As more units at Pinnacle One Yonge — including the SkyTower — reach final closing and occupancy, we're seeing a natural second wave of resale and lease activity from investors and end-users adjusting their plans. Here's how that's playing up against the broader downtown condo market.

The Broader Context

Downtown Toronto condos have been the split-personality story of this cycle: sales activity has been the strongest-growing segment of any housing type in the GTA, even as condo prices remain the softest. That's largely because a wave of pre-construction buildings — SkyTower among the higher-profile examples — completed around the same window, adding meaningful new supply into the resale and rental pool at once.

What It Means for Owners at One Yonge

  • Expect more competition on price, less on speed. With multiple units in the building potentially listed at once post-occupancy, standing out on presentation and pricing matters more than trying to be first to market.

  • Rental demand remains a strong backstop. Even where resale pricing is soft, rental demand in the GTA has stayed firm — a relevant option for owners not in a rush to sell into a temporarily crowded resale pool.

  • Floor and view premiums still hold. Even in a soft pricing environment, units with unobstructed lake or skyline views continue to command a premium over comparable units on lower or obstructed floors.

What It Means for Buyers Looking at One Yonge

  • This is a genuine window for negotiating room on units from owners who bought pre-construction and are adjusting plans post-closing.

  • Compare price-per-square-foot across floors carefully — in a building this size, the spread between a well-positioned unit and a less desirable one can be significant.

  • Factor in maintenance fees and amenity access as part of your total cost comparison, not just purchase price.

The Bottom Line

One Yonge SkyTower is moving through the normal post-occupancy adjustment period that most major towers experience — more supply hitting resale and rental at once, softer short-term pricing, but strong underlying rental demand and location fundamentals. That combination tends to reward buyers who move now and owners who price realistically rather than chasing last year's numbers.

Thinking about buying, selling, or leasing at Pinnacle One Yonge? Let's look at current active units and recent comparable sales together.

If you are tracking the Toronto luxury real estate market this summer, it is easy to get distracted by the architectural milestones at 1 Yonge Street. Between the SkyTower officially topping off at a record-breaking 106 storeys and the Le Méridien hotel preparing for its grand opening, the building is dominating the headlines.

However, while the general public is focused on the skyline, institutional investors are looking at the ground game. The smartest money in the downtown core right now is hyper-focused on one specific upcoming event: the launch of Pinnacle One Yonge Phase 3.

Here is the data-driven reality of how master-planned communities work, the multi-billion-dollar transformation happening in the East Bayfront, and why securing a SkyTower assignment sale today is the ultimate strategic play before the end of 2026.

1. The Real Estate "Phase Pricing" Rule

To understand the current value of SkyTower (Phase 2), you have to look at what comes next. Pinnacle One Yonge is a massive 4.4 million square-foot master-planned community. The upcoming Phase 3 (the South Block) will introduce additional supertall towers, including a highly anticipated 92-storey structure measuring over 300 metres.

In real estate development, there is an ironclad rule: every subsequent phase of a master-planned community launches at a higher price-per-square-foot than the last. When Pinnacle International eventually brings Phase 3 to the pre-construction market, those units will reflect 2026/2027 construction costs and inflation. That new, higher launch price instantly establishes a new neighborhood baseline, immediately dragging up the appraised resale value of the existing SkyTower units. Buying into Phase 2 right now means you get to ride the equity wave created by Phase 3's future pricing.

2. The East Bayfront Economic Multiplier

SkyTower is not just a building; it is the western gateway to the largest urban revitalization project in North America. The East Bayfront and the Lower Yonge Precinct are currently undergoing a massive transformation that guarantees chronic, long-term rental demand and property appreciation.

Within a short walk of the SkyTower lobby, this eastern waterfront expansion is bringing:

  • 3 Million Square Feet of Commercial Space: Establishing a massive new employment hub outside of the traditional Financial District.

  • 8,000 New High-Paying Jobs: Flooding the immediate area with executive renters and buyers who demand zero-commute luxury living.

  • The Future Ontario Line: The massive transit infrastructure project will permanently connect the eastern waterfront to the rest of the city, delivering the historic "Transit Premium" to nearby real estate values.

3. The Closing Window for Assignment Sales

With SkyTower's first wave of residential occupancy officially targeted for Fall 2026, a very specific, highly lucrative investment window is shutting: the Assignment Sale market.

Right now, original buyers who purchased their SkyTower contracts years ago (at pre-inflation prices) are listing their assignments. Because the building has not yet registered with the city, you can step into their original contract—often securing a unit at a price-per-square-foot well below what the developer will charge for Phase 3, and below what the regular resale market will demand once the building opens.

Once the SkyTower officially registers in 2027 and these units hit the standard MLS resale market, the "discounted" assignment window will be permanently closed.

Position Yourself Before Phase 3 Launches

The most successful real estate investors do not wait for the neighborhood to finish; they buy the anchor asset just before the surrounding infrastructure completes.

With Phase 3 on the horizon, the East Bayfront booming, and the 106-storey structural risk completely eliminated, SkyTower is the most secure blue-chip asset on the Toronto waterfront today.

Toronto’s skyline is officially changing, and if you are following the city's luxury real estate market, all eyes are currently on the waterfront. The highly anticipated Pinnacle One Yonge SkyTower has reached its final height, and major announcements are dropping this week regarding move-in dates, public amenities, and ground-level retail.

Whether you are a pre-construction buyer, an investor, or simply tracking Toronto's architectural milestones, here is the latest, most searchable news on the SkyTower. For exclusive listings, floor plans, and deeper insights into this master-planned community, be sure to visit One Yonge SkyTower.

1. SkyTower Officially Tops Out at 106 Storeys

After years of construction, the SkyTower at One Yonge Street has officially topped out at a record-breaking 106 storeys (351.4 metres / 1,153 feet). This monumental milestone cements its status as Canada’s tallest building and the first residential tower in North America to reach 106 floors.

Because the structural concrete work is now complete, Pinnacle International has shifted its full attention to the meticulous interior finishing of the luxury suites, the installation of the high-performance glass curtain wall, and finalizing the massive 80,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor lifestyle amenities.

2. A 106th-Floor Restaurant Eye-Level With the CN Tower

One of the most exciting updates this June is the confirmation of what will occupy the absolute pinnacle of the building. Pinnacle CEO Michael De Cotiis recently confirmed that the entire 106th floor will not be a private penthouse, but instead a publicly accessible luxury restaurant.

  • Why it matters for Buyers: For decades, the CN Tower has held a monopoly on Toronto’s highest vantage point. Because the new SkyTower restaurant sits perfectly aligned with the CN Tower’s main observation deck, it creates a new "highest view" in town. This instantly elevates the global prestige (and property values) of the residential collections below.

3. Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel Opens This Summer

While residential move-ins are a few months away, the lower levels of the SkyTower are opening to the public right now. The Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle, a 223-room luxury hotel occupying the first 12 floors of the tower's podium, is slated for its grand opening this summer.

  • The Brand Return: This marks the Marriott-owned Le Méridien brand's first Canadian property in over 30 years.

  • Ground-Level Energy: The hotel brings three new in-house dining concepts and a world-class professional spa to the waterfront, transforming the foot of Yonge Street into a vibrant summer destination and granting residents access to a 5-star lifestyle just steps from their elevators.

4. Fall 2026 Occupancy: The Phased Move-In Begins

For investors and future residents holding the keys to 1 Yonge Street, the most pressing question has finally been answered: When can we move in?

Occupancy is officially targeted to begin in Fall 2026. However, moving into a 106-storey supertall skyscraper is a massive logistical operation. Move-ins will happen in phases to manage elevator traffic and safety. Residents in the lower half of the tower are expected to be the first to receive their keys this autumn, with the upper tiers—including the ultra-exclusive SkyVilla Collection (floors 100–104)—following in subsequent phases.

  • The PATH Connection: Upon occupancy, SkyTower's highly anticipated underground connection to the PATH system will activate. This will provide residents with a climate-controlled, 10-minute indoor walk directly to Union Station, the Financial District bank towers, and Scotiabank Arena.

5. Retail Leasing Heating Up at Base

With The Prestige (Phase 1) already fully occupied and the SkyTower wrapping up, retail leasing at the base of the development is currently in high gear. While recognizable brands like BMO, Tim Hortons, and boutique beauty bars are already operating at grade in the first phase, developers are actively pushing for international brands to anchor the remaining ground-level commercial spaces at the base of the SkyTower.

Market Takeaway

The transition from a construction site to a living, breathing landmark is happening right now. With the hotel opening this summer, the 106th-floor restaurant generating massive buzz, and the first wave of residents preparing for Fall 2026 occupancy, the momentum at Canada's most famous intersection is at an all-time high.

Big changes are coming to SkyTower at One Yonge Street. In fact, the master-planned community is getting ready for a massive summer launch.

While the upper residential floors are preparing for Fall 2026 move-ins, the lower commercial levels are about to open their doors to the public. This milestone marks the moment where SkyTower Toronto transforms from a construction site into a lively urban hub. Let's take a closer look at what is opening at Canada's top address.

The Le Méridien Hotel Opening

The prestigious Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel occupies the first 12 floors of the magnificent tower. Consequently, its official opening is a major event.

This project marks the return of the famous Le Méridien luxury brand to Canada. The hotel brings grand meeting rooms, upscale spaces, and three brand-new dining concepts right to the ground level. Furthermore, the hotel will feature a world-class professional spa. As a result, residents living above the hotel can enjoy a 5-star lifestyle just steps from their elevator doors.

The 106th Floor Luxury Restaurant

The absolute biggest news of the week centers around the very peak of the tower. For a long time, people wondered what would go on the final 106th floor.

Pinnacle International recently confirmed that the entire top floor will become a public luxury restaurant. Because the building is topped off, this space sits eye-to-eye with the CN Tower’s main observation deck. Therefore, guests will soon be able to enjoy fine dining while looking down upon the entire city of Toronto. It will easily become the most sought-after reservation in the country.

A True City Within a City

These new openings show that 1 Yonge Street is more than a standard condo building. It is a fully functioning "city within a city".

For example, the base of the tower holds 80,000 square feet of retail shops and a massive 50,000 square foot community centre. Additionally, the direct underground PATH connection allows you to walk to Union Station in climate-controlled comfort. Everything you could ever need for work, play, or dining is built directly into your neighborhood.

Don't Miss Your Final Chance to Buy

With the luxury hotel opening and the building nearing completion, real estate interest is hitting a high point. Because of this, the remaining suites are selling out quickly.

Once the public starts dining at the base and visiting the tower, condo values will likely climb. Therefore, securing your piece of this historic landmark right now is a smart move.

Everyone assumes the top floor of a 106-storey luxury condo is reserved for an ultra-exclusive, multi-million dollar penthouse. The big news right now is that Pinnacle International is flipping the script: the absolute peak of the newly topped-off SkyTower will be a publicly accessible destination.

Now that Canada's tallest residential building has officially reached its final height of 351.4 metres, the skyline is set. But what’s actually going inside? Here is everything you need to know about the new era of 1 Yonge Street as we head into the summer of 2026.

The New "Highest View" in Town

For decades, the CN Tower has held a monopoly on Toronto’s highest vantage point. That is about to change.

Now that the 12-sided SkyTower has topped off, it's a physical reality that the 106th floor sits perfectly aligned with the CN Tower's main observation deck. Pinnacle CEO Michael De Cotiis recently confirmed that this entire top floor will be a public luxury restaurant.

It will be the first time locals can get a 360-degree, sky-high view of the city without buying a ticket for the CN Tower. Whether it becomes the city's new ultimate date night spot or a place to take visiting family, the 106th floor is designed to draw visitors from across the city and internationally.

The Summer 2026 Hotel Opening

While residents won't start moving into the upper floors until this fall, the lower levels are about to open their doors to the public.

The Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle hotel occupies the first 12 floors of the tower and is slated to open this summer. This marks a major milestone: it is the first time the Le Méridien brand has operated in Canada in over 30 years.

The hotel isn't just for tourists; it brings three new in-house dining concepts to the ground level, turning the foot of Yonge Street into a new summer hangout spot. The hotel will also feature a professional spa offering massages and body treatments—bringing New York or London-level integrated luxury to the Toronto waterfront.

The Retail Race and the PATH Connection

For most of Toronto’s history, the waterfront south of the Gardiner Expressway existed in a kind of seasonal rhythm—active in the summer, quiet the rest of the year. The density of SkyTower is changing that permanently.

Because the tower will soon feature a climate-controlled underground connection directly to the PATH system (and Union Station), the retail space at the base of the building is gearing up to be a year-round hub. The retail leasing window is currently wide open, and developers are heavily pushing for international brands to anchor the ground level.

When developers say a building has "world-class amenities," it almost always means a gym with a few Pelotons, a party room with a pool table, and a rooftop terrace with some deck chairs.

SkyTower at One Yonge Street is something categorically different.

With over 80,000 square feet of lifestyle amenity space, a full 50,000 sq ft municipal-grade community recreation centre, a Le Méridien luxury hotel on the lower floors, and a planned 106th-floor restaurant that will be the highest dining experience in Canada — SkyTower's amenity package is not a checkbox. It is the core of the building's value proposition.

This guide covers every major amenity at One Yonge SkyTower in detail: what it is, where it is, and what it actually means for daily life as a resident.


The 80,000+ Square Feet of Residential Amenities

To put 80,000 square feet in context: that is roughly the size of a large suburban big-box store. Divided across multiple floors and categories, it represents one of the most comprehensive amenity packages ever assembled in a Canadian residential building.

The Outdoor Amenity Deck

SkyTower's outdoor amenity space is positioned on the podium — several storeys above street level — providing elevated outdoor living with lake and city views while remaining sheltered from street-level wind and noise.

Outdoor swimming pool: A resort-calibre outdoor pool serves as the centrepiece of the amenity deck in summer. Surrounded by lounge seating and a social atmosphere, the pool deck is where the building's community gathers on warm evenings.

Outdoor terrace and lounge areas: Landscaped terraces with curated furniture and outdoor kitchen/BBQ facilities extend the living space outside during Toronto's spring, summer, and fall months.

Fitness and Wellness

SkyTower's fitness facilities go well beyond the standard "hotel gym" model that defines most condo buildings.

The main fitness centre: A state-of-the-art fitness facility equipped for serious training — cardio equipment, free weights, resistance machines, functional training areas, and dedicated stretching zones. The scale and quality are closer to a premium private gym than anything typically found in residential buildings.

Yoga and movement studio: A dedicated studio for yoga, Pilates, barre, and other group or individual movement practices. Mirrored, sprung-floor space designed for the purpose — not a multi-purpose room with a yoga mat rolled out.

Spa and wellness facilities: Sauna and steam rooms, and relaxation areas that allow for recovery and decompression without leaving the building.

Social and Entertaining Spaces

The Sky Lounge: Located on one of the building's upper amenity floors, the Sky Lounge offers panoramic views of the city and lake — a private entertaining and social space exclusively for residents. Think of it as a members club 70+ storeys above the Toronto waterfront.

Private dining rooms: Bookable private dining rooms for residents hosting dinner parties or business dinners who want the elegance of a restaurant-quality setting with the privacy of their own space.

Co-working and business lounges: For residents who work from home — or who want to take calls and meetings away from their suite — dedicated co-working spaces with high-speed internet, boardroom-style meeting rooms, and lounge seating provide a professional environment within the building.

Party room and event spaces: Large-format entertaining spaces for residents hosting celebrations. Catering kitchen, flexible layout, and direct access to outdoor terrace areas.

Guest and Lifestyle Amenities

Guest suites: Hotel-quality guest suites within the building allow residents to host out-of-town visitors without converting their own suite into a hotel room. Available to book for residents' guests.

Concierge and front desk: 24/7 staffed concierge service — accepting deliveries, coordinating services, providing building information, and managing the day-to-day logistics that make urban living effortless.

Pet amenities: A dedicated pet spa/wash station for the building's dog-owning residents — a small but appreciated detail that reflects the thoroughness of SkyTower's amenity planning.


The Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel — Residents Live Above a 5-Star Hotel

This is SkyTower's most extraordinary amenity differentiator: the building literally contains a luxury hotel on its lower floors.

Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle occupies approximately the first 12 floors of the building's podium and opens in Fall 2026 alongside the initial residential occupancy. With 223 rooms, the hotel marks the prestigious Marriott-owned Le Méridien brand's return to Canada.

What the Hotel Means for SkyTower Residents

Hotel-quality services at your front door: Room service delivery to your suite, in-suite housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning services, and luggage storage — hotel conveniences accessed by residents through the building.

The Le Méridien Hub (lobby lounge): Le Méridien's signature "Hub" concept — an all-day social lounge that transitions from morning coffee service to afternoon cocktails — is located in the hotel's lobby level, accessible to residents as part of the building community.

The hotel spa: The hotel spa will offer professional treatments — massage, facial, body treatments — without leaving 1 Yonge Street. This level of in-building spa access is typically reserved for the most elite residential towers in New York, Hong Kong, and London.

Hotel dining: Two distinct restaurants within the hotel component will serve residents and hotel guests alike — providing curated dining options without the need to leave the building for special occasions.

Guest accommodation: When visitors come to stay, residents can book them into the Le Méridien rather than their own suite. A genuinely novel luxury: hosting someone in a 5-star hotel that is literally in your building.

The hotel energy: There is something undeniable about living above an operational luxury hotel. The lobby energy, the professional staff, the constant hum of hospitality — it elevates the overall experience of the building in a way that is difficult to quantify but easy to feel.


The 50,000 Sq Ft Community Recreation Centre

Pinnacle One Yonge includes a 50,000 square foot community recreation centre — the first such full-scale municipal facility ever built inside a private development in Toronto. This is not an amenity for the exclusive use of SkyTower residents; it is a genuine community facility open to the surrounding neighbourhood.

The Aquatic Centre

A 6-lane, 25-metre indoor swimming pool — a serious, regulation-compliant competition pool — serves as the centrepiece of the recreation centre's sports facilities. The pool includes a poolside climbing wall, one of its most distinctive features, and is complemented by a separate warm-water leisure pool.

For residents who train competitively, want year-round lap swimming, or simply want their children to have access to a world-class aquatic facility, the recreation centre delivers something that even most premium buildings cannot offer.

The Gymnasium

A full-size, regulation basketball and volleyball court with 20-foot ceilings — accommodating formal leagues, pickup games, and recreational play. The scale of this facility reflects the community recreation mandate of the One Yonge master plan in a way that no standard condo gym can match.

Program Rooms

Multiple dedicated activity rooms support programmed classes in yoga, Zumba, dance, and functional fitness. Unlike a multipurpose room pressed into service for fitness classes, these rooms are purpose-built for their intended use.


The 106th Floor Restaurant: Dining Above the CN Tower's Observation Deck

Perhaps no amenity at SkyTower has generated more conversation than the planned restaurant on the 106th floor — the highest restaurant in Canada.

When it opens, diners will be at the same elevation as the CN Tower's main observation pod — the "glass floor" level that has made the CN Tower one of the world's most visited attractions since the 1970s. The difference: instead of paying for a tourist experience, you'll be dining in a curated restaurant environment with 360-degree panoramas.

The commercial tenant for the 106th floor restaurant has not been publicly announced at the time of writing. What is confirmed: the space is designed for a destination dining concept — not a casual café, but an experience that will draw visitors from across the city and internationally.

For SkyTower residents, the 106th floor restaurant will be at once a world-class dining destination and an elevator ride away.


The PATH Connection: The Most Practical Amenity

In Toronto, one amenity outranks every pool, spa, and rooftop lounge in practical daily-life value: direct connection to the PATH network.

Upon Fall 2026 occupancy, SkyTower's underground connection to the PATH system will activate — linking residents by climate-controlled walkways to:

  • Union Station: 10 minutes on foot, entirely indoors. GO Train, TTC Line 1 and 2, UP Express to Pearson Airport.

  • The Financial District: Bay Street bank towers (RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO, Scotiabank) accessible without outdoor exposure.

  • Scotiabank Arena: Walk to Maple Leafs and Raptors games in January without a coat.

  • Shopping: The Eaton Centre and hundreds of PATH-connected retail shops.

When Toronto winters average -10°C for months at a stretch, this is not a luxury — it is a lifestyle-defining feature that residents of PATH-connected buildings use daily and would never give up.


Everything Together: The Resident Experience

The SkyTower amenity package is designed around a central idea: the building should be so complete that leaving it is a choice, not a necessity.

On any given morning, a SkyTower resident can:

  • Run laps in the 6-lane 25m competition pool

  • Grab coffee from the Le Méridien Hub lobby lounge

  • Walk to the Financial District via PATH without touching outdoor air

  • Work from the co-working lounge during the day

  • Hit the fitness centre after work

  • Host dinner in the private dining room that evening

  • Walk their dog using the pet wash station on the way back

All without leaving 1 Yonge Street.

That is the lifestyle SkyTower's amenity package was designed to enable — and it is why this building represents a fundamentally different level of residential experience than what exists anywhere else in Canada.

One of the most common questions from buyers researching SkyTower at One Yonge Street: "What's actually different between the collections? Is it just the floor number, or are there real distinctions that justify the price difference?"

The answer is: real, meaningful distinctions. SkyTower's four collections — Signature, Landmark, Vista, and SkyVilla — are not simply the same suite at higher elevations. Each represents a genuinely different residential experience, defined by finish level, average suite size, view character, and the daily feeling of living at that specific altitude.

This guide puts all four side by side so you can make a clear, informed decision before submitting your worksheet.

The Signature Collection: Where to Start

The Signature Collection is SkyTower's largest and most varied offering — 69 residential floors of modern, well-specified suites that represent the building's entry-level luxury standard.

"Entry-level" in this context means: modern integrated appliances, quartz countertops, engineered hardwood, floor-to-ceiling windows, and full access to 80,000+ sq ft of building amenities. The word "entry" refers to price relative to the building, not to quality.

The Signature sweet spot: Floors 60–82. At these elevations, Signature suites begin to clear many of the mid-rise towers surrounding the waterfront. The lake view becomes expansive. The city view extends significantly. But the price remains at Signature levels.

Buyers who want the 1 Yonge address with smart value should focus their search between floors 60 and 82 of the Signature Collection.

Who chooses Signature:

  • Young professionals entering luxury ownership for the first time

  • Investors who want the address and rental premium at the most manageable price

  • Buyers who want to be in the building but are less focused on maximum altitude

Typical layouts:

  • Studios (select floors, approx. 400–480 sq ft)

  • One-bedroom (approx. 500–620 sq ft)

  • One-bedroom + den (approx. 620–730 sq ft)

  • Two-bedroom (approx. 750–900 sq ft)

Interior specifications include:

  • Integrated appliance packages concealed behind cabinetry panels

  • Quartz countertops in kitchen and bathrooms

  • Engineered hardwood flooring throughout living areas

  • Floor-to-ceiling windows (9' ceilings on most floors)

  • Spa-inspired bathrooms with soaker tub and/or walk-in shower depending on layout

The Landmark Collection: The Prestige Entry Point

Six floors. Floors 83–88. If the Signature Collection is the building's body, Landmark is where the upper tier begins.

Landmark suites start where Signature ends — and they immediately feel different. The average floor plate at Landmark expands relative to the mid-Signature floors. The finish level upgrades meaningfully. And the elevation clears virtually every competing building in central Toronto.

What you're buying at Landmark:

  • Larger, more generous layouts than the Signature average — particularly in the kitchen and living zones

  • Premium hardware, cabinetry, and surface specifications

  • A genuinely cleared skyline in most directions — no crane, no neighbouring tower interrupting your view

  • The psychological satisfaction of being in the building's upper tier

The Landmark value proposition: For buyers who find Vista pricing challenging but want the upper-tower experience, Landmark is the collection where that experience begins. Floors 83–88 provide a meaningfully different view quality than even the highest Signature floors — the feeling of being above the city, rather than in it, becomes real.

Who chooses Landmark:

  • Buyers upgrading from a standard condo who want a step-change in lifestyle

  • Corporate professionals who want to entertain in a home that communicates success

  • Buyers who want to be clearly in SkyTower's upper tier without Vista pricing

Typical layouts:

  • One-bedroom + den (approx. 680–780 sq ft)

  • Two-bedroom (approx. 850–1,050 sq ft)

  • Two-bedroom + den (approx. 1,000–1,200 sq ft)

The Vista Collection: The Luxury Residential Standard

The Vista Collection — floors 89 through 99 — is where SkyTower's altitude becomes genuinely extraordinary.

At floor 89, you are above essentially every piece of competing mid-rise construction in Toronto's downtown core. The CN Tower sits at eye level on the western horizon. Lake Ontario extends unobstructed to the south. The Greater Toronto Area's suburban landscape stretches north. The view in all four directions is effectively unlimited.

What distinguishes Vista:

  • Completely cleared views in all directions. There is nothing between a Vista suite's windows and the horizon. This is the defining experiential difference.

  • Larger floor plates. Vista floors have structural configurations that enable wider, more dramatic suites than the floors below. Two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den layouts at Vista feel meaningfully more spacious than their square-footage equivalents lower in the building.

  • Premium specifications throughout. Vista's interior finish standard is a step above Landmark — enhanced materiality, expanded customization options, and a design sensibility that reflects the calibre of buyer these suites attract.

  • The entertaining factor. Vista suites are designed for people who love to host. The combination of expansive layouts and spectacular views creates dinner-party moments that no other address in Toronto can replicate.

Who chooses Vista:

  • Established professionals and executives who have earned the right to the best

  • Buyers downsizing from large suburban homes who refuse to sacrifice space or lifestyle

  • Design-forward buyers who want a home that is itself an architectural statement

Typical layouts:

  • Two-bedroom (approx. 900–1,100 sq ft)

  • Two-bedroom + den (approx. 1,100–1,400 sq ft)

  • Three-bedroom (approx. 1,300–1,700 sq ft)

  • Sub-penthouse configurations on select floors

The SkyVilla Collection: Canada's Highest Homes

SkyVilla occupies floors 100 through 104 — the highest residential floors of any building in Canada. Living in a SkyVilla suite means living at the same elevation as the CN Tower's main observation deck. The one tourists queue for. The one with the glass floor.

The difference: SkyVilla residents don't queue. They live there.

What makes SkyVilla categorically different from any other suite in the building:

Pure altitude. Floor 100 is 100 floors above the ground — above weather systems that create clouds at mid-tower levels, above virtually all man-made structures in the Toronto skyline, above everything except the CN Tower's antenna spire. The view quality at SkyVilla is not incremental improvement over Vista — it is a different category of visual experience.

Radical privacy. Only 2–4 suites per floor. At the top of a 106-storey building, each floor is a nearly private level. The resident experience is more penthouse estate than standard condominium.

The mega-suite opportunity. SkyVilla is where buyers are combining adjacent units to create custom residences of 2,500–5,000+ sq ft. These custom mega-suites offer the square footage of a large house at an elevation that no house could achieve — with all of SkyTower's building amenities available via elevator.

Bespoke specifications. SkyVilla buyers work directly with Pinnacle's design team on finish customization at a level not available in other collections. The suites at this level are genuinely unique.

The trophy asset reality: SkyVilla is the rarest residential product in Canada — there are approximately 8–16 SkyVilla suites in the entire building (2–4 per floor × 5 floors). When the building registers, these will become among the most recognizable resale addresses in the country.

Who chooses SkyVilla:

  • Buyers for whom the SkyTower address is specifically the point — who want the definitive statement

  • Families combining multiple units for a bespoke luxury estate

  • International buyers from markets where supertall penthouse living is a standard luxury category

  • Long-term trophy asset investors who want the irreplaceable

Typical configurations:

  • Three-bedroom villas (approx. 1,800–2,400 sq ft)

  • Custom combined suites (2,500–5,000+ sq ft)

  • Only 2–4 suites per floor — true private-floor living at the top

The Decision Framework: Four Questions to Find Your Collection

1. What's your primary driver — address/brand or maximum altitude? If you want the 1 Yonge address at the most accessible price: Signature. If altitude and view quality are the priority: Vista or SkyVilla.

2. How do you use your home? Heavy entertaining and hosting → Vista or SkyVilla (larger layouts, spectacular views) Primarily a base for urban living → Signature or Landmark

3. What's your investment horizon? 5–7 years: Any collection — focus on price-per-sq-ft value 10+ years, trophy asset: SkyVilla or high Vista

4. Is combined square footage important? Need 2,000+ sq ft: Vista (large 3BR) or SkyVilla (combined units) 700–1,200 sq ft works: Signature upper floors or Landmark

One Yonge SkyTower has officially topped off. At 106 storeys and 351.4 metres, it now stands as Canada's tallest residential building — permanently reshaping Toronto's skyline and establishing a new benchmark for luxury living in the country.

But SkyTower is more than a height record. It is a comprehensively designed residential experience: four distinct suite collections, over 80,000 sq ft of curated amenities, a Le Méridien luxury hotel, direct PATH connectivity, and a waterfront address at the literal bottom of Yonge Street.

This is the complete guide to One Yonge SkyTower — everything you need to know about the building, from the ground floor to the 106th storey.

The Story of One Yonge SkyTower

To understand why SkyTower exists — and why it exists specifically at this address — you have to understand the history of 1 Yonge Street.

For decades, the corner of Yonge and Queens Quay — the symbolic base of Yonge Street where it reaches Lake Ontario — was occupied by the Toronto Star's printing facility. A low-rise industrial building sat at arguably the most significant urban intersection in the country, blocking the waterfront from the city.

When Pinnacle International acquired the site, the vision was transformational: not just a tower, but a complete urban neighbourhood. A community that would finally connect the bottom of Yonge Street to the lake in a meaningful, human-scaled way — while building the most extraordinary residential address in the country.

The result is Pinnacle One Yonge. SkyTower is its centrepiece.

The Extra 11 Storeys

One of the most interesting chapters in SkyTower's development story: the building was originally approved at 95 storeys. Mid-construction, Pinnacle received approval from the City of Toronto to extend the tower by an additional 11 storeys — reaching 106.

This extension created the current top-floor suite inventory — the Landmark (floors 83–88), Vista (floors 89–99), and SkyVilla (floors 100–104) collections were partially or fully affected by this extension, and the top-floor suites were briefly held back from public sale while the revised approvals were processed. They have now been released — representing the final opportunity to purchase at the very apex of Canada's tallest building.


The Architecture: Engineering Canada's Tallest

Building a 106-storey supertall skyscraper presents engineering challenges that standard high-rise construction simply doesn't encounter. SkyTower's structural design reflects solutions to these challenges.

Wind management: At over 350 metres, SkyTower's upper floors experience wind conditions that require specific structural engineering. The building incorporates a tuned mass damper system — a massive counterweight system that moves in opposition to wind-induced sway, keeping movement within comfortable limits for residents. This is the same technology used in the Taipei 101, the Shanghai World Financial Centre, and New York's 432 Park Avenue.

Foundation: A supertall building on Toronto's waterfront required deep piling into bedrock — one of the most technically demanding aspects of the project. The foundation work is complete, obviously, but worth noting as a testament to the engineering investment in this building's permanence.

The glass curtain wall: SkyTower's exterior cladding — the high-performance glass and metal panel system currently being installed on the upper floors — is engineered for the specific thermal, acoustic, and structural requirements of a supertall waterfront building. The system provides exceptional thermal insulation (critical for the upper floors' climate), noise reduction, and the floor-to-ceiling glass proportions that make the views possible.


The Four Collections: SkyTower's Suite Hierarchy

One Yonge SkyTower is organized into four distinct suite collections, each occupying a specific vertical band of the tower and offering a different elevation of luxury, view quality, and suite scale.

The Signature Collection (Floors 14–82)

The foundation of SkyTower's residential offering. Signature suites occupy the first 70 residential floors of the building, ranging from efficient one-bedroom layouts designed for urban professionals to larger two-bedroom configurations.

What defines Signature suites:

  • Sleek, modern interior designs with open-concept layouts

  • Floor-to-ceiling windows with city, lake, and skyline views that improve with every floor

  • High-quality finishes including integrated appliances, quartz countertops, and premium bathroom fixtures

  • Full access to all 80,000+ sq ft of building amenities

  • Fastest elevator access to the PATH connection and hotel amenities below

Signature is SkyTower's most accessible collection by price — and for buyers who want to own in Canada's tallest building without the premium required for the upper collections, it represents exceptional value at an unmatched address.

View Signature Floor Plans →

The Landmark Collection (Floors 83–88)

Landmark suites occupy a transitional zone in the tower — elevated above the vast majority of the Signature floors, with meaningfully higher views, and defined by upgraded interior specifications.

What distinguishes Landmark:

  • Elevated floor levels providing cleared, unobstructed views in most directions

  • Premium finish upgrades over the Signature standard

  • Larger average suite footprints

  • The psychological and physical distinction of being in the building's upper tier

Landmark represents the entry point to SkyTower's prestige vertical — high enough to feel genuinely different from the mid-tower experience, without the price premium of Vista or SkyVilla.

View Landmark Floor Plans →

The Vista Collection (Floors 89–99)

Vista suites are where SkyTower's altitude becomes truly spectacular. Floors 89 and above clear virtually every other building in Toronto's skyline — the views in all four cardinal directions are essentially unobstructed.

What defines Vista:

  • Completely cleared skyline views — nothing between you and Lake Ontario, the CN Tower, or the horizon

  • Expansive suite layouts designed for buyers who prioritize space and entertaining

  • Premium interior specifications throughout

  • The experience of living in Toronto's clouds — above the weather patterns that often obscure mid-level views

Vista suites are among the most sought-after in the building and represent the sweet spot between genuine altitude luxury and the ultra-exclusivity of SkyVilla.

View Vista Floor Plans →

The SkyVilla Collection (Floors 100–104)

Canada's ultimate residential address. SkyVilla suites occupy the four highest residential floors in the country — sitting at approximately the same elevation as the CN Tower's main observation deck.

What makes SkyVilla extraordinary:

  • The highest residential floors in Canada — full stop

  • Direct sightline to the CN Tower glass floor observation deck

  • Ultra-private — minimal suites per floor, often just 2–4 residences at this level

  • Custom suite specifications available — some buyers have combined adjacent units to create mega-suites of 2,500–5,000+ sq ft

  • 360-degree panoramas of Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands, the entire GTA skyline, and on clear days, the New York State shoreline across the lake

SkyVilla is not just a condominium. It is a trophy asset in the truest sense — a finite, irreplaceable product that will never have meaningful supply competition in Toronto.

For decades, One Yonge Street was one of the most recognizable — and most underutilized — addresses in Canada. The corner of Yonge Street and Queens Quay: the literal bottom of the city's most famous street, where it meets Lake Ontario. A location of unmatched symbolic importance, yet for years occupied by a low-rise newspaper printing facility that blocked the waterfront from the street.

That chapter is over. The transformation of 1 Yonge Street into Pinnacle One Yonge — a master-planned community anchored by the 106-storey SkyTower — is one of the most ambitious and consequential urban development stories in Toronto's history. And in Fall 2026, the first residents will call it home.

This is the complete guide to One Yonge Street: what it is, why this address matters, and why it represents one of the last genuine landmark residential opportunities in Canada.


The Address That Defines a City

Yonge Street holds a specific place in Canadian geography. Historically recognized as one of the longest streets in the world — running from the shores of Lake Ontario to the far reaches of Ontario — Yonge has always been the spine of Toronto. Number 1 is its origin point: the intersection with the lake.

For a city that has struggled for decades to connect its downtown core to its waterfront, 1 Yonge Street sits at the exact geographic fulcrum of that ambition. It is where the Financial District meets the harbour, where the PATH network can extend to the lake, where the city's most famous street begins (or ends).

Pinnacle International — one of Canada's largest and most experienced developers — recognized that developing this address required something extraordinary. The result is a master plan that will ultimately encompass multiple supertall residential towers, a 50,000 sq ft community recreation centre, a Le Méridien luxury hotel, 80,000 sq ft of retail and dining, and a 2.5-acre public park. All at the foot of Yonge Street, on the shore of Lake Ontario.


What Pinnacle One Yonge Actually Is

The development at 1 Yonge Street is not a single tower — it is a phased master-planned community that will eventually be one of the largest urban developments in Toronto's history.

Phase 1 (Complete): The Prestige and Festival towers, completed several years ago, established the community's residential foundation and have been occupied for years. These towers proved the demand for waterfront living at this address.

Phase 2 — SkyTower (Fall 2026 occupancy): The headline building. At 106 storeys and 351.4 metres, SkyTower is Canada's tallest residential building — and will be for the foreseeable future. The tower recently topped off its concrete structure and is now in the interior finishing phase ahead of Fall 2026 move-ins.

Phase 3 (Future development): Two additional supertall towers — planned at 80 and 85 storeys — will anchor the south block of the community, bringing additional retail, office, and residential density to what will become one of Toronto's most complete urban neighbourhoods.


The SkyTower: Records That Matter

SkyTower's height isn't just a marketing statistic — it creates measurable, real-world advantages for residents that no other building in Canada currently offers.

351.4 metres (1,153 feet). SkyTower's rooftop sits approximately level with the CN Tower's main observation pod — the "glass floor" observation level that tourists pay to visit. Residents of SkyTower's upper floors live at that altitude permanently.

106 storeys. The highest residential floor in the building sits approximately 100 floors above the ground — above virtually every piece of urban infrastructure, every crane, every building crane and rooftop antenna in the city. The views are entirely unobstructed in every direction.

Canada's tallest residential building. This is a permanent title — not a "tallest building currently under construction" qualifier. SkyTower is the completed tallest. There is no taller project under construction in Canada today that will surpass it.

Why this matters for residents: A supertall building creates a permanent "sky address" that cannot be replicated by any competing development. No matter what gets built around One Yonge Street in the future, SkyTower will remain the tallest residential building for the foreseeable future. The views from the upper floors are permanently protected by physics.


The Address Premium: Why 1 Yonge Street Holds Its Value

In global luxury real estate, an address is not just a location — it is a brand. One Yonge Street has a level of brand recognition that almost no other Toronto address can claim.

Consider the comparable dynamics in other global cities:

  • New York: 432 Park Avenue, One57, 220 Central Park South — supertall addresses on prestige streets command permanent price premiums over comparable product elsewhere

  • Chicago: 875 North Michigan Avenue, 400 North Lake Shore Drive — iconic addresses on the lake hold their value through multiple market cycles

  • London: One Hyde Park — the address is inseparable from the premium

1 Yonge Street carries that same rare combination: iconic address + lakefront + record-breaking height + master-planned community. These are not replicable. There is only one 1 Yonge Street, only one intersection of Yonge and the lake, and only one building at this address that will ever be Canada's tallest residential tower.

For investors and owner-occupiers with long time horizons, this type of irreplaceable attribute — address uniqueness — is historically the most reliable driver of long-term real estate value preservation.


Who Is Buying at 1 Yonge Street?

The buyer profile at SkyTower is more diverse than the "ultra-luxury" label might suggest:

Young professionals: The Signature Collection (floors 14–82) offers one-bedroom and one-plus-den suites at price points accessible to early-career professionals in finance, tech, and law. The PATH connection to the Financial District, the Le Méridien hotel amenities below, and the address prestige make this an exceptionally compelling first home in downtown Toronto.

Investors: Toronto's waterfront supply is finite. One Yonge Street's iconic address, the scarcity of comparable product, and the long-term population growth driving rental demand make SkyTower a considered choice for investors seeking a durable asset.

Luxury buyers and downsizers: The Vista and SkyVilla collections (floors 89–104) offer some of the largest, most private residential suites in Canada — ideal for buyers trading a large home for a lock-and-leave urban residence without sacrificing space or status.

International buyers: The 1 Yonge Street address has specific resonance with buyers from Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and New York who are familiar with waterfront supertall living and recognize Toronto's global trajectory.


The PATH Connection: Toronto's Secret Weapon

For anyone not familiar with Toronto's winter realities, the PATH network is not a luxury amenity — it is a genuine quality-of-life feature that changes daily life in a meaningful way.

Toronto's PATH is the world's largest underground pedestrian network: 33 kilometres of climate-controlled walkways connecting over 70 buildings, 6 subway stations, Union Station, and hundreds of retail shops, restaurants, and services in the downtown core.

SkyTower's direct PATH connection means residents can walk from their front door at 1 Yonge Street to:

  • Union Station (GO Train, TTC subway, UP Express to Pearson Airport) in minutes — entirely indoors

  • Scotiabank Arena (Maple Leafs, Raptors) without stepping outside

  • Bay Street bank towers (RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO headquarters) without seeing winter weather

  • The Eaton Centre via the underground network

In January, this means leaving home in a t-shirt and arriving at the office without touching a coat. The PATH connection is the most practical, daily-life differentiating feature of the 1 Yonge Street address — and it activates upon initial occupancy in Fall 2026.


The Neighbourhood: What's Around 1 Yonge Street

The common misconception about the 1 Yonge Street address is that it sits at a busy intersection with nothing around it. The reality in 2026 is dramatically different.

Immediate (0–5 min walk):

  • Farm Boy grocery (250m east, Sugar Wharf)

  • Loblaws full-service grocery (350m east)

  • Sugar Beach park (across Queens Quay)

  • Harbour Square Park and waterfront promenade

  • Jarvis Slip Marina and ferry terminal

Short walk (5–15 min):

  • St. Lawrence Market (world-famous weekend market)

  • Distillery District (restaurants, bars, galleries)

  • Union Station and the entire PATH network

  • King West and Entertainment District

  • The Financial District

The 2.5-acre community park at the centre of the Pinnacle One Yonge master plan provides a pedestrian-only green space insulating residents from the surrounding streets — effectively creating a private neighbourhood-within-the-neighbourhood at the foot of the tower.

If you’ve been researching SkyTower and Pinnacle One Yonge on local real estate forums, you’ve likely seen the debate. While everyone praises the record-breaking views and the climate-controlled underground PATH connection, some buyers hesitate, asking: "Isn’t 1 Yonge Street just a busy highway exit? Where do I buy groceries? Is there actually a real neighborhood vibe?"

It is a completely fair question if you are only looking at old Google Maps street views of Lake Shore Boulevard. But the reality on the ground today is drastically different.

The master plan for Pinnacle One Yonge wasn't just about building tall towers; it was about building a livable, highly walkable community from scratch. Here is your insider’s guide to the everyday logistics, walkability, and green spaces that prove 1 Yonge Street is far more than just a transit hub.


1. The 5-Minute Grocery Run

One of the biggest misconceptions about the waterfront is that it is a "food desert." The truth? Living at One Yonge means your pantry is practically an extension of your lobby. You never have to haul groceries on the subway.

  • Farm Boy (Sugar Wharf): Located just a 3-minute walk (approx. 250 meters) east at 100 Queens Quay East. This premium grocer gives you immediate access to fresh organic produce, artisan cheeses, and their famous chef-prepared hot food bars.

  • Loblaws Flagship (Lower Jarvis): Literally a 4-minute walk (approx. 350 meters) east along Queens Quay. This is a massive, full-scale grocery store equipped with a bakery, deli, butcher, Joe Fresh clothing line, and a pharmacy.

  • St. Lawrence Market: For weekend artisan shopping, the world-famous St. Lawrence Market is less than a 10-minute walk north, offering the best local meats, cheeses, and produce in the city.

2. Your Waterfront Backyard (Greenspace & Parks)

You do not need to sacrifice nature for skyline views. The immediate area surrounding SkyTower is anchored by some of Toronto's most beloved outdoor spaces, giving you immediate relief from the concrete jungle.

  • Sugar Beach: Just a 3-minute stroll south across Queens Quay brings you to Toronto’s iconic urban beach. With its signature pink umbrellas, white sand, and water features, it is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an afternoon read.

  • Harbour Square Park: A short walk west along the waterfront promenade offers quiet boardwalks, mature shade trees, and uninterrupted views of the Toronto Islands and passing ferries.

3. The "Architectural Buffer" (Isolating the Noise)

So, what about the traffic and noise from Lake Shore Boulevard? The developers at Pinnacle International anticipated this exact objection and designed the One Yonge master plan to act as an "architectural buffer" against the hustle of the city.

  • The 2.5-Acre Inner Courtyard: Instead of forcing residents to step out directly onto a busy intersection, the community is anchored by a massive 2.5-acre inner courtyard and public park (The Lower Yonge Precinct Park). This centralized green space creates a quiet, insulated neighborhood hub strictly for pedestrians, families, and dog walkers.

  • Widened Pedestrian Promenades: The streetscape surrounding the towers has been fundamentally redesigned. Massive setbacks, widened sidewalks, and mature tree plantings physically distance the building entrances from the road, actively absorbing noise and making the ground level feel like a serene European promenade rather than a highway on-ramp.


The Bottom Line: A Complete Neighborhood

The "highway exit" myth is officially dead. Between the immediate access to premium groceries, the stunning waterfront parks, and the ingenious 2.5-acre architectural buffer, the street-level experience at 1 Yonge Street is just as impressive as the 106-storey views.

You aren't just buying a condo with a PATH connection—you are buying into a fully realized, incredibly walkable downtown neighborhood.

The vision for Pinnacle One Yonge has always been about more than just building the tallest residential tower in Canada. It’s about creating a "City Within a City"—a vertical neighborhood where everything you need for a world-class lifestyle is just an elevator ride away.

As SkyTower nears its Fall 2026 occupancy, the ground-level and podium experiences are coming to life. For residents, this means the "lifestyle value" of One Yonge Street is about to skyrocket. Here is a look at the massive retail, hospitality, and community hubs that will anchor your life at the foot of Yonge.


The Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel (Opening Fall 2026)

One of the most prestigious additions to the waterfront is the Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel. Occupying the first 12 floors of SkyTower, this 223-room luxury hotel marks the brand’s highly anticipated return to Canada.

  • Amenities at Your Doorstep: Residents will live above a hub of international sophistication. The hotel will feature a mid-century modern aesthetic, a signature Le Méridien Hub (a social coffee-to-cocktails lobby lounge), and a high-end spa opening earlier in the summer.

  • The Outdoor Pool & Wellness: The hotel podium will host an outdoor swimming pool and whirlpool, adding to the resort-style energy of the building.

  • Dining Destinations: The hotel will house two distinct restaurants, providing SkyTower residents with elite dining options without ever leaving the building.

The 50,000 Sq. Ft. Community Recreation Centre

Pinnacle One Yonge is home to a massive, 50,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose community center. This isn't just a standard gym; it is a full-scale municipal facility—the first of its kind to be built inside a private development in Toronto.

  • The Aquatic Centre: Featuring a 6-lane, 25-meter indoor swimming pool that even includes a poolside climbing wall.

  • The Gymnasium: A full-size basketball and volleyball court with 20-foot ceilings, perfect for local leagues and active living.

  • Activity Rooms: Dedicated spaces for yoga, Zumba, dance, and functional fitness classes are already serving the burgeoning community.

80,000 Sq. Ft. of Curated Retail & Dining

The base of the tower is designed to be a vibrant promenade. With 80,000 sq. ft. of upcoming retail space, the "city" part of the "city within a city" is taking shape.

  • The 106th Floor Restaurant: While the ground floor will be bustling with boutiques and cafes, the "crown jewel" is the restaurant slated for the 106th floor. Imagine dining at the same eye-level as the CN Tower's observation pod, with 360-degree views of Lake Ontario and the glittering Toronto skyline.

  • The PATH Connection: This retail hub will eventually be the gateway to the underground PATH system, providing climate-controlled access to Union Station, the Financial District, and beyond.


Why the "Ground Level" Matters for Your Investment

When you buy into SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge, you aren't just buying square footage in the sky. You are buying immediate access to a luxury hotel, a premier fitness hub, and a massive retail promenade.

This level of density and amenity-rich living is what drives long-term property value. Whether you are looking for a SkyVilla or a luxury one-bedroom, the lifestyle at 1 Yonge Street is now a reality.

Right now, SkyTower at One Yonge Street is making headlines across the country. In fact, the developer just announced a massive update for late April 2026.

They are officially releasing the final, highly anticipated suites on the highest floors of the building. These units were previously held back from the public. As a result, buyers now have a rare chance to own real estate at the very peak of Canada’s tallest residential tower.

The Story Behind the "Held-Back" Floors

Why were these top floors kept secret? Originally, the city approved the SkyTower at 95 storeys. However, the developer later won approval to extend the tower to a record-breaking 106 storeys.

During that extension process, sales for the brand-new upper levels were paused. Now, with the building officially topped off, Pinnacle International is releasing this exclusive inventory. Therefore, the absolute best views at 1 Yonge Street are finally on the open market.

The New Trend: Custom Mega-Suites

With these top floors finally open, a new trend is taking over the Toronto luxury market. Wealthy buyers are snapping up multiple units and combining them.

For example, many buyers are merging suites to create massive, custom homes ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. Because of this, you get the space of a sprawling luxury mansion, but with the perks and security of a 5-star condo. Furthermore, these mega-suites sit perfectly level with the CN Tower’s observation deck. You simply cannot find a view like this anywhere else in North America.

Five-Star Perks Above the Clouds

Living on the top floors means you also get access to world-class perks. In fact, residents will enjoy 80,000 square feet of lifestyle spaces.

You can swim in the outdoor pool, work out in the massive gym, or relax in the chic lounges. Additionally, the new Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel will open on the lower floors this Fall. Consequently, condo residents can enjoy hotel perks like housekeeping and in-room dining. Finally, a luxury restaurant is opening on the 106th floor. You will literally be dining in the clouds.

High Urgency: Move-Ins Start This Fall

This is a high-urgency event. Move-ins begin in Fall 2026. Because of this, these final upper-level suites will sell out very fast.

Once the building opens and the public sees the finished lobbies and amenities, prices will likely jump. Therefore, securing your unit today is a very smart financial move.

Claim Your Place at the Top

Do you want to live at the peak of the Toronto skyline? Time is running out to claim these held-back suites.

Fill out our VIP registration form right here to get the exclusive price list for these final top-floor units. Do not miss your chance to build a custom mega-suite or secure a premier condo at Canada's ultimate address. Register today and prepare to move in this Fall!
