Description

Rising above the historic streets of Old Town Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Celeste Condominiums introduces an elegant vertical landmark to 125 George Street. This 40-story mixed-use tower anchors the corner of Richmond Street East and George Street with a striking contemporary presence. The high-rise design gracefully pairs modern multi-residential density with the cultural charm of its historic downtown surroundings.

Challenge

  • Carry complex, heavily detailed geometric profiles across a 40-storey tower in historic Old Town Toronto
  • The original precast architectural wall panel design carried cost and construction implications that called for value engineering
  • Maintain construction efficiency on a constrained downtown site

Solution

  • CladiFab, Cladify‚Äö√Ñ√¥s prefabricated complete wall system, with insulation, air and water barrier, and structural components integrated into each panel at the factory
  • Value engineered from precast architectural wall panels
  • Geometric cladding features assembled directly into the prefabricated exterior wall, in panels up to 35 feet
  • Complete units mounted to the structure floor by floor, simplifying field logistics and speeding up the envelope
  • High thermal properties built into the assembly

Products that Perform

Cladify designs facade cladding systems as coordinated assemblies, developed to integrate cleanly with the building envelope and perform at scale. Our approach supports rainscreen and prefabricated wall assemblies, allowing project teams to choose the delivery method that best aligns with schedule, site constraints, and architectural intent.
