Since UrbanToronto's previous update, Groove Urban Condominiums has topped off, with cladding largely completed on Vaughan Road in Toronto's Humewood-Cedarvale neighbourhood. Designed by RAW Design for Block Developments, the 15-storey condominium is situated within a short walk of St Clair West station and the sops and restaurants of the area.
By April, 2026, we see the building fully topped out, and the crane removed. White powder-coated aluminum panel cladding now wraps the stepped-back upper storeys and mechanical penthouse, while windows are arranged in an irregular pattern across the north elevation. Below, brick cladding and dark accent panels define the lower and middle storeys, while a series of terraces descend towards neighbouring buildings.
Looking northwest, the south and east elevations are nearing completion. The construction hoist remains attached to the south facade, extending to the mechanical penthouse level. Along the east elevation, the project's snaking brick-panelled frames the balconies, with glazing and dark spandrel-panel bands behind, while three vertical strips of windows articulate the building's rear face. Glass balcony guards have been installed across most of the tower, while work continues around the entrance areas and underground garage access to the right.
Along Vaughan Road, the lower eight storeys are defined by brick-framed volumes that create the project's signature facade. Above, the building transitions into a series of stepped-back upper floors culminating in the narrow mechanical penthouse. Dark cladding bands, expansive glazing, and glass balcony guards emphasize the contrast between the masonry lower levels and the lighter contemporary treatment above.
This month, the west elevation is substantially complete, with deep brick-clad frames wrapping around recessed balconies. Extensive glazing spans the floors behind. The construction hoist remains attached to the south elevation for use during interior fit-out and finishing work. At grade, construction fencing remains in place as streetscape and frontage work progresses toward completion.
Groove Urban Condominiums stands 46.29m and will deliver 153 condominium units.
