One Yonge Street, built in 1970, is a 25 storey building, and is home to Torstar and its flagship newspaper, the ''Toronto Star''. It is 100 metres tall, and is built in the International style. It was built as a replacement to the Old Toronto Star Building, which was located at 80 King Street West. That building was torn down to make room for First Canadian Place. It is located at 1 Yonge Street at Queens Quay, and marks the foot of what was Highway 11, known informally as "the longest street in the world". The building also housed the printing presses for the Toronto Star newspaper, until 1992 when a new press centre was opened in Vaughan, Ontario. The finished newspaper content is sent electronically to the plant where the plates are burnt and the paper gets printed and distributed. Editorial content of the newspaper is produced by employees working on the fifth floor. It also has the headquarters of Torstar.〔"(Contact Us )." Torstar. Retrieved on 7 June 2012.

''Sudbury Star'', January 25, 2012.〕 The former press centre is now used by Canada Post as a distribution centre. In August 2006, ''The Star'' invited its readers to name the ugliest building in Toronto. Over 20% nominated the Star building. It was criticized for brutalism and being disconnected from the nearby waterfront. ==See also== *Old Toronto Star Building - the office building used by the paper until 1970, located on King St. West. *Old Globe and Mail Building *Toronto Sun Building *Yonge Street *Toronto Star *Toronto Star Press Centre 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One Yonge Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
