Police taped off an area in the heart of Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood on Tuesday afternoon after a glass window cracked at the Four Seasons Private Residences.
The glass shattered, but stayed in place, in a residential unit four storeys from the top of the 30-storey building around 12:40 p.m. No glass fell from the tower, and no one was injured.
“At this time no glass has fallen, but cars and pedestrian traffic are not allowed on the east side of the building and onto Yorkville Avenue, between Bay and Yonge street, until the area is fully clear,” spokeswoman Halla Rafati said in an email.
“The safety and security of our guests and neighbours remains of utmost importance to us. We take this situation very seriously and are working diligently to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.”
Police said the damage would take two to three hours to repair.
This is the third time since September that glass has shattered at the luxury residence.
On Sept. 10, 2015, glass fell from a penthouse window at the residence, causing minor injuries to two people. And on Feb. 15, glass again fell from an east-facing window in the building. No one was hurt in that incident.
