“One Bloor West is a bold new development in Toronto that will set new standards for commercial and retail accommodation in Canada.” — Foster & Partners

One Bloor West is a hotel, retail, restaurant and condominium. It’s a business. If there is an opportunity to monetize its height, Tridel would take it. It’s currently deep in red ink and landing a long term telecommunications deal could help bring it into the black.
Let's not give them any ideas

It's odd to say this looks stubby despite being so tall, but I'd love it if Tridel suddenly dropped a pair of radio masts on top of this. There's honestly no better place for another radio tower than right in the middle of Yonge & Bloor that could support downtown unobstructed and reach mid and uptown where the CN Tower is now getting out of view with so much in the downtown cluster.

It's so sad that this didn't get the height increase to make it more uniform (3 groups of floors per stack) :(
