In Leaside, The Frederick Condominiums<\/a> has topped off, and its crane has been dismantled. Designed by Arcadis<\/a> for Camrost-Felcorp<\/a>, the 28-storey tower is part of the Upper East Village<\/a> community just east of Laird station<\/a> on the Eglinton Line 5<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n From Brentcliffe Road in July, 2025, the tower had climbed to approximately the 27th storey. White prefinished aluminum fins and installed glazing extended to roughly the 16th floor, framing the window wall system. At the podium and lower levels, extensive blue weatherproofing wraps the facade in preparation for the installation of limestone veneer and precast cladding, while the first three storeys show curtainwall glazing and spandrel panels already in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n One month later, newly poured concrete walkways began to define the public park layout at the site\u2019s eastern edge, with freshly graded planting beds. Behind a raised wood deck, limestone cladding panels are being installed around large-format curtainwall glazing at the lower levels. A temporary scaffold provides access for crews.\u00a0<\/p>\n The tower topped off in October, 2025, with the mechanical penthouse formed. White panels and the window wall system rose to approximately the 21st floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n By February, 2026, the crane had been removed. The residential tower was mostly enclosed, with glazing, spandrel panels, and prefinished aluminum fins largely installed. At the lower levels, red brick cladding had advanced across the podium and transition floors, rising to varied heights to create a stepped, textured facade. The mechanical penthouse remained in exposed concrete, awaiting its final cladding treatment, while balcony glazing and guardrails appeared mostly complete, save for several upper levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n This month, the mechanical penthouse is now partially enclosed, with sections of white aluminum fins and cladding installed. The construction hoist is still affixed to the west elevation. Across the residential floors, the window wall system is all but complete, and most corner and inset balconies have received their glass guardrails, with only a handful of upper levels still awaiting installation on the left. At the base, the precast brick podium is nearing completion, with a mast climber work platform positioned along the facade to facilitate the final installation of masonry panels and detailing.\u00a0<\/p>\n In this close-up view, the building\u2019s material hierarchy is clearly expressed as the podium transitions from limestone at grade to precast red brick across the mid-rise levels, before giving way to the glass-and-aluminum tower above. The lower floors feature large-format curtainwall glazing set within limestone surrounds, while the brick cladding above is arranged in a grid of vertical piers and recessed bays. Above, the tower\u2019s window wall system, spandrel panels, and white pre-finished aluminum fins are fully installed along the visible elevations.<\/p>\n The Frederick Condominiums stands 100m and will house 301 units.<\/p>\n UrbanToronto\u2019s last update was one year ago<\/a>, following the installation of a replacement crane after a 2024 collapse.
