AI Article Summary
In 2025, Cielo Condos, a project by Collecdev-Markee Developments and designed by KPMB Architects, progressed from ground level to reaching mid-tower on its 34-storey structure. Located in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood, the project retained the Gothic Revival walls of Bloor Street United Church and utilized heritage conservation overseen by ERA Architects. The construction involved a complex integration of new concrete structures with heritage elements, marking significant milestones by reaching halfway through the tower's height by November 2025.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how blending heritage conservation with modern residential construction can be successfully achieved, providing a template for other urban developers. For Canadian builders, this means navigating heritage preservation laws and finding innovative ways to integrate them with new construction projects. The collaboration between designers, architects, and heritage conservationists is crucial in keeping timelines on track while ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
