After a long saga of challenges and drama, the 85-storey megatower at One Bloor West officially claimed the title of Canada's tallest building this week. The enormous condo development long planned to take the title of Canada's tallest from previous record-holder First Canadian Place finally delivered on that promise with a ceremony attended by media on Tuesday that saw the building officially surpass the 300-metre mark. But while One Bloor West has dethroned an aging titan as the tallest skyscraper in the country, its reign will last just a fraction of its predecessor — expected to be mere months. As One Bloor West approached this milestone earlier this year, Jim Ritchie, President and CEO of Tridel, told blogTO that the upcoming achievement would be "a defining moment in the rise of One Bloor West, as it becomes Canada's first supertall building." Currently rising about 80 storeys towards that goal, SkyTower is poised to overtake One Bloor West in the months to come.
