The Façade Technology of the "Supertall" Building The One, Toronto
The One’s façade is ensured to satisfy all the strict technical quality standards of “a super high-rise” building and adhered to the strict North American guidelines.

The entire façade system manufactured by BM Windows undergoes stringent testing and approval from ASTM International, known as American Society for Testing and Materials standards organization. For instance, it possesses wind pressure resistance of up to 4.0kPa, along with excellent parameters related to thermal insulation, waterproofing, airtightness, sound insulation, and high durability. Aluminum frames with thermal breaks, high-quality glass, and low thermal transmission auxiliary materials are utilized to enable optimal energy efficiency in Canada’s harsh climate, where the temperatures can plummet to -18°C.

New York has One World Trade Center, Dubai has the Burj Khalifa and Shanghai has its eponymous tower. Now Toronto awaits the arrival of its very own supertall skyscraper—a first not only for the city, but for Canada. One of fewer than 200 buildings in the world that meet the supertall criterion of being at least 300 metres, The One will soar 338 metres into the sky, creating a new focal point for the city’s skyline. This is Canada’s tallest residential building and its first supertall skyscraper as defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

The building is the brainchild of Sam Mizrahi, founder and president of Mizrahi Developments, who says it’s poised to change the landscape of the city—and the country. “We wanted to create a road map that all future supertall buildings in Canada could follow.”
