The urban canyon on Charles Street East continues to grow, with another high-rise condominium development approaching its final height. CHAZ Yorkville Condos, developed by 45 Charles Ltd. with project manager Edenshaw Homes, has made significant progress over the past several months and work is now under way on the 47th and final residential floor of the Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects-designed development.

This uppermost residential, or penthouse floor will be followed up by the building's mechanical penthouse level, home to the tower's HVAC equipment amongst other equipment.

In both images above, CHAZ can be seen rising next to Casa, a 46-storey condo located to the immediate west on Charles Street. From ground level, the relationship between these two similar-sized residential towers is quite interesting, as CHAZ's diagonal prow-like massing just out from the alignment created by Casa's set-back tower, creating a point in the urban canyon wall now forming on this block.

Down at ground level, cladding has sealed off what was a busy staging area a few months back, and with just a few of the building's 526 condominium units remaining available, much of the podium is covered in banners advertising the CHAZ sales centre at 101 Yorkville Avenue.
