Construction of NorthCore Condos is well underway in North York’s Lansing neighbourhood, just steps west of the Sheppard-Yonge subway station. The 18-storey mixed rental/residential development, designed by Arcadis and being built by Fieldgate Urban, has already reached its final few floors. The project includes a four-storey townhouse block fronting Bogert Avenue. With 415 total residential units, NorthCore is set to offer modern living with strong transit access, quality architectural finishes, and community-oriented design.
Project Details & Architecture
NorthCore Condos combines high-rise and low-rise elements. The high-rise tower will rise to 18 storeys, plus a mechanical penthouse, while the southern portion of the site includes the four-storey townhouse block along Bogert Avenue.
Townhouses are being developed with precast red brick cladding, black metal accents, and terrace railings on top floors. For the tower, the lower podium is clad in brick-veneer precast with a streetwall presence along Sheppard Avenue. Above the podium, the design transitions to vision glass, black aluminum frames, spandrel panels, and louvers for the upper levels.
The tower’s architectural detailing also includes a stepback at the seventh floor along the west end, creating a variation in the silhouette. The exterior finishes striving for modern aesthetic, durability, and community harmonization.
Unit Mix & Residential Features
Once completed, NorthCore will deliver approximately 415 residential units. The mix includes both the tower’s units and townhouse units.
The townhouses will be prominent along Bogert Avenue, with terraces overlooking the street. In the tower: residential entrances, future retail at street level, and a two-level underground parking structure support the project.
There will also be significant attention to the ground-level streetscape: brick-veneered precast façade across multiple lower floors; openings designed to frame residential and retail entrances; vehicular passage adjacent to parts of the tower that will be finished later (soffits, cladding).
Location & Transit Connectivity
One of NorthCore’s strongest assets is its location. It is located in the Lansing neighbourhood, just west of the Sheppard-Yonge subway station—a key transit hub. This proximity means walkable access to the TTC subway, buses, and other transit services.
Moreover, the low-rise residential context around the site lends a more human scale to the development, helping integrate it into the fabric of the area. Residents will both benefit from being close to urban amenities and transit while enjoying quieter, residential street views (especially the townhouses fronting Bogert).

Construction Progress & Timeline
As of August 2025, NorthCore’s tower had reached 11 storeys, with formwork and decking underway for the 12th floor slab. By a later report, the tower had climbed to 16 storeys, closing in on its full height of 18 storeys (plus mechanical penthouse).
Brick veneer cladding has been installed up to the fifth level on certain facades, and work has begun on the sixth. The lower levels along Sheppard Avenue are showing the streetwall design, with retail and residential entrances starting to take shape. The townhouse block has also progressed to the fourth-floor structure, with terraces being outlined.
While exact move-in dates weren’t confirmed in the report, with structural completion approaching, interior work and finishes are likely next phases. Interested buyers or renters should watch for announcements and developer releases.
Why NorthCore Matters for Buyers & Renters
For people looking to live in North York, especially those working downtown or using transit heavily, NorthCore offers a compelling mix: modern architecture, transit access, and a variety of unit types. The inclusion of townhouses adds diversity to what is otherwise mostly tower developments in the area.
Also, the podium retail and well-designed street frontage help activate the area, improving walkability and providing convenience. For investors, the site’s proximity to transit likely adds value over time. For renters and owner-occupiers alike, the ability to live near Sheppard-Yonge without needing to be right on a busy main street could be a strong draw.
Final Thoughts
NorthCore Condos is visibly changing the skyline of Lansing and will soon be a prominent address in North York. With 415 units, including a townhouse component, and strong transit adjacency, it hits many of the marks people look for: walkability, architectural character, and balanced design. As the construction advances toward final height, the developing streetfront, retail spaces, and thoughtful façade treatments suggest the finished project will contribute positively to the urban fabric. For prospective residents, renters, and real estate investors, NorthCore presents both an attractive lifestyle proposition and a long-term value play.
Keep an eye out for the developer’s release of pricing details, floor plans, and completion date announcements. Uptake may be strong given its desirability and location.
