Eight Cumberland Making Steady Progress Upward | UrbanToronto
The Eight Cumberland project from Great Gulf and Phantom Developments is now making steady progress upward at Yonge and Cumberland streets in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. The new architects—Alliance-designed condo has been under construction since early 2019.

Our last update on the project in May included the podium levels approaching structural completion, as well as an extra-thick transfer slab being put in place above the sixth floor. The slab was designed to redirect the structural load of the floor-plates’ cantilevered east and west sides down through the podium floor-plates below.

Now, three months later, the shoring posts are gone from under the larger west-side cantilever, the podium levels have reached structural completion, and the tenth floor of the tower is taking shape.

This recent tower floor construction means that the now repeating floor-plates will result in a much quicker construction timeline for the upper floors.
Upon completion, the tower will reach a final height of 51 storeys, or 170 metres and will introduce 371 new condominium units to Yorkville –one of Canada’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods–and will line Yonge and Cumberland with 1,200 m² of retail space.
