The Stella rises in Etobicoke in the six points and brings 26- and 30-story rent towers to the southeastern corner of the Kipling Avenue and the Dundas Street West. Designed by Henriquez Partners Architects for Tricon Residential, Kilmer Group and Createto, the development is part of the City of Toronto housing construction and adds a significant supply to Kipling Station rental apartments. Urbantoronto recently delivered an update on the website in June 2025.
Today the city of Toronto confirmed that the construction lasts three months before the schedule. The development is one of five new rental apartments planned in urban countries in Bloor and Kipling, with at least 900 units secured as affordable rental. Bloor-Kipling is the first NET-NULL community to be planned in Toronto, whereby all blocks are operated by a district energy system that offers low-carbon heating and cooling.

The renovation follows the 77-million removal of the former six-point exchange by the city and undertakes to renovate almost 18 hectares over seven plots and at the same time offers a much more friendly road network to promote the growth of the community. The area is anchored by a brand new Civic Center for Etobicoke, which is built directly in the Dundas Street north of the Stella.
“The city of Toronto is also building up more affordable housing buildings during this market,” said Mayor Olivia Chow. “Developments in Bloor-Kipling will be a transit-oriented community that offers 2,700 houses with 30 percent affordable units.”
The podium looks east along the south height in June 2025 and is now articulated by angular concrete concrete slabs, which frame the window openings in deep, faceted surroundings. The white panels, which at that time extended over the second to fourth floor, are mounted against the construction frame with steel connections. Their rejuvenating disclosure give the facade dimensionality.

Prefabricated cladding plates are installed in an alternating rhythm within the central courtyard, whereby their angled frames create a faceted pattern around the window openings. The panels leave cavities for the future glazing installation, and their geometry shows the shaped mass that the court edges defined. At the top, several levels are supported, as they heal by dense support posts that are transmitted between concrete columns.

The podium was viewed from the other Dundas Street in July 2025 in July 2025 and had risen along the north and east grabs on six floors. At the western end there are prefabricated cladding panels up to the fourth floor. Parts of the seventh and eighth floor were founded, which mark the points at which the two high-rise buildings are in shape, and the 26-story west tower and the 30-story east-end tower will rise above the level and mark the points.

From the Kipling Avenue Bridge over the rail corridor, which looks northeast at the end of August 2025, the podium climbs into step steps and reached seven floors on the distant east side and eight in the west. At the top, the west tower has risen to 10 floors, with parts of the 11th stage already being formed, while a white concrete boom pump bends above the terrain. In the east, the East Tower only turns around one floor behind it, with its top levels being marked by formwork. Feelscape class now extends over large parts of the southern podium.

This month, this latest view shows that the towers quickly grow over the podium level.

While the white fecast panels are currently define the increases of the Stella, their final appearance will still be available: Henriquez Partner has confirmed with urbanonto that the unmistakable coloring of the exterior – can be seen in the top of this article – by coloring in summer 2026 as soon as the installation of all tables is complete. Although the panels rise in their untreated condition, the decision to apply the finish as a single phase enables a more efficient and cheaper process.
After completion, the Stella delivers 725 rental houses over two towers, which are 85.3 m and 98.5 m high. In the following years there are more housing projects in the region, while other residential projects are nearby in various planning and construction phases.
Urbantoronto will continue to follow progress in these developments. In the meantime, however, you can find out more about this from our database file linked below.
