Since UrbanToronto's last update in July 2025, Concord Sky has both grown taller and its curtain wall glazing has continued to rise across the podium levels, directly above and behind the complex's preserved historic facades at Yonge and Gerrard. The 85-story mixed-use tower, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates with Architects-Alliance as Architect of Record for Concord Adex, begins to reveal its stepped massing just before the taper that will define its north facade.
Looking at Concord Sky's west facade in September 2025, the tower had reached approximately the 18th floor, with formwork and newly poured concrete walls extending to the 19th floor. The north and south cranes frame the top of the structure, while a concrete boom is ready for use between them. Below, several floors feature curtain wall glazing framed by vertical insulation panels into which future white aluminum panels will be inserted.

This image looks north from an upper floor of the TMU Student Learning Center and highlights the tower's significant setbacks. Below, a massive concrete wall – which will later be hidden by finishing work – rises to the 8th floor before transitioning into a lounge level with a terrace. Above, the east elevation shows another setback near the 15th floor, where the slab edge draws inward, where the narrowed mass continues upward as the tower rises.

Looking southwest toward O'Keefe Lane from the other side of Gerrard Street East, one can see seven levels of curtain wall glazing on the east facade, now installed along the lane. The system's reflective viewing glass, paired panes with operable sections, and bands of perforated aluminum ventilation panels give the façade its emerging rhythm. The north façade has reached six levels of completed glazing, which are also framed by insulation panels and awaiting enclosure. Below, the preserved historic facades are still supported by a robust steel framework system, with Tyvek sheathing protecting and preserving the stone end cap cared for by ERA architects.

Looking southeast across Yonge and Gerrard, several completed storeys of curtain wall glazing can now be seen at the northern end of Yonge Street. The central recess in the facade is clearly visible and the glazing is already in place. Above this, the projecting volume on the east side of the north facade defines the last podium floors and the slimmer tower floors. At this point, the structure has reached approximately 21 floors, a few floors from the next stage that will signal the start of the tower's tapered upper volume.

When completed, Concord Sky will be 300.2 m tall, barely fitting into the “supertall” category. There will also be 1,407 condominiums in the Yonge-Gerrard area.
