Work at Oro<\/a> condominiums at Hurontario Street and Elm Drive West in Mississauga\u2019s Fairview neighbourhood has climbed from its podium to its tower floors, while park construction is progressing at the west end of the site beside the completed\u00a0Edge Towers<\/a>. Designed by\u00a0Rosario \u201cRoy\u201d Varacalli<\/a> for\u00a0Solmar Development Corp<\/a>, the 50-storey condominium is the community’s third and tallest phase. The development sits between the future Fairview and Burnhamthorpe stops on the under-construction\u00a0Hurontario\u2013Main Line 10 LRT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looking east from Elm Drive West in March, 2026, Oro\u2019s 12-storey component is on the right, while the rising tower to the left steps back above the five-storey podium. Beige precast panels frame tinted glazing across the lower levels, with panel installation extending onto the mid-rise. Exposed concrete slabs, columns, and walls mark the tower\u2019s active upper floors.<\/p>\n

In May, 2026, the west-facing view from across Hurontario Street shows the topped-off mid-rise section with glazing installed through the ninth floor. To its left, a mobile crane assists with the dismantling of the mid-rise’s crane, whose jib has already been removed, leaving its mast and upper machinery assembly. A crane continues to serve the high-rise, then reaching approximately 21 storeys, with decking and formwork in place for the 22nd-floor slab and its supporting structure. Precast cladding reaches the 13th floor, with dark glazing following through the eighth.<\/p>\n

From the completed 35-storey Edge 1 in September, 2026, this view shows the future park footprint along Kariya Drive at the west end of the complex. Fresh backfill covers an earlier excavation to the right beside a yellow tracked excavator. Materials are staged along the southern boundary, with smaller stockpiles near the tower and across the eastern portion of the site. Temporary perimeter fencing separates the work from surrounding sidewalks.<\/p>\n

Returning to Oro this month, the tower stands at approximately 39 storeys, with formwork advancing for the 40th floor. Light precast panels reach the 30th level, followed by glazing with dark mullions and louvred sections through approximately the 28th. The construction hoist serves landings up to roughly the 34th floor, climbing through the recessed bay that divides the podium volumes below. This vertical strip remains open for construction access, with stacked balconies rising along this section of the finished tower.<\/p>\n

A drone view places Oro within the three-building Edge Towers community at the far back, its crane marking the active construction site. At the site’s west end, the park\u2019s cleared footprint extends beside the completed buildings.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Oro\u2019s west elevation shows precast cladding extending to the 31st floor, while a concrete boom pump stands to the right of the crane for the 41st floor in progress. Glazing follows roughly two floors below the uppermost panels, including across the central stack of recessed balconies. Taller window openings distinguish the 13th floor, likely for indoor amenities connecting to the outdoor terrace above the mid-rise.<\/p>\n

Once complete, Oro will add 614 condominium units to the Edge Towers community.<\/p>\n
