  • Full-building street-level views of Social Condos at the corner of Church Street and Dundas Street East, showing the 52-storey tower's massing, glass facade, and its relationship to the Church-Yonge Corridor streetscape.
  • Window wall system detail shots across the residential tower floors — module grid, floor-to-ceiling glazing, aluminum framing, and panel alignment across all elevations at 215–229 Church Street.
  • Curtain wall system details at the podium and ground-floor retail levels, illustrating the facade transition between the tower's residential floors and the 5,400+ sq. ft. retail base activation at Church and Dundas.
  • Railing system close-ups across the tower's balcony elevations — showing STATE's railing design, material finish, and integration with the building's exterior residential envelope.
  • Construction and near-completion images documenting STATE's full facade and railing installation at Social Condos from structural completion through to project delivery in 2022.

Social Condos stands out from a facade delivery standpoint because of its triple-system scope on a highly visible, high-density downtown site. The project required window wall across the residential tower floors, curtain wall at the retail podium and base — a system that needed to address both commercial-grade transparency and the durability demands of a ground-level retail environment at one of downtown Toronto's busiest intersections — and railing across the building's balcony grid. Managing three structurally and thermally distinct systems simultaneously, coordinated with Pemberton Group and Unified Build on an active downtown construction site, is precisely the kind of multi-scope project where STATE's vertically integrated design, fabrication, and installation model delivers the most value: one team, one point of accountability, and a single fabrication facility managing the full building envelope scope from design through completion.

No subcontractors, no finger-pointing, one accountable partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Social Condos Toronto facade project

Direct answers to the most common questions about the Social Condos facade — who installed it, what systems were used, when it was completed, and how to see more STATE projects.

What was STATE's scope at Social Condos?

STATE supplied and installed window wall, curtain wall, and railing systems at Social Condos at 215–229 Church Street in Toronto. The scope covered the full building envelope facade and balcony railing across the 52-storey mixed-use tower, acting as the project's single-source facade partner for Pemberton Group. The project was completed in 2022.

What is the difference between window wall and curtain wall on a mixed-use tower?

Window wall is a floor-to-floor system where each panel spans between structural floor slabs — typically used across residential tower floors. Curtain wall is a non-structural glazing system hung from the building structure, often spanning multiple floors, and is commonly used at podiums and commercial bases where transparency, larger spans, and commercial durability are required. STATE delivered both systems at Social Condos — window wall across the residential floors and curtain wall at the retail podium.
