Higher up, the structural frame has reached the 13th floor, where formwork is arranged along the west side in preparation for the next concrete pour. To the east, slab decking is in place for the 14th floor, reaching the halfway mark, supported by newly formed concrete walls below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/08\/59260\/59260-187606.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-e9279238-e3ab-4281-a128-60353dc43648\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Park Road, Toronto, designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects for Capital Developments\" title=\"A high-angle view looking north highlighting the massing and tapered west end, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor BloorMan\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/08\/59260\/59260-187606.jpg', true, 'A high-angle view looking north highlighting the massing and tapered west end, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor BloorMan'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">A high-angle view looking north highlighting the massing and tapered west end, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor BloorMan<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the corner of Church Street and Park Road, metal panels and glazing now wrap the full south elevation and extend onto the east frontage, with a gap at the southeast corner awaiting installation.

The system alternates between vision glass and spandrel panels framed in gold-toned pre-finished metal, with vertical fins and extended mullion caps projecting to accentuate the facade. At the northeast corner, the pattern shifts with paired glass panels that wrap the edge. Glazed units are interspersed with spandrel sections, all framed by solid metal panels.
