The 46-storey first tower at VuPoint Condos is now rising high into the sky northwest of Pickering GO station in Pickering’s City Centre, while a second crane has been erected for the 53-storey second phase. Designed by Arcadis for Tribute Communities, the three-tower condominium community will eventually be completed by a 49-storey tower.
In December, 2025, the first, westernmost tower stood 17 storeys tall, with perimeter formwork, safety fencing, and decking assembled for the 18th-floor slab, while the building envelope had advanced to approximately the ninth floor on the west elevation (interrupted by the construction hoist) and the 10th on the north, featuring white precast panels, dark spandrel panels, black mullions, and floor-to-ceiling window wall. Below, much of the six-storey podium remains wrapped in blue and yellow weatherproofing.
In January, 2026, the building envelope advanced across the north elevation of the six-storey podium, with retail space to feature at ground level. Above-grade parking will be found on the south side facing the 401, hidden behind residential suites that face Kingston Road to the north, and supplementing five underground levels. The seventh-floor amenity level is distinguished by glazed guardrails above the podium.
A drone image from March, 2026 captures the first tower rising to approximately 26 storeys, with crew members forming the 27th-floor slab. The building envelope had reached roughly the 18th floor, with five stacked columns of angled projecting balconies along the west elevation. Below, formwork and construction materials are staged on the podium roof.
In April, 2026, the exposed east face of the podium revealed the above-grade parking structure in bare concrete, including sloped parking decks stepping upward toward the north, and open structural bays awaiting enclosure. Above, the tower showcases angled projecting balconies along the east elevation, contrasting with the flatter north elevation, where vertical white precast cladding frames dark window wall glazing.
Viewed from across Highway 401 that same month, the podium’s south elevation featured exposed insulation surrounded by weatherproofing, while completed cladding on the right feature alternating white and dark vertical panels that conceal garage areas. Above, the residential tower features two narrow balcony stacks flanking a broader central stack, with white glazed balcony guards installed on several lower levels.
In June, 2026, the first tower climbed to approximately 40 storeys, with formwork assembled for the 41st floor and partial decking extending for the next slab pour above. The building envelope advanced to roughly the 32nd floor, while balcony guards had been installed to about the 25th. To the right, work had begun on the second phase as a new crane was being assembled with the assistance of a mobile crane.
Upon completion, the first tower will rise 151.15m, joined by 172.1m and 160.6m towers in the second and third phases, bringing the full VuPoint Condos development to 1,779 condominium units. UrbanToronto’s previous update was in November, 2025.
