Work on Cherry House at Canary Landing<\/a> is now concentrated on the ground plane of the mid-rise development next to Toronto’s Distillery District, where finishing touches to the podium levels and streetscape are advancing. Located at Mill and Cherry streets, the project comes from Dream Unlimited<\/a>, Kilmer Group<\/a>, and Tricon Residential<\/a>, with a design by COBE Architects<\/a> and architects\u2014Alliance<\/a>. The three-building complex, one rising 12 storeys and two reaching 13, had a single crane remaining when last reported on in March, 2025<\/a> by UrbanToronto; now, the last crane has been removed.<\/p>\n In July, 2025, the complex\u2019s east-end elevation was active with crews working on applying brick-faced precast panels on the second through fourth floors. The building\u2019s salmon-toned precast frames the podium levels, contrasting with the dark mullions around the windows. Above, the massing shifts as the fifth floor cantilevers on the south side, with lighter-toned corrugated aluminum panels and glazing cladding the upper levels. A white hydraulic mobile crane is stationed to the left.<\/p>\n Looking southwest to the 12-storey building on Mill Street, fencing has been removed to reveal completed streetscaping along Cherry Street and an east-west lane. The podium is clad in smooth champagne-toned metal panels at grade, framed by an overhang from the second floor. Above, the facade transitions to a grid of red brick-patterned precast framing large window wall panels. The new sidewalk features light concrete pavers with tree plantings and curb cuts, while the laneway remains unfinished.<\/p>\n Along Cherry Street, looking north, sidewalk reconstruction is underway with crews levelling the sub-base and setting interlocking pavers. The landscaped edge includes new street trees and benches. To the left, the building\u2019s podium appears as a series of precast-clad piers with vertical ribs.\u00a0<\/p>\n The west building shows recent progress with the removal of the construction hoist, leaving a gap in the cladding higher up. At grade, stacks of interlocking pavers and facade materials are staged along the frontage, while a yellow hydraulic mobile crane supports ongoing envelope work. On the upper levels, corrugated aluminum panels shift visually from white in direct sun to grey in shadow.<\/p>\n Curbs have now been poured along the laneway. Fresh concrete pads outline recessed areas, alongside a curved curb segment with embedded metal texture plates, with staged pavers and construction debris nearby.<\/p>\n Interlocking installation is advancing along the laneway, with crews laying a mix of red and darker-toned pavers. The patterned paving is being set over a compacted granular base, with alignment controlled by string lines.<\/p>\n Along another part of the laneway, plastic armature for silva cells is in place, and soil is being pumped into and around the the gridded structure. Once completed, paving materials are supported by the silva cells while they prevent compaction of the earth underneath them, allowing tree roots to spread more easily, fostering quicker and fuller growth.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Evening light highlights the completed facades around the Cherry House courtyard. The pedestrian mews between the east and west buildings remains under construction, with concrete pads poured and recessed zones left open for landscaping and tree plantings. Conduit stubs and utility sleeves rise from the ground, while construction equipment and materials occupy the unfinished plaza, backlit by the transparent retail glazing at grade.<\/p>\n Once complete, Cherry House will deliver 855 residential units across the complex, with its tallest height at 50.32m.<\/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.
