Building history and completion

The building is being developed by three builders: Cityzen , Castlepoint Numa from Toronto and Fernbrook Homes from Concord , Ontario. The building was officially opened in 2016 after completion was delayed several times. One cause of the delay was a stoppage of work due to safety concerns about the crane at the top of the building. Despite the crane being removed by September 2018, the building won eighth place in the 2017 Emporis Skyscraper Award in the Best New Skyscraper category.
