and a 60 floors of condo apartments topped by multilevel penthouses.

Fosters is working with local practice Core Architects.

The CAD$1bn (拢605m) project is being developed by local firm Mizrahi.

Although set to be the tallest building in Canada, the scheme is still lower than the CN tower elsewhere in the city. The communications and observation tower is 553m tall.
