Rebar projects from the tops of the walls, while bundled rebar cages will be used in the formation of columns. Three cranes now define the Phase 2 construction zone, supporting the build-out of a shared podium that will anchor one 19-storey and two 31-storey towers, along with roughly 35,000ft\u00b2 of retail space and a continuous underground garage that links back to Phase 1. At the far right, the fully topped-off Phase 1 tower still with its crane, rises above the site.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/01\/60227\/60227-193123.JPG\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-fc052a88-bba7-4926-9ad1-b1f97a21c877\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"The Residences at Central Park, Toronto, designed by Core Architects for Amexon\" title=\"Looking northwest across Phase 2 to concrete walls and rebar for the ground floor, image by Ed Skira\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/01\/60227\/60227-193123.JPG', true, 'Looking northwest across Phase 2 to concrete walls and rebar for the ground floor, image by Ed Skira'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking northwest across Phase 2 to concrete walls and rebar for the ground floor, image by Ed Skira<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Looking southwest along the west edge road, a newly poured concrete wall creates a barrier between the new community and the Richmond Hill GO rail corridor.

As Phase 2 advances, the broader development is tied together by a continuous underground garage equipped with EV charging at every stall, indoor and outdoor amenity spaces distributed across podium levels, and direct access to the three-acre Central Park Common. Together with new pedestrian pathways and connections to the East Don ravine and nearby transit, the site is steadily transforming into a cohesive residential precinct.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/01\/60227\/60227-193127.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-44c5fdd8-a5c2-4c96-9c49-b727c89312ea\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"The Residences at Central Park, Toronto, designed by Core Architects for Amexon\" title=\"Looking northeast to Phase 2's tower cranes rising behind branded hoarding, image by Ed Skira\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/01\/60227\/60227-193127.jpg', true, 'Looking northeast to Phase 2\\'s tower cranes rising behind branded hoarding, image by Ed Skira'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking northeast to Phase 2&#8217;s tower cranes rising behind branded hoarding, image by Ed Skira<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At full build-out, The Residences at Central Park will deliver 1,478 residential suites across buildings ranging in height from 46.5m to 105.9m.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/01\/60227\/60227-193128.jpeg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-a727ed38-e83c-454a-9600-f04b8933f2f7\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"The Residences at Central Park, Toronto, designed by Core Architects for Amexon\" title=\"Looking east to The Residences at Central Park, designed Core Architects for Amexon\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/01\/60227\/60227-193128.jpeg', true, 'Looking east to The Residences at Central Park, designed Core Architects for Amexon'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking east to The Residences at Central Park, designed Core Architects for Amexon<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">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.
