Construction advances at 4800 Yonge in North York

Construction at Menkes’ 4800 Yonge Street is steadily advancing above the south-west corner of Yonge and Sheppard in North York, as the project begins to rise above one of the city’s busiest intersections.

Designed by Arquitectonica with B+H Architects and Turner Fleischer, the 49 storey skyscraper will feature a distinctive curved profile, adding a unique architectural expression to the North York City Centre skyline.

Initial construction on the project began in 2022, which a complex below-grade excavation. Notably, the structure is being constructed above existing subway tracks for TTC Line 4 Sheppard, requiring careful engineering and coordination before the tower could rise above grade.

As of Spring 2026, significant progress has been made on the towers 7-storey podium, which will contain a mix of retail and commercial office space. Once the podium levels are completed, construction will shift to the tower’s residential floors. 

Upon completion, 4800 Yonge will contain 498 residential units and will reach a height of 168 metres, making it the tallest building in North York. The tower will surpass the neighbouring Hullmark Centre development, completed in 2014, which stands at 167 metres.

Stay tuned as we continue to follow the tower’s progress in the months ahead.
