The Toronto media has been buzzing about the release of Number One Bloor as official details are to be released later in the week! Great Gulf Homes has set up a massive white tent on the Bloor and Yonge corner, presumably as their sales centre. Many media outlets have been reporting Thursday March 25th as the day details are made public on the project.
Early reports have hinted to a 67 story tower being built on the site, but beyond that no much is known. The rendering above is the only image released thus far… the anticipation on this landmark project has definitely garnered the attention of many! Throughout the week, check back at BloorCondos.com as we’ll be constantly updating the blog with new info as it becomes available!
Today the Number One Bloor website was re-launched, and with it came our first look at the new tower! Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the 67 story luxury condo gives the Yonge and Bloor corner a new curvaceous feel. The first glimpse doesn’t really show much, but just enough to want more… What will the other 3 sides look like? How will the podium work in with the street? Hopefully in the coming weeks, these questions and more will be answered!

Things are really starting to look “up” for the most interesting corner in the City known simply as Number One Bloor! Earlier in the week we came across a City report looking into the possibily of a “sign variance” for the vacant lot. The report was pretty bland and basically recommends the refusal of the application…but on page 5 of the report is where things started to get interesting!
Right in the middle of the drawing was the following caption “Number One Bloor Proposed 65 Story Condominium”! This was the first glimpse we had into the possibility of new life at the site.
Today, Kelly Grant from the Globe and Mail ran a story outlining plans for a curvy 65-story condo sitting atop 104,000-square-foot retail podium making it a total of 67 stories. According to the article, Hariri Pontarini will be designing the tower, and like everyone else, we can’t wait to see what they come up with! They’ve designed other Yorkville projects including 80/100 Yorkville at Bellair, and the Florian to name a few!

A few weeks ago we blogged about the launch of a new condo at Bloor and Jarvis, the time has finally come. Join us for a special ONE night event at the X2 condo launch!
On Wednesday November 25th, 2009, X2 will be holding its broker-only sales event. Sales are scheduled to start 6:00pm sharp! Prices start at $465 / square foot which are very competitive for what the neighbourhood offers. The location gives you the best of both worlds. Walk to Yorkville/Bloor, or take in the Church Street scene. Two blocks west and you’re at subway. Two blocks north and you’re surrounded by the pristine tree-lined streets of Rosedale. X2 is centre stage and you’re the star. Keep in mind that these prices are for the one day launch only! Read the rest of this entry »
Get ready for X2, the latest condo to launch in the Bloor -Yorkville area! Lifetime Developments and Great Gulf Homes (builder of The Saint James, The Hudson, 18 Yorkville and the soon to be Number One Bloor) will be building its second tower at Bloor and Jarvis on Charles St. Unlike it’s predecessor X (currently under construction), X2 will feature a 9 story podium, complimented with a 42 story tower! Residents can expect floor to ceiling windows, 9 foot ceilings and interior designs by Cecconi Simone Design. Perched on top of the podium will be a landscaped sundeck with a seasonal swimming pool!
Units will be released in the coming weeks. If you’d like info on floorplans and prices, send us an email!
