Since UrbanToronto's last update in the summer of 2023, Alba has emerged above grade and forming is all but complete for its five-storey podium. Located at a prime junction in Mississauga, on the east side of Hurontario Street between Cooksville GO station and Square One, Alba promises excellent transit connectivity, and even more so in the future with the Hurontario LRT, now under construction. Designed by Core Architects for Edenshaw Developments, construction is now transitioning to the tower portion of this 32-storey high-rise.
By April, 2024, the west end of the site had reached grade, where a dense network of rebar forms await the pouring of concrete for the ground floor.
A month later, the entire project is seen at grade. To the left, the west end’s first level is formed, with concrete walls and pillars visible for the second storey. To the right, progress is only slightly behind, with rebar projecting from concrete walls and columns, awaiting its next extensions. In the midst of it all is a red concrete boom pump, just to the left of the tower crane.
By August, 2024, Alba’s south elevation had four storeys formed and activities underway on the fifth. The podium’s rectilinear form is increasingly defined, with a visible setback at the southwest corner to the left. Concrete walls are in place on the left side for the fifth level, while the centre section features decking in preparation for the sixth-floor slab, with formwork spotted to the right on the east side. Construction crews are actively engaged around the tower crane, with the hook in operation on the west end. Red fencing and shoring posts line the first four levels of the south and west elevations.
As of this month, we look southwest at the east end of the site, the first storey displays an extended volume with a thicker concrete slab forming its roof, above which a step-back recedes to align with the main podium volume. Decking is visible at the east end, prepped for the imminent concrete pour atop the podium for the east end. This area is designated for outdoor amenities atop the podium, to the east of the tower. The tower will rise from the west and centre of the podium.
With construction scheduled for completion in 2025, Alba will rise to 109.1m and house 418 residential units.
