Daniels on Parliament has topped off, soon to cap their part of a nearly-two-decade long effort to revitalize Toronto’s Regent Park community. It began in 2006 when the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) selected The Daniels Corporation as its development partner for the project’s initial phases; Daniels on Parliament marks the final piece of the third phase of redevelopment here. Designed by Superkül with KIRKOR Architects and Planners as Architect of Record, the project features a 10-storey north building and 25-storey south tower. UrbanToronto's last update was in August, 2024.

From Oak Street, the south elevation of the 25-storey tower’s podium features two distinct precast brick finishes: a light buff brick veneer along the podium base, then darker red brick above the second floor. Inset balconies are topped by concrete slabs with painted undersides, as seen on the third-floor corner balcony, with shoring posts remaining in place while the concrete continues to cure. Glazing and black louvres are installed across the podium.

In a view from December, 2024, the mid-rise north building (right) topped off the month prior. A construction hoist was installed along the east elevation, and to the left, formwork is in place for the final residential floors of the south tower. Additional formwork is staged atop the five-storey podium volume at the southeast corner, where cladding is nearing completion, save for exposed concrete parapet sections awaiting finishing work.

A more distant view looking southeast in January, 2025 shows the 25-storey south tower now topped off. The image offers a clear view of the project's overall massing, with a C-shaped podium enclosing a central courtyard, while the taller tower anchors the southwest corner and the lower volume steps up to the north.

The taller tower’s construction hoist is installed along its south elevation, seen here in February, 2025. Brick installation has advanced to the seventh floor of the north building, visible on the far right. At grade, the south elevation along Oak Street will feature a residential entrance clad in pre-finished aluminum complemented by light cherry wood-look finishes.

Looking north along Parliament Street, the taller tower’s projecting balcony slabs define its facade. A tarped section at the southwest corner marks where glazing is pending installation. Above, insulation panelling is in place at the corner, being readied for cladding, with additional insulation seen at the fifth-floor level on the right. To the left, cladding has reached the seventh floor on the south volume of the 10-storey tower. The west elevation along Parliament Street will feature retail entrances framed by painted curtain wall glazing, topped by a pre-finished metal canopy.

Looking southwest this month, white precast panels are now installed between floors five and seven on the right. The volume on the left has glazing largely completed, while on the right, glazing is installed across the first three floors.

The complex will deliver a combined total of 643 residential units, standing at 40.7m and 88.25m.
