I still can’t get over how thin this building is going to be. For comparison, 432 Park Ave (which is 425m tall) has a floor plate of 28m x 28m. So while The One isn’t quite as thin or as tall it will stand out as a very skinny building, especially compared to its neighbour across the street. Let’s just hope the mass dampener works better than 432’s!

This actually has a larger floorplate than a typical building in Toronto. This has a floorplate of 956 square metres - most residential buildings in Toronto are 750 square metres maximum.

The One's design of 8 external concrete columns is atypically robust and gives the architect a number of options to accommodate bend and torsional wind loads. If there was any concern one could add additional lateral members between the columns.

The US in general is way better with flag representation than us.

Americans are patriotic, unlike we are in Canada. Every other American house has an American flag waving, barely see this in Canada.

That's probably a good thing...

...meanwhile, they're planning to wrap self illuminate ones around this building once it gets built: https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/concord-canada-house. Hope this helps to fill the glut in our flags here.

In the meantime, can we get back to this building please? Thnkx!
