Since UrbanToronto\u2019s previous update from February, 2026<\/a>, construction continues to advance on Phase 2 of The Residences at Central Park<\/a>, where sub-grade work is progressing on the shared underground garage beneath Amexon Development Corporation<\/a>\u2019s masterplanned community at Leslie Street and Sheppard Avenue East. Designed by Core Architects<\/a>, the 12-acre development is introducing five residential buildings ranging from 12 to 31 storeys at the eastern edge of North York\u2019s Bayview Village, adjacent to the East Don River ravine and within walking distance of Leslie station on Sheppard Line 4. Current efforts are focused below grade, where forming and foundation work are extending the continuous parking structure that will link all phases of the project.<\/p>\n Looking northeast across the site this month, the topped off Phase 1 tower rises in the background at its full 31-storey height, with glazing and balcony assemblies fully installed and the six-storey podium clearly articulated by vertical precast bands. In the foreground, activity is concentrated on Phase 2, where three cranes are positioned over an active construction zone advancing through substructure work. Between the two phases, staging areas are filled with bundled materials, formwork components, and construction equipment.<\/p>\n Phase 1 of the development is now virtually complete and preparing for initial occupancies at the end of this month. The 31-storey tower stands tall with the project\u2019s distinctive willow leaf-motif glass guards. Its six-storey podium is defined by vertical precast cladding and houses a range of indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, including a double-height fitness area and shared social facilities. Supporting infrastructure delivered with this phase includes the completed Green Trail Road.<\/p>\n Phase 2 is a cluster comprising one 19-storey and two 31-storey towers rising from a shared podium. The podium will incorporate approximately 35,000 ft\u00b2 of retail along with additional amenity space. This phase will extend the continuous below-grade parking network, equipped with EV charging at every stall, and further define the internal street edges and pedestrian connections across the site.<\/p>\n Future phases will complete the five-building masterplan, including a 12-storey building at the northern edge of the site, plus the full realization of Central Park Common, the three-acre landscaped open space at the heart of the community. Planned features include a central lawn, timber seating platforms, caf\u00e9-style areas, and a trellis pavilion, all connected by a network of pedestrian promenades and a glazed canopy tracing internal circulation routes. A new stairway will link the development directly to the East Don ravine trail system, supported by slope stabilization and riprap reinforcement along the valley edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n At full build-out, the community will deliver 1,478 residential units across buildings ranging from 46.5m to 105.9m.<\/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.
