Wattie, Chris. (2007, 16 November). "75-storey condo to be tallest". National Post.
Another massive tower is going up in downtown Toronto next year, a 243-metre modernist tower at the corner of Yonge and Gerrard streets that developers promise will be "a landmark building" and the tallest condominium tower in Canada.
Danny Roth, a spokesman for developer Canderel Stoneridge, said the Aura tower will be a "pure condominium," with almost all of its 75 storeys and 1.3 million square feet of space devoted to residential use. "It'll be the tallest and the largest in Canada," he said. "This is going to be a landmark building."
Aura at College Park is the third phase of the developer's The Residence of College Park. The first two towers are 52 and 45 storeys.
The new tower will include a four-storey "podium" at its base, with up to 190,000 square feet of retail and recreational space, all designed by Mississauga-based architects Graziani + Corazza.
"Tallest Condo In Canada Coming To Downtown T.O". (2007, 16 November). CityNews.ca.
hink the chaos over the condo at 1 Bloor St. East was frenzied this week? Just wait till the real estate agents, developers and would-be flippers hear about this. What promises to be the largest condo tower in all of Canada was announced on Friday - a building that once finished, will stand 75 storeys and 343 meters tall.The "Aura" will change the face of the downtown core yet again when it's built at the corner of Yonge and Gerrard, opposite College Park. The builders say it will encompass 1.3 million square feet - with at least 1.1 million devoted solely to residential space. And what would a Yonge St. development be without business? Some 190,000 square feet will be reserved for retail space.
he Bloor condo is 79 storeys and this one is only 75. How can they claim bragging rights to being the tallest? A spokesman tells CityNews.ca that the Aura beats its competitor on metre and square footage size, and that each residence will actually be bigger in height than the Bloor spot - so even though it has fewer storeys, it will actually wind up being slightly taller than the other address.

Following the tremendous success of Phases I and II of its College Park community, Canderel Stoneridge Equity Group is proud to announce the third and final phase of the popular development - Aura at College Park.
When it rises, the Aura condominium building will become a landmark in this area. Located on the north-west corner of Yonge and Gerrard, the all-glass modern tower will dazzle with its blue-grey tint. Aura was designed inside and out by renowned and award-winning architectural firm Graziani + Corazza. By creating the interiors to mimic the tower's simplistic design, the resulting look is a timeless, elegant space in an urban setting.
