Designed by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/database\/companies\/giannone-petricone-associates.7995\" target=\"_blank\">Giannone Petricone Associates<\/a>, the building is a major new presence in Toronto\u2019s storied Annexneighbourhood.

At the northeast corner, a construction hoist rises along the exterior. Glazing has also begun to wrap around the north elevation, where the first three storeys show an installed section.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194992.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-427b1fd6-93f1-414c-8629-3a037421aa70\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"Looking south from Davenport Road to the construction hoist and glazing progress, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194992.jpg', true, 'Looking south from Davenport Road to the construction hoist and glazing progress, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking south from Davenport Road to the construction hoist and glazing progress, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In May, 2025, the curved southeast corner was taking shape, the glazed curtainwall still rising to just the sixth floor, but showing off the prominent rounded volume. Along the south elevation, crews had begun installing darker metal panel cladding, with vertically oriented panels filling in the fa\u00e7ade bays. Branded hoarding lines the sidewalk along Davenport Road beneath a covered pedestrian walkway.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194993.jpeg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-1288e9c6-3779-43cd-942d-9b07978e7129\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"The curved northeast corner curtainwall, looking west, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor rdaner\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194993.jpeg', true, 'The curved northeast corner curtainwall, looking west, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor rdaner'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">The curved northeast corner curtainwall, looking west, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor rdaner<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">From across Bedford Road in October, 2025, cladding installation is largely complete. Above the sixth-floor step-back, crews have installed dark aluminum panel cladding across the upper storeys, filling in fa\u00e7ade bays between window openings. Higher up, sections of the concrete remain exposed, including the mechanical penthouse and portions of the seventh and ninth-floor slab edges.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194995.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-ec9cf39f-c185-44d3-8069-7df05b592cec\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"Progress on the upper-level metal cladding, looking west from Bedford Road, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194995.jpg', true, 'Progress on the upper-level metal cladding, looking west from Bedford Road, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Progress on the upper-level metal cladding, looking west from Bedford Road, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Looking toward the north elevation in November, 2025, we see the project\u2019s stepped massing toward the west providing terraces for residents. Along the north side, a window wall system composed of clear glazing and darker spandrel panels fills the structural bays. Rooftop mechanical areas remain partially exposed above the finished cladding line. At the roof, the arm of a building maintenance unit glistens in the sunlight near the edge.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194994.jpeg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-3a764f94-e6a7-41b6-9c44-b76d2bfd554b\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"The stepped terraces along the west elevation, looking southeast, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Rascacielo\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194994.jpeg', true, 'The stepped terraces along the west elevation, looking southeast, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Rascacielo'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">The stepped terraces along the west elevation, looking southeast, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Rascacielo<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In early January, 2026, the exterior envelope was largely complete, with the dark aluminum panel cladding now extending across the upper storeys and wrapping the mechanical penthouse at the roof. At the northeast corner, the curved curtainwall remains a defining feature across the lower levels. Minor facade work continues along the south elevation, where a patch of exposed blue weatherproofing is visible above the seventh floor.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194996.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-2bd720f5-0a8c-465b-a859-94285f6ea2b8\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"A distant view looking west to the largely clad exterior and curved curtainwall, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor YongeBloor\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194996.jpg', true, 'A distant view looking west to the largely clad exterior and curved curtainwall, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor YongeBloor'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">A distant view looking west to the largely clad exterior and curved curtainwall, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor YongeBloor<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A closer view of the Davenport Road frontage this month highlights the building\u2019s layered facade treatment, with the curved lower volume fully enclosed in a curtainwall system across the first six storeys. Above, the fa\u00e7ade transitions to the darker upper cladding. The upper levels follow the building\u2019s gentle arc along Davenport, while stepping back toward the roof. At the edge of the facade, the construction hoist remains in place, indicating that interior fit-out and final exterior detailing are still underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194997.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-c47b5d58-4be0-43d5-b2a2-4ca367365a02\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"A close-up view of the curtainwall along the Davenport frontage, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194997.jpg', true, 'A close-up view of the curtainwall along the Davenport frontage, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">A close-up view of the curtainwall along the Davenport frontage, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor AlbertC<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The building stands 36.4m tall and will house 23 condominium units.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194998.jpeg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-87a4ee32-c7f5-44d3-8c28-b8b83d9acbc9\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"321 Davenport, Toronto, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" title=\"Looking south to 321 Davenport, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2026\/03\/60555\/60555-194998.jpeg', true, 'Looking south to 321 Davenport, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Looking south to 321 Davenport, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for Alterra Group of Companies<\/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.
