One Yonge Street, Toronto, ON

One Yonge Street, Toronto, ON

One Yonge Street is currently a 25 storey building.

It is located at the Waterfront area on Queens Quay East.

There are now redevelopment plans for 1 Yonge St. upto 7 Yonge St.

In competition with the One Bloor St tower and the AURA tower, this project is considering a 95-storey multi-purpose landmark tower.

Some residents feel that 95-storeys is too high,

however, the architects counter by saying that it is a natural evolution for the city.

It will be interesting to see how the Redpath Sugar Refinery Plant,

which is almost across the street at 95 Queens Quay East,

will impact the future residents of this area. 

Some people see this, as an industrial site and therefore not a desirable residential area.
