A project of The Pemberton Group, U Condos was designed by Toronto’s architectsAlliance. The complex features a 50-storey condo tower on the east side of the property, along Bay Street, and a 45-storey condo building on the west side of the site, off St Mary Street.
Below is an artistic illustration of the towers, followed by photos I have shot of construction progress since late March.
This artistic illustration of the two U Condos towers appears in an online brochure on the Pemberton Group’s website
