The dark podium cladding contrasts with the upper podium levels featuring a curtainwall system enclosing the double-height amenity space with clear glazing.

The nine-storey podium anchors the base with a continuous glass frontage, while a cantilevered volume on the southeast corner extends the outdoor amenity terrace out over the sidewalk below. An orange mobile hydraulic crane is in use at the corner of Bremner Boulevard and Navy Wharf Court to replace traffic lights.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/06\/58772\/58772-184798.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-d01dabb5-02be-4a99-aaa0-a8783cd95669\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Concord Canada House, Toronto, designed by Arcadis for Concord Adex\" title=\"Looking northwest to the maple leaf motif across both towers, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor ImmenselyMental\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/06\/58772\/58772-184798.jpg', true, 'Looking northwest to the maple leaf motif across both towers, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor ImmenselyMental'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking northwest to the maple leaf motif across both towers, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor ImmenselyMental<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Occupancy of the towers is anticipated to begin soon. Rising 202.97m and 231.97m in height, the towers will deliver 1,397 residential units in total. When complete, the maple leaves are meant to be illuminated at nighttime, while the lounges at the top of the towers will also glow from behind their glass skins.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">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.
