Since UrbanToronto’s last update in March, 2026, the number of cranes hovering over Rushden Station's towers has been reduced to one. With two towers topped off, its third tower is now approaching topping off as well, and cladding continues to rise across the complex. Located beside Danforth GO station in Toronto’s East End, the bKL Architecture-designed development by Fitzrovia Real Estate comprises towers of 29, 37, and 39 storeys. At the shared podium, enclosure work is also advancing, most notably through the installation of hand-laid dark grey brick across its north elevation.
In June, 2026, the 29-storey west tower is now free of its crane, while the red-clad, 39-storey central tower has topped out, with its concrete mechanical penthouse formed and enclosure beginning across the north face. Behind it, the blue-toned east tower stands at approximately 36 storeys, its window wall rising to within five floors of the exposed upper structure.
In July, 2026, the west tower’s green window wall rises above the shared podium, where workers are laying a dark grey brick face by hand from two mast-climbing work platforms. The platform at left has advanced higher, with completed masonry extending beneath its deck and fresh courses reaching the working level, while the lower platform to the right follows along the elevation. Blue weatherproofing remains exposed above areas awaiting their final cladding, and the west tower’s twin-car construction hoist continues to serve the northwest corner.
From track level, the south elevation is anchored by a substantial reinforced-concrete crash wall, above which the podium’s enclosed parking levels are screened by projecting aluminum fins in a staggered pattern. Finished in seven tones (green, light green, red, pink, blue, light blue, and white), the fins form a lively vertical pattern across dark backing panels and bands of glazing. Higher up, glazed shared volumes link the base of the three towers, whose green, red, and blue window-wall grids rise overhead.
Seen in a distant view from Downtown this month, the red-clad central tower has a compact rooftop derrick erected and anchored to the mechanical penthouse roof; its lattice boom was there to lower the crane in manageable sections — its jib, counter-jib, machinery deck, and mast — before the derrick itself is dismantled to complete the crane-removal sequence.
Meanwhile, dark grey hand-laid brick now encloses much of the podium’s central four storeys, with the masonry worked around window openings to create a regular grid. At left, the mast-climbing platform marks the active installation front below the central tower, where blue weather-resistant membrane remains exposed along the fourth floor. The podium’s eastern end is less advanced, revealing the concrete frame, temporary shoring, and white weatherproofing around glazing.
The completed green and red window-wall grids of the west and central towers rise above the podium levels, while the blue-clad east tower remains under construction by the project’s sole remaining crane. Its main residential floors have topped out, and formwork, deck framing, scaffolding, and temporary edge protection now define the stepped mechanical penthouse, whose step-back along the west elevation echoes the rooftop profiles of its neighbours.
At completion, the three towers will deliver 922 rental units and reach heights of 108.25m, 132.20m, and 138.10m. A separate final phase, Tower D, is planned to the east at 40 storeys and 141.55m.
