Since UrbanToronto’s last update in February, 2026, both forming and cladding continues to advance at Cielo Condos as the 34-storey tower nears the completion of its vertical rise above Bloor Street West in Toronto’s Annex. Designed by KPMB Architects for Collecdev-Markee Developments, the project sits at the northwest corner of Bloor and Huron streets, retaining the Gothic Revival stone walls of Bloor Street United Church and the restored George C. Pidgeon House, with all heritage aspects under the direction of ERA Architects.
From across Huron Street in late March, 2026, portions of the heritage retention scaffold along the east elevation have now been dismantled. To the right, precast brick-faced cladding has been installed at the second floor, beneath the projecting tower volume. Above, the window wall system is advancing behind exposed slab edges, paired with grey spandrel panels and sections of precast cladding that extend slightly beyond the glazing line.
From Bloor Street's sidewalk, curtain wall glazing has been installed at grade on the left where a retail unit will be, while additional glazing and framing extend upward along the podium levels. Deeper into the structure, partial curtain wall installation is visible at the fourth floor, beside white weatherproofing and pre-cladding. This podium will accommodate a mix of office space and residential amenity areas, including a shared community use space named McClure Hall.
This month, the tower has climbed into its uppermost floors beneath the luffing-jib crane. A construction hoist runs up the west elevation, terminating just below the active work zone, where a white tarp encloses the most recently poured slab. Below, the facade is steadily filling in, with window wall glazing and spandrel panels installed across several lower storeys, accompanied by precast cladding panels.
Meanwhile, a second crane has been installed at the north end of the site, behind which the KESKUS Estonian Cultural Centre, also under construction, is wrapped in yellow weatherproofing. To the right of the crane, the retained George C. Pidgeon House remains braced within a steel support frame. At the left edge of the frame, canted concrete columns rise from the podium, marking the structural zone where the building will cantilever over the subway infrastructure below.
The tower is seen here at approximately 32 storeys, with work to transition to the mechanical penthouse above following the last two residential floors. The facade continues to advance across the south elevation, where window wall glazing and grey spandrel panels are now installed across multiple lower storeys, accompanied by precast cladding panels. A vertical strip of white weatherproofing remains visible along the right side.
A closer view of the southwest end of the podium highlights the projecting volume fronting Bloor Street, where curtain wall glazing now spans the second through fourth floors across both the south elevation and wrapping onto the east face. The glazing is framed by vertical mullions and opaque spandrel sections. Construction hoarding and scaffolding remain in place along the sidewalk. Above, formwork panels and temporary guardrails line the roof level of the podium.
Upon completion, Cielo Condos will rise to 130.35m and deliver 349 residential suites.
