Designed by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/database\/companies\/bh-architects.7960\" target=\"_blank\">B+H Architects<\/a>, the 50-storey mixed-use development has been steadily climbing skwayrd since UrbanToronto\u2019s last update in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/news\/2025\/04\/kipling-station-condos-rises-above-grade-six-points.58398\" target=\"_blank\">April, 2025<\/a>, when the structure had just emerged above grade.

Red shoring posts support the decking in preparation for various concrete pours, while the thick transfer slab between the third and fourth floors stands out along the facade. A red concrete boom pump sits to the right of the crane, positioned to service ongoing slab pours.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188434.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-ce63b335-e3d2-4291-b2f0-5d7cfef583fd\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Kipling Station Condos, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects for CentreCourt\" title=\"Looking southeast to decking for the fifth-floor slab supported by red shoring posts, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Vminkov\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188434.jpg', true, 'Looking southeast to decking for the fifth-floor slab supported by red shoring posts, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Vminkov'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking southeast to decking for the fifth-floor slab supported by red shoring posts, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Vminkov<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the start of this month, the podium remains largely exposed in raw concrete along its south face. Glazing panels and mullions are installed across much of the east, Aukland Road elevation. Meanwhile, glazing and metal panelling have been installed on a portion of the first tower floor above. The soffits of the projecting balcony slabs are painted black between the fifth and eighth floors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188442.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-68e4cd54-9bce-4560-9a1d-62c3ea9f8663\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Kipling Station Condos, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects for CentreCourt\" title=\"Looking southwest to the glazing on the north elevation of the podium, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188442.jpg', true, 'Looking southwest to the glazing on the north elevation of the podium, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking southwest to the glazing on the north elevation of the podium, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Looking east across Dundas Street below, the structure has climbed to ten storeys with formwork underway for the 11th floor. Along the west side of the podium, four sections of cladding have been installed; windows framed with dark mullions and louvres. Hydro One is also active beside the site, building a new tower, seen here to the right, where older transmission towers have recently been removed and replaced with new supporting structures carrying power lines through the corridor. The work forms part of a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ttc.ca\/service-advisories\/construction-notices\/Kipling-Station-Hydro-Work\" target=\"_blank\">broader upgrade program<\/a>, including the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hydroone.com\/about\/corporate-information\/major-projects\/etobicoke-greenway\" target=\"_blank\">Etobicoke Greenway Project<\/a>, which is raising capacity along the 6.5-km stretch between Richview and Manby Transformer Station with completion targeted for 2026.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188441.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-36c47981-06f0-4a76-82f8-e005fe2e33c4\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Kipling Station Condos, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects for CentreCourt\" title=\"Looking northeast to painted soffits for the balcony slabs, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188441.jpg', true, 'Looking northeast to painted soffits for the balcony slabs, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking northeast to painted soffits for the balcony slabs, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Returning to the tower, this close-up view captures some of the first installed sections of the tower\u2019s exterior envelope on the fifth floor, where alternating gray and black aluminum panels frame vision glass with dark mullions. Polished copper-coloured fins are inset along the returns to provide contrast against the darker facade elements. The glazing panels sit flush within the cladding.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188465.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-a2213f22-0525-4168-bc9f-7911502cdf95\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Kipling Station Condos, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects for CentreCourt\" title=\"Cladding and glazing installed on the fifth floor, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188465.jpg', true, 'Cladding and glazing installed on the fifth floor, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Cladding and glazing installed on the fifth floor, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another detailed view highlights the first guardrail installations framed in stainless steel slab edges define the projecting balconies.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188466.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-2b5717e9-9e71-48cd-b458-c9fe49078759\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Kipling Station Condos, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects for CentreCourt\" title=\"Painted soffits for the projecting balconies, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188466.jpg', true, 'Painted soffits for the projecting balconies, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Painted soffits for the projecting balconies, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor drum118<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several days later, the tower had climbed to 11 storeys, with formwork advancing for the 12th floor at the northwest corner above the construction hoist. On the tower volume, cladding and glazing have been installed across the fifth floor, with more copper-accented fins also visible to the left of the hoist. The podium\u2019s north and west elevations are now largely enclosed, with vision glass and mullions spanning across much of the facade.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188438.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-97ff705c-fce2-487c-a235-f286dd872551\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Kipling Station Condos, Toronto, designed by B+H Architects for CentreCourt\" title=\"Cladding and glazing installation progress on the tower's fifth floor, looking southeast, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor fanoftoronto\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59421\/59421-188438.jpg', true, 'Cladding and glazing installation progress on the tower's fifth floor, looking southeast, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor fanoftoronto'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Cladding and glazing installation progress on the tower&#8217;s fifth floor, looking southeast, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor fanoftoronto<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once complete, the tower will reach 159m and deliver 563 condominium units.<\/p>\n<p>UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on these developments, but in the meantime, you can learn more about them from our Database files, linked below.
