A cutting-edge approach to residential wellness is happening in Toronto
World-class amenities at The One allow you to nurture your health and happiness right at home
CREATED FOR
Feeling worn down? You’re not alone. Everyone experiences some degree of stress—there’s always a new deadline to meet, an appointment to get to, an event to attend… and only so much time in a day. Studies have shown that prolonged stress can adversely affect your mental and physical health, and that access to wellness tools and spaces is crucial to counteract its effects. For future residents of The One, Canada’s first supertall residential skyscraper, there will be an unprecedented number of ways to relax and unwind built right into the experience of living there.
Towering 306 metres over Toronto’s vibrant Yonge-and-Bloor neighbourhood, The One was designed with health and wellness at home as a top priority. “We thought carefully about the psychology of home—what people want and how they want to feel,” says Sam Mizrahi, founder and president of Mizrahi Developments.
As the newest focal point in the city’s iconic skyline, The One boasts an array of world-class amenities to comfort and calm no matter what stressful situation comes your way.
Mindful moments with nature
Designed by Foster + Partners using biophilic principles, which create intimate connections to the environment, The One makes it easy to start and end the day on a contemplative note.
Natural spaces help improve psychological well-being, lower anxiety and reduce fatigue. In fact, every time you exercise outdoors you reduce your risk of poor mental health by about six per cent—but it can be difficult to access natural environments while living downtown.
In every suite at The One, sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, which can be opened for a mindful breath of fresh air. And the hospital-grade filtration system ensures the interior air at The One is just as pure as the air outside. “We’re among the first to have this new air-handling system in the lobby, hallways and elevators and within suites,” says Mizrahi.
Embracing nature has also been proven to reduce blood pressure, relax tense muscles and decrease cortisol, the primary stress hormone. The lush 762-square-metre garden terrace atop The One’s six-storey podium is the perfect eco-friendly oasis for morning meditation, yoga or lounging with a latte any time of day. This stunning green space and its infinity pool are heated year-round for a serene swim no matter the season.
Daily activities made effortless
Located in the ever-bustling heart of the city, The One is surrounded by shopping, restaurants, museums, galleries and nightlife, allowing residents to easily find the goods, services, meals and activities they desire. The supertall high-rise also connects directly to the Bloor-Yonge TTC station, making travel across the GTA a snap.
On-site event spaces allow for virtually effortless hosting of business meetings, family parties and social gatherings. The hassle of downtown parking will be a thing of the past, as the 24-hour valet service ensures residents always have a spot for their vehicles. And The One’s 24-7 concierge and high-tech security make for smooth, speedy and safe to-suite deliveries for everything from food to furniture.
"It’s about convenience and benefits at your fingertips. We want residents to feel that their expectations have been exceeded"

Eat well and energize
For residents at The One, saying goodbye to stress at the end of the day is simple. A top-of-the-line fitness studio provides an abundance of ways to unwind, whether it’s cardio, weights, a virtual spin class, a steam in the sauna or a relaxing massage at the spa.
Dine in or order from any of the on-site best-in-class restaurants, alleviating the need for meal prep on busy days, and finish off each evening by admiring the breathtaking panoramic view of the city amid the clouds.
Whatever your stressors, you’ll find relief at The One. “It’s about convenience and benefits at your fingertips,” Mizrahi says. “We want residents to feel that their expectations have been exceeded.”
