MENKES “TOPS OFF” AT THE WHITFIELD
July 1, 2025
After "breaking ground" in early 2022, The Whitfield at Front & Sherbourne successfully "tops off".
Toronto – July 1, 2025 – Menkes Developments Ltd. (“Menkes”) is pleased to announce the successful “topping off” of The Whitfield, a 45-storey condominium in the heart of Toronto’s St. Lawrence community. The “topping off” is a major milestone in the construction progress, signifying the completion of the tower’s exterior structural framework.
The Whitfield is already an architectural landmark on the Toronto skyline with its wave-inspired form and bold red fins – a homage to the area’s industrial heritage – bringing a distinctive presence to one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
The Whitfield’s contemporary design strikes the perfect balance between its historic surroundings and 21st century flair. The stunning tower designed by Giannonne Petricone Associates, is adorned with terracotta-toned fins, while the building’s signature curved façade features masonry “ribbons” on the upper podium levels. These serve as balconies for some units, creating a new modern look, while simultaneously paying tribute to the neighbourhood’s rich history in manufacturing.
The Whitfield broke ground in early 2022 after selling out in a record-breaking four months. The Whitfield boasts 484 residential units with 10,000 square feet of state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor amenities including: a fitness room, co-work, garden café, games lounge, kids playroom, and a wrap-around outdoor terrace complete with all entertaining needs.
Interior design firm Figur3 envisioned The Whitfield residential suites with a strong emphasis on livability and comfort, including: serene baths, dedicated work nooks, and inviting outdoor spaces; ensuring every suite complements an urban lifestyle. And what better complements that lifestyle than a building chock full of exceptional amenities? The stunning lobby, staffed with a 24-hour concierge is outfitted in fine furnishings, a vibe reminiscent of a boutique heritage hotel. From the calming Garden Café and Fitness Centre, to the uber-productive Co-work Lounge, and Bar & Games Room, every space has been thoughtfully considered, even a pet spa.
Surrounded by history, full of culture, and an all-encompassing urban experience, The Whitfield will take downtown living to new heights. The Whitfield is scheduled to begin welcoming residents in Spring 2026.
