A white concrete boom pump between the cranes facilitates pours at upper levels. At grade, work continues on the widened sidewalk and sheltered arcade along Dundas, which will double pedestrian space while also including a new entrance to St Patrick subway station.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking southeast across University Avenue to the United BLDG, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Rascacielo<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Looking southeast to the northwest corner of the site along University Avenue, above, with a closer look below, work to reinstall a roof over retail frontages is underway.

On the left, the preserved Beaux-Arts facade of the Maclean Publishing Company Building is visible, with white tarps in place where decorative spandrel panels will be reinstalled after restoration. A step-back above the eight-storey heritage base marks the start of new height. Decking is in place for the 12th floor slabs on the right, with concrete slab placement finished on the left. Two cranes operate at the north and south ends.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/08\/59150\/59150-187025.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-4488bde3-8642-4051-9908-d6e08df4ce06\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"The United BLDG, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects and ERA Architects for Davpart\" title=\"High-angle view looking northwest to ongoing construction of the 12th floor slab, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AdamS\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/08\/59150\/59150-187025.jpg', true, 'High-angle view looking northwest to ongoing construction of the 12th floor slab, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AdamS'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">High-angle view looking northwest to ongoing construction of the 12th floor slab, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AdamS<\/span><\/imgx><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Looking southwest toward the northeast corner where earlier buildings were demolished, glazing is being installed along the second and third floors on the new podium levels.
