Rising northeast of Yonge and Bloor in Toronto\u2019s Yorkville neighbourhood,\u00a0Capital Developments<\/a>\u2019\u00a0Park Road<\/a> condo is beginning to make a strong local impression as its curving, wedge-shaped form emerges above grade. Designed by\u00a0Diamond Schmitt Architects<\/a>, the 28-storey condominium sits on a compact site framed by Church Street, Collier Street, and Park Road. The tower\u2019s Flatiron-inspired massing responds to the site\u2019s irregular geometry with a curving south elevation and angular east and west frontages. UrbanToronto last provided an update in\u00a0October, 2024<\/a>, when the crane was installed.<\/p>\n Back at the start of this year, the development had reached grade in the northwestward view below. The ground floor slab had been poured, with steel rebar projecting in preparation for ground floor columns and shear walls. A light dusting of snow covers the recently formed surface, with the crane erected near the Church Street frontage.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, looking southwest to the elevation fronting Park Road, construction has climbed to four storeys, including the mezzanine slab visible to the left of the parking garage entrance. Formwork and perimeter edge protection are in place for the upcoming fifth-floor slab. The narrow footprint of the site is evident along the east elevation, while it tapers to an even narrower point at Collier and Church streets in the distance. A cantilevered platform and decking system are visible at the far right end. In the background to the left, One Bloor West continues its ascent with its blue weather protection system crowning\u00a0the soon-to-be \u2018supertall\u2019<\/a> structure.<\/p>\n Looking southeast to where the site\u2019s unique geometry has it taper to a narrow point where Collier and Church streets meet, yellow shoring posts support the slabs while the concrete cures for this west end of the building. Behind the fencing to the right is the site of a future POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly-accessible Space).<\/p>\n Looking east across Church Street, the curvature unfolds along the arc of the site, mirroring Church Street. The fourth-floor decking and perimeter slab formwork extend further outward in preparation for the cantilevered volume starting at that floor. Meanwhile, the crane is hoisting materials as vertical progress continues.<\/p>\n From Church Street and Park Road, the sweeping curvature of the south elevation wraps toward the east frontage. On this side, concrete columns and walls for the fifth floor have been poured, with slab decking and perimeter formwork now advancing for level six. On the right, we see more extended decking in preparation for the cantilevered volume that will project out at the fifth floor, with two more cantilevers planned at the eighth and eleventh floors.\u00a0<\/p>\n Once complete, the 97.43m-tall tower will house 303 residential units behind a facade of windows framed in pre-finished metal panels. These will be accentuated by metal fins and spandrel glazing that frame the tower\u2019s silhouette, while translucent Juliette balcony guards open each suite to the city.\u00a0<\/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.
