Five months after UrbanToronto’s previous update, construction continues on No. 31 Condos at the west edge of Toronto’s Distillery District. Rising at 31 Parliament Street, the 46-storey condominium tower designed by Arquitectonica, with Arcadis as Architect of Record, is being developed by Lanterra Developments and Westdale Properties. Since our January, 2026 look at the project, work at No. 31 has shifted increasingly toward exterior enclosure while the neighbouring 32-storey Goode Condos has reached completion.
Looking across Parliament Street in May, 2026, No. 31 Condos is topped off at its full 46-storey height, its stepped massing clearly expressed along the west elevation as the tower recedes toward the upper floors. Brick-pattern precast cladding now wraps much of the west and south faces, while extensive window wall glazing and dark spandrel panels enclose the lower and mid-rise levels. At grade, exposed cast-in-place concrete walls and structural columns remain visible behind construction fencing, with sections of blue weatherproofing applied around column bases and several window openings still temporarily boarded with plywood. The tower’s prominent south-side crash wall remains exposed above the street and next to the Union Station Rail Corridor.
In a distant view from Lake Shore Boulevard at Cherry Street, the tower's slim profile is featured in its narrow east elevation. Precast cladding has advanced nearly to the top of the building, stopping just below the mechanical penthouse, while the crane remains in place above the roofline.
Looking north to the south elevation this month, No. 31 Condos appears largely enclosed, with brick-pattern precast cladding now extending continuously to the top of the tower, where we see sections of bare concrete at the mechanical penthouse. The building’s stacked massing is emphasized by a series of prominent step-backs, where fully glazed levels create horizontal breaks within the precast-clad facade. Black glass balcony guards have been installed to approximately the 17th floor, while the residential levels above continue to show exposed concrete balcony slabs and soffits awaiting railing installation.
Looking southwest from the base of the tower, a close-up view highlights the precast cladding. Along the east elevation in the foreground, window wall installation continues behind the precast frame, with mullions, glazing panels, and louvred sections at varying stages of completion. Several openings remain unfinished, exposing insulation and temporary backing panels where glazing has yet to be installed. Above, on the east face, precast installation has progressed to within several storeys of the mechanical penthouse.
No. 31 Condos stands 153.63m and will house 467 condominium units.
