Neighbouring condo projects are continuing their progress to the immediate southwest of Toronto’s Distillery District. Rising side-by-side on the east side of Parliament Street south of Mill, the 32-storey Goode Condos is designed by architects—Alliance for Graywood Developments. To its south, No. 31 Condos will rise even higher to 41 storeys, designed by Arquitectonica for Lanterra Developments and Westdale Properties, with Arcadis as the Architect of Record.
UrbanToronto's last update on both sites was in February, 2024, with No. 31’s excavation reaching its full depth. Now, its construction has reached grade, while Goode Condos’ podium sports brick laid onsite as construction transitions to the tower.
In July, 2024, we look east along the south side of No. 31. A concrete bucket sits to the left, ready for concrete pours into the forms, densely packed with rebar. Along the right, vertical I-beams form part of the shoring walls that stabilize the south elevation. To the left, The Goode Condos has several storeys in green and blue weatherproof membranes.
This close-up image of Goode Condos’ east elevation reveals two construction workers carefully engaged in laying bricks, echoing the built form history of the Distillery District. This hands-on approach contrasts with the more common pre-cast panel installations seen in most GTA condo construction of late. A motorized platform supports the labourers.
In August, 2024, brick cladding is applied from the second to the seventh floor on the south and east elevations of Goode Condos. Concrete columns are visible at ground level, which will feature granite stone panels and glass installations for retail and entrance areas. Aluminum spandrel panels and black horizontal mullions outline the glass windows installed on the second through seventh floors, and the south elevation features inset balconies providing views of Lake Ontario.
A step-back above the seventh floor leads to a smaller floor-plate for the eighth and ninth floors, where green weatherproofing membrane awaits cladding. Glazing and black spandrel can be spotted on the east side of the eighth floor.
Returning to an eastward view, yellow and grey shoring posts line the ground floor of No. 31. Two concrete buckets sit on opposite sides of the construction crew members at grade, awaiting upcoming concrete pours. Construction crews are engaged on the second level above the decking, where vertical rebar and rebar cages are visible to the right of the tower crane.
An southward view from this month highlights Goode Condos’ north elevation and the extending podium volumes. The eastern podium volume is fully formed at nine storeys where the yellow tower crane is installed, with brick cladding applied from the second to the seventh floors, and glazing mostly installed on the upper two levels. Meanwhile, the northern podium volume projects from the tower to the right, consisting of seven floors, with its upper two floors displaying completed brickwork. This section also features step-backs above the fifth and seventh floors, transitioning to the tower element.
The tower itself stands with six floors formed, or 13 storeys overall for the development, with the first level of its curtainwall system installed. Starting with the ninth floor, where we see thicker concrete columns, the curtainwall will be complemented by aluminum shadow boxes and glass balcony railings.
Upon completion, The Goode Condos will stand 111.4m with 557 residential units, while No. 31 Condos will rise to 137.4m and house 428 units.
