Mississauga’s Fairview neighbourhood is witnessing the upward trajectory of the the first tower at the twin-tower project, 185 Enfield Place. This venture, spearheaded by GWL Realty Advisors and designed by Kirkor Architects Planners, comprises a 30-storey and a 35-storey tower. Notably, the site is a mere 300m walk to the Burnhamthorpe stop on the under construction Hurontario LRT that will connect to GO Transit.
Initial plans for the taller tower had it at 32 storeys before being increased to 35. Construction commenced in Spring 2021 with the tower crane's installation, and it has made slow but steady progress since. The taller tower is now approaching topping off this fall.
Rewinding to May, 2021, an excavated pit reveals the newly installed crane, a hint of things to come. The meticulously arranged rebar awaits liquid contrete, while stacked wood foreshadows formwork the foundational columns in the parking levels.
Fast forward to December, 2021, the he lowest parking level columns now stand firm while preparations for the next parking level slab are underway.
July, 2022 from an aerial perspective presents a sprawling patchwork of construction processes. Near the lower left corner, crew members survey a web of rebar, while cement trucks and copious materials populate the bulk of the site.
February, 2023 sees 185 Enfield Place rising above grade. Four storeys high, the structural skeleton is supported by a lattice of steel shoring while the concrete cures.
Come May, two and four-storey section of the podium are fully formed while the tower now boasts 20 storeys, and contrasting grey and white precast cladding has been applied to the lower half of the tower floors.
June’s aerial view reveals the cladding’s continued ascent on the eastern face of the tower, while the construction hoist rises along the northern face. The roof of the podium has become a staging ground for materials, ready to be used for the next stages of construction.
Zooming out, 185 Enfield Place is now growing on the local skyline, its crane rising in the distance with the iconic contours of Absolute World gracing the left foreground.
Now in August, as the tower approaches 28 storeys, its cladding installation remains at the halfway mark. Blue weatherproofing wraps the four-storey podium, signifying that exterior finishes will soon be applied here.
Once complete, the first phase of 185 Enfield will encompass 365 purpose-built rental units.
