Both towers of Valhalla Village’s Phase 1 in Etobicoke have topped off since UrbanToronto’s last update in March, 2025. KingSett Capital’s rental community at Bloor Street West and The East Mall, designed by BDP Quadrangle, has completed structural work on its 11-storey east tower and 30-storey west tower. The project will deliver 172 affordable housing units to the Eatonville-Bloorlea neighbourhood.

In May, 2025, the 30-storey tower reached roughly its 20th floor, with decking and formwork advancing on the next levels at its north end. The modular cladding, composed of white precast panels with window modules framed in black aluminum, extended ten storeys above the podium up the east face and twelve storeys along the north side, to either side of the construction hoist. Below, the ground level remains unglazed.

Looking east from Highway 427 in August, the west tower stands at 30 storeys, with its residential floors complete, as seven levels await cladding installation. Behind it, the 11-storey east tower is topped off, with alternating white and grey precast panels completing most of its west elevation. The construction hoist remains fixed to it.

Looking southwest across The East Mall at Gibbs Road at the end of September, the 11-storey building presents a fully enclosed facade, its modular cladding system finished with alternating white and grey panels and window modules framed in black aluminum. The podium below is expressed in dark masonry, where ground-floor openings await final hardware and signage for the site’s retail and community offerings. Rising behind with the concrete forming of its mechanical penthouse clearly visible, the 30-storey west tower has topped off. Three residential levels remain to receive their cladding.

A drone view looking northwest on September 30 shows both mechanical penthouses, the mid-rise's fully clad, the high-rise’s remains in raw concrete, its walls and slab edge awaiting the same modular cladding system applied to the residential floors below.

Appearing through power lines in this northeasterly view from Dundas Street this month, the west tower's full run of cladding has now been applied to all floor save for the mechanical penthouse. The crane, still seen here, was dismantled only days after this photo.

Phase 1 stands at 42.5m and 98.3m and will bring a combined 494 rental units to the area. Phase 2 is set to feature 21- and 38-storey towers designed by Zeidler Architecture.
