We have been closely following the construction of Metropia, Bazis, Plaza's Emerald Park Condos, a development comprised of 42 and 33-storey towers by architect Rosario Varacalli. The vibrant green cladding and flared tops of the two towers have captured the attention of many development enthusiasts, adding a distinctive landmark to the North York City Centre skyline. The development recently met a major milestone, with the addition of a two-storey steel hollow structure section truss atop the shorter west tower.

The two-storey steel section continues the signature curved flare that tops each tower, terminating above the mechanical penthouse. The east tower will soon get a steel frame as well, and both will be covered in the ame emerald green glass and spandrel that is being installed all the way up the towers.

The now-topped off west tower, along with the soon to top off east tower are making quite the impression from several vantage points around North York, including from Highway 401.
