Junction SQ Condos, a five-storey boutique residential building at 410 Keele Street has topped off. Designed by RAW Design for Block Developments, the mid-rise project one block north of Dundas Street in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood, echoes the industrial aesthetic of the area, bringing a contemporary mix of red and grey brick masonry.
Back in mid-August 2024, excavation had reached its full depth, following work that began in January. In a wide view of the site looking southwest from Keele Street, soldier piles and timber lagging line the shoring wall, supported by a series of angled H-beam braces. A horizontal steel raker reinforces the southwest corner. At the bottom of the pit, bundled rebar, formwork, and materials are staged. A sloped ramp at the northwest corner provides site access. The concrete base pad for the upcoming crane is visible at the south end, in preparation for its installation the following month.
Construction emerged above grade by February, 2025. Seen here in March, the concrete frame has risen two floors, where active slab work is underway with conduit, mechanical sleeves, and rebar matting staged ahead of a concrete pour for the third floor. A red concrete boom pump, positioned off Vine Avenue, arcs over the site to place concrete near the centre, north of the blue crane. Scaffolding is in place along the Keele Street frontage, while red safety fencing lines the second and third floor slabs.
Looking south from Keele Street in late June, 2025, the structure had progressed to the fourth storey, with formwork and slab decking underway for the fifth floor. This street-level view shows active formwork supported by vertical shoring posts. On the east and north elevations, cladding installation is visible at grade, including sections of clear glazing set within dark mullions, along with black spandrel panels and metal louvres. They are surrounded by white weatherproofing.
Earlier this month, concrete work had progressed on the uppermost residential floor. Formwork panels are visible in the centre, north of the crane. Along the east elevation, the parapet geometry reveals a staggered, sawtooth profile, defining a series of boxed planters as part of the landscaping. Below, glazing and cladding continue to advance on the north elevation.
Captured yesterday, this view looking northwest from Keele Street shows the concrete formed for the mechanical penthouse, which will be surrounded by rooftop terraces. White weatherproofing is installed on the south elevation up to the fourth floor, with white and blue weatherproofing along the angled east elevation. Metal framing is in place on both elevations in advance of cladding installation. Scaffolding and sidewalk hoarding remain at grade.
Along Keele Street and the north elevation, red Brampton Brick masonry is planned for the first four storeys, with lighter grey brick cladding to distinguish the stepped-back fifth floor. On the south elevation, a mix of glass spandrel and light- and red-toned brick masonry would provide contrast. Once complete, the building will stand 16.84m and contain 65 condominium units.
