Construction is nearing completion at South Forest Hill Residences, where the pair of condominium towers designed by Arcadis for Parallax Investment Corporation and Westdale Properties are now topped off and largely enclosed. Rising 20 and 21 storeys at 63 through 91 Montclair Avenue in Toronto’s Forest Hill neighbourhood, the development’s construction began in November, 2023.
In August 2024, there were two cranes in place. The west crane, positioned centre, below, was used to build the 20-storey tower, while the east crane, partially obscured by trees to the left, was on the 21-storey tower. A grid of shoring posts and scaffolding supported formwork and slab decking for the second-floor pour. Along the right side of the frame, vertical concrete columns had rebar extending above.
In February, 2025, both towers rose approximately eight storeys, with balcony slabs projecting towards the street. A construction hoist was installed between the towers. White cladding panels are installed along portions of the ground and second levels, while areas above show strips of insulation boards awaiting final cladding.
Attention shifted to the six-storey podium linking the two towers in July, 2025, where the building envelope was then well advanced beneath the future seventh-floor amenity terrace. The facade took shape through a combination of panel cladding and large sections of window wall glazing framed by dark aluminum mullions.
Looking eastwards in August, 2025, the west tower had topped off with the mechanical penthouse still in bare concrete. Just behind, the east tower was advancing through its own penthouse level one floor higher. On the west tower, glazing was installed about halfway up, with white cladding running the length of the tower.
In another high-angle view from October, 2025, both towers stood topped off, with their mechanical penthouses now clad and awaiting final glazing installation. The west tower’s crane has been dismantled. Window wall installation has advanced further on the east tower, with dark glazing and aluminum mullions extending to roughly the 15th floor. Projecting balcony slabs line the left edges of both towers, while the west tower features step-backs at its top floors on the west elevation. At the southeast corner of the east tower is another construction hoist.
This month, both towers stand fully formed with the second tower crane now removed. The six-storey podium is largely finished, with its light-toned panel system and punched window openings. Above, the towers rise with metal balcony guards and white-painted balcony soffits below. On the left, the uppermost levels step back via terracing. A construction hoist remains in place for the west tower, apart from which cladding appears largely complete.
Together, the towers rise to heights of 74.8m and 77.75m, and will deliver a total of 463 condominium units.
