Rising ever higher in Toronto's Church-Wellesley neighborhood, Yonge at Wellesley Station is now three-quarters of the way to its peak as work progresses on the final dozen floors of the 46-story condominium off Plaza. UrbanToronto's previous update in May 2025 captured the project shortly after its 40-story elevation was approved, with formwork progressing over the three-story brick-clad podium.
Viewed from across Maitland Street in August 2025, the BDP Quadrangle-designed tower had risen to approximately the 23rd floor at that time. A yellow construction elevator is attached to the west facade and reaches up to around the 17th floor. Several floors of white precast panels were added along the south side of the tower, establishing the vertical expression above the recessed reveal on the fourth floor. The podium below is largely enclosed by prefabricated panels with a red brick veneer, but portions of exposed concrete remain near the elevator. The crane stands over the south end of the building.

A close-up shot in September 2025 shows the red brick veneered precast panels framing the podium, with openings still awaiting black-framed glazing assemblies. Above the reveal level, to the right of the white cladding, we see two floors with dark glazing and black parapets and slats. Below, the glazed step-back on the fourth level is visible beneath the white paneling.

In October 2025, this southeast-facing vantage point reveals the white precast cladding of the north facade, which now rises eight stories above the podium. In addition, dark window wall elements are installed on several levels and are covered with a blue weather protection strip. Further up, the concrete boom pump is stationed on the northern edge of the roof. At the southern end, vertical formwork panels are bundled near the crane.

Later that month, the west façade's exterior elevator rose to approximately the 27th floor as the tower continued its ascent. Below, the podium shows clear progress toward enclosure: dark glazing with black mullions and louvers is installed at the northern end of the ground and second floors, framing the tall retail and lobby openings set in the brick-clad precast panels. There are window-wall modules above the podium up to the 15th level.

Viewed from Wellesley Street to the northwest, the tower is now at approximately its 35th floor and is nearing completion of its final twelve floors. Along the north facade, white prefabricated panels extend up to around the 19th floor, paired with finished glazing and parapets up to the 18th floor. The western façade also shows steady progress in fencing, with window-wall modules extending to the 18th floor and white balcony panels projecting outwards, still supported by makeshift support posts.

When completed, the tower will stand 450 feet (149.1 m) tall and will bring 572 new condominiums to the area.
