The crane has come down from the top of Alba<\/a>, as \u00a0Edenshaw Developments<\/a>‘ 32-storey condominium marks another milestone on its way toward completion on the edge of Mississauga Valley. Rising at Hurontario Street and Fairview Road East, the Core Architects<\/a>-designed tower continues to see progress on its cladding and balcony installation. Situated at a stop on the Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT<\/a> between Square One and Cooksville GO station, Alba\u2019s curving form contributes to the emerging skyline along the corridor.\u00a0UrbanToronto last provided an update in May, 2025<\/a>, when construction reached the mechanical levels.<\/p>\n The following images capture the upper levels of Alba\u2019s topped-off structure in August, 2025, with the yellow-and-black derrick installed to dismantle the crane. The curving facade displays partially completed cladding installation at the mechanical penthouse, featuring alternating bands of black and white panels, sections of insulation awaiting final cladding, and blue weatherproofing exposed along the slab edges. Below, the concrete balcony slabs curve outward with temporary red safety railings still in place, while glazing units are installed on the residential floors other than the top floor.<\/p>\n ]<\/p>\n In September, 2025, workers in high-visibility gear carefully dismantled a section of the crane boom. Secured to the white lattice truss of the horizontal jib, the crew is seen detaching structural pins and connections.\u00a0<\/p>\n Next, the yellow derrick hoists a detached boom section away from the tower.<\/p>\n By midday, the crane has been largely dismantled, with the boom sections and rear counterweights removed, leaving only the cab and mast standing above the roofline. The yellow derrick is seen positioned behind the mast. On the roof of the mechanical penthouse, we see scaffolding and temporary barriers as the final structural elements are prepared for lowering.\u00a0<\/p>\n Seen from Hurontario Street in October, 2025, Alba\u2019s tower now stands crane-free, its curvilinear form rising above the rectilinear podium. Building Maintenance Unit platforms are visible at the crown along the west elevation. The tower facade expresses its curvature through continuous bands of fritted-glass balcony railings and white slab edges. Below, the L-shaped podium anchors the composition with vertical white fins and dark metal cladding, framing recessed balconies and glazing that define the residential and amenity levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n From a high vantage point looking southeast along Hurontario Street, Alba stands above its neighbours on the local skyline, its derrick still in place. The tower\u2019s balcony glazing is visible up to about the 27th floor along the north and west elevations, while temporary red safety railings outline the upper levels still awaiting final guardrail installation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alba stands at 109.1m tall and will house 418 residential units upon completion.<\/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.
