As locals await the opening of Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown LRT in Midtown Toronto, two towering infill projects have ascended side-by-side in the area, bringing further density to Broadway Avenue just to the northeast of Yonge and Eglinton. The three towers are down to one crane after one was recently removed at 75 Broadway Avenue, leaving the north tower of 65 Broadway Avenue as the last crane standing. The 38-storey tower at 75 Broadway, designed by WZMH Architects for Hazelview Investments, and the twin 39-storey towers at 65 Broadway, crafted by Wallman Architects for Times Group Corporation, are within a 10-minute walk of Eglinton station.
Since UrbanToronto’s last update in March, 2024, when all three tower cranes still stood overhead, significant progress has been made on the buildings’ exteriors.
In this urban tableau looking to the southeast across Yonge Street, we spot the tower crane atop the north tower at 65 Broadway Avenue, with the tower crane for 75 Broadway just visible behind it. The bare concrete of the north tower’s mechanical penthouse awaits cladding, while the south tower to the right showcases its zig-zagging white balcony framing enveloping most of the upper floors, with some sections yet to be installed on the top several storeys. Meanwhile, glass and spandrel window wall cladding on 75 Broadway Avenue still await application on its top three storeys.
Looking north to 75 Broadway following its tower crane coming down late July, 2024, the construction hoist remains on the west elevation. The structure’s cantilever starts at the 11th storey, beginning above the mid-rise, buff-brick apartment building it is attached to. This volume projects along the right side of the south elevation to further contrast the window wall on the left. The design also incorporates inset rows of balconies across the north and south faces.
Pivoting northwest, we get a clear view of the zig-zag pattern on the south and east elevations of 65 Broadway, with sections awaiting cladding for the top several storeys. The towers’ shared four-storey podium extends eastward towards 75 Broadway, marked by glass balcony railings and rectangular windows framed with black spandrel and mullions. Areas of bare concrete at the southeast corner of the first and second floors, and atop the fourth level of the podium await cladding, with temporary yellow fencing spotted atop the podium.
This southeast-facing view showcases the juxtaposition of 75 Broadway on the left and the north tower of 65 Broadway on the right. The latter’s ground floor is enclosed with floor-to-ceiling window panels. Above, a series of white balcony guards line the upper podium levels, accentuated by projecting glazing framed by black mullions. The white cladding is also visible along the bottom half of the tower, with some sections still awaiting installation. Meanwhile, 75 Broadway demonstrates its west elevation’s alternating balcony design through its spandrel window wall system.
Looking southwest at 75 Broadway, the east elevation is now fully encased in the window wall system. On the north elevation, inset rows of balconies are visible, with 12 storeys of balcony guards beginning at the building’s distinctive cantilever. The first five podium levels are clad in grey brick, intending to match the architectural tone of the adjacent pre-existing building.
As construction continues, 75 Broadway stands at a height of 117.34m and will house 336 rental units, while the dual structures at 65 Broadway each ascend to 132.89m, collectively delivering 778 condominium units to Midtown Toronto.
