The crown of 8 Wellesley rises in the northwestern corner of the streets Yonge and Wellesley and is completely like most of its disguise. The 55-story, mixed condominium developed by Arcadis and designed by Arcadis is located from the Wellesley station on the Yonge line. The great -eliminated East of the tower is designed by Arcadis. The tower is shaped to meet the requirements of the Angular aircraft from Toronto, a visual element that differs on the neighboring piles.

Urbantoronto last delivered a building update in July 2024. Now the project is being promoted on the occupancy of the year this year towards the occupancy.
In January 2025 to the southwest of the Dundonald Street, the closed crown of 8 Wellesley is now shaped and mostly disguised. The counterweight of the building maintenance unit can be seen on the roof over the completely shaped crown. The east height of the tower shows its skilled profile. On the left is the Lightbox south of the slope. The north height is completely disguised, shows black aluminum plates and tinted glazing with light vertical fins. Further down, the prominent, christening section above the podium projects outwards, while a notched column runs vertically along the northern height, breaks the masses of the facade and extends to the tip of the slope.

By February 2025, the projecting northern volume is defined by white vertical fins that rise along its south side. A single glazing field must be installed at the top right. The Lightbox element now appears in daylight orange.

This month, the construction high was removed from the west height, which reveals a exposed section in which the disguise installation has not yet been completed. With a view to the east from Bay Street, the gap in the cladding goes from approximately the 31st floor to the Lightbox element, which is also in operation on this page. Further gaps in the cladding are visible above the light box and in the upper left corner.

With a view of the Dr. Lilian McGregor Park to the northeast we see green weather protection materials and mere concrete between four and eight steps, where the hoist was broken down. This section finally contains embedded balconies. The Heritage facades from 10 to 16 Wellesley Street West are uncovered at the bottom of the street after removing afterwards in February. These red-brick walls of the inheritance serve as an outdoor area for retail and lobby, crowned by the roofing in the mansard style.

With a view to the street level, the south height shows its striking profile with a solid mass and a uniform facade. The self -supporting volume, starting on the ninth floor, projected over the restored facades of the heritage. The outer is completely dressed in black aluminum panels with beaten windows.

8 Wellesley, 182.15 m high, delivers 600 condominiums if the residents move later this year.
