Pre-Construction Toronto Condos for Sale and New Toronto Real Estate

Much Anticipated New Design for Number One Bloor Toronto Revealed!

Great Gulf Homes has revealed the most highly anticipated plans for the 1 Bloor Street East Toronto real estate site. Called Number One Bloor, Great Gulf Homes follows the cancelled 1 Bloor Street Toronto condo project originally designed and planned by Bazis International at this incredible project site. The new sculpted architectural design for the shorter Number One Bloor Toronto condo is impressive, and this skyscraper is ready for construction at the corner of Bloor and Yonge Streets. The public unveiling of the architecture for the Great Gulf Homes Toronto Number One Bloor condo high-rise tower was revealed in late March 2010 and this sculpted 65 storey luxury condo tower will be slightly shorter than the original plans for the 80 storey condominium high-rise planned by Bazis International (to become the highest residential high-rise tower in Canada at the time). The significant addition of the luxury Toronto Number One Bloor condo tower will represent three years of design, proposals and funding, and this mixed use development will combine a total of 690 suites along with 100,000 square feet of retail space along the main level and podium. The wavy design is sculpted in a way to make it feel more organic, but the tower still has a thinner seven storey base with a shopping centre and two level spa. The Hariri Pontarini Architect group designed the new Number One Bloor Toronto condo tower at 1 Bloor Street East, so that it doesn’t dominate the skyline, but perhaps adds to the unique modern edge of the Yonge-Bloor corridor. The 65 storey high-rise tower is set to launch presales this Spring 2010, and Great Gulf Homes has promised to make these pre-construction Toronto condos at Number One Bloor tower to be affordable for first time homebuyers and downsizers alike. Now with the unveiling of the renderings and architectural design of Number One Bloor Toronto homebuyers have a better sense of the design, exterior façade and striking architecture of this landmark tower.

Great Gulf Homes Toronto Number One Bloor Condos Takes Over Bazis International 1 Bloor Toronto Condominium Project

The most anticipated Toronto condo development of the decade is now here at the Toronto One Bloor Condos for sale! Here is some initial information as released by Great Gulf Homes, the real estate development team behind the iconic Number One Bloor Toronto condo tower project. The location of the new Great Gulf Homes One Bloor Toronto Condos is located right at 1 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario and will feature an impeccable locale at the southeast corner of Bloor Street and Yonge Street, in the heart of the city. The architect for the Number One Bloor Toronto condos for sale is Hariri Pontarini Architects and the Landscape Architect and Urban Design team consists of Janet Rosenberg + Associates Landscape Architecture. The interior designs of the ultra luxury Toronto One Bloor Condos will feature the impressive work of award winning Cecconi Simone Inc. The official district community in which the presale Toronto Number One Bloor condo tower is located is Bloor-Yorkville, one of the most prestigious and exciting communities in the city. In addition, the mixed use development will primarily include ultra high-end Toronto condos for sale, but the bottom two floors of the Number One Bloor Toronto condo podium will house luxury and boutique retail stores as well as services for residents to enjoy. What’s interesting about this Great Gulf Homes Number One Bloor Toronto condo development is that the original plans for this site at 1 Bloor Street East Toronto was owned by Bazis International, which ran into financial difficulties during the global financial crisis. Because of this, Bazis International was unable to find financing nor fund the development of the 1 Bloor Toronto condos as they were called. Therefore, Bazis International was forced to abandon their plans for the 1 Bloor Toronto condo high-rise that they so much wanted to build in the heart of the city, and things have looked good ever since. With Bazis International 1 Bloor Toronto condo project dead in the water, Great Gulf Homes acquired the site at 1 Bloor Street East in late 2009 and in December 2009, they announced the plans for a new condominium high-rise tower at this Bloor-Yorkville project site. Named Number One Bloor Toronto Condos by Great Gulf Homes, this follows in a long line of successful condominium towers at Charlie, X1 and X2 by this same developer.
