Tridel<\/a>‘s Royal Bayview<\/a>\u00a0has been rising at the east end of the Ladies\u2019 Golf Club of Toronto \u2014 actually in the Markham half of Thornhill \u2014 at Bayview Avenue and Royal Orchard Boulevard. Designed by Kirkor Architects and Planners<\/a>, the two-building project stands at 12 and 15 storeys. UrbanToronto last checked in on the site in March, 2022<\/a>, when excavation was in its early stages. Nearly two years later, both towers have topped off, with cladding and glazing largely complete.<\/p>\n The crane for the 15-storey south building, seen below, went up in August, 2022, while the crane for the 12-storey north structure went up a month later, with its jib just visible in the top right corner. Construction reached grade by the summer of 2023, and in September we see formwork and concrete pouring underway for the south tower’s first and second floors.\u00a0<\/p>\n By February, 2024, the south tower (left) stood at eight storeys, while the north tower (right), positioned closer to Royal Orchard Boulevard, had six storeys in place, with concrete slabs and formwork visible at the upper levels. At grade, an active orange telehandler equipped with a grapple attachment is seen by the north building.<\/p>\n Cladding and glazing installation started around April, 2024, and by September, the north elevations were nearing completion. The buildings feature projecting balcony slabs with white cladding, with black mullions framing the glazing. The main facade is wrapped in gray cladding, contrasting with the white balconies.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the west elevation is designed to maximize views over the adjacent golf course. The upper floors subtly recede, creating expansive private terraces that reinforce Tridel\u2019s intended resort-style aesthetic here.\u00a0<\/p>\n This month, Royal Bayview stands nearly complete, with only one tower crane remaining atop the taller south building. The floor-to-ceiling glazing includes a vertical section of uninterrupted glass breaking up the cladding pattern to the right of the hoist on the south tower, with step-backs at the top levels of the south elevation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Looking from the northeast corner, just west of Bayview Avenue, the north tower features a similar run of glazing on the upper seven floors, to the left of its hoist, along with step-backs at the north elevation mirroring the south building. From Royal Orchard Boulevard,\u00a0the buildings appear separated, but once the hoarding is removed, the connecting entrance pavilion will be visible. It houses amenities and patios look out at the golf course.\u00a0<\/p>\n Standing at 42m and 50.5m, the buildings will collectively house 173 residential units.<\/p>\n UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development, but in the meantime, you can learn more about it from our Database file, linked below.
