JDass Corp Celebrates Major Milestone at The Hawthorne Residences with Dass Rebar and Dass Metal
On Friday, September 12th, 2025, industry leaders, project partners, and community members gathered to celebrate a key milestone at The Hawthorne Residences—the Top Off event, marking the completion of the building’s concrete frame at 799 Sheppard Avenue West, North York.
This achievement was made possible through strong collaboration between Pinemount Developments, GCL Builds, Dass Rebar, and Dass Metal. Together, these teams brought vision, precision, and innovation to one of North York’s most anticipated residential projects. This “Top Off” event symbolized not only construction progress but also the strength of collaboration across multiple organizations.
About The Hawthorne Residences
The Hawthorne Residences is designed to offer 170 boutique rental suites, combining modern architecture with comfort and convenience. Located in the vibrant Clanton Park community of North York, the development emphasizes thoughtful design, premium finishes, and amenities such as a state-of-the-art fitness centre, resident lounges, and sustainable geothermal energy solutions.
The project stands as a reflection of Toronto’s growing demand for high-quality housing solutions in connected, urban neighbourhoods.
Dass Rebar: Reinforcing Strength
A milestone of this scale would not have been possible without the contribution of Dass Rebar, a division of JDass Corp. For The Hawthorne, Dass Rebar supplied over 1,000 metric tons of MTO-approved Grade 400W rebar, ensuring structural strength and durability that meets the highest industry standards.
This reinforcing steel forms the backbone of the building’s concrete frame, providing the foundation for long-term performance and safety. Dass Rebar’s reliability, precision fabrication, and just-in-time delivery continue to make it a trusted partner for infrastructure and residential projects across Ontario.
Dass Metal: Building with Precision
Complementing the reinforcing steel, Dass Metal —also part of JDass Corp—supplied the project with engineered steel studs and framing systems. Designed for durability and precision, these products provided the structural accuracy required for walls, partitions, and interior framing at The Hawthorne.
With over 40 years of experience, Dass Metal continues to lead as a CSSBI-certified Canadian manufacturer, delivering quality steel products for residential and commercial construction across Ontario and the U.S.

Their expertise in managing large-scale residential developments was demonstrated with The Hawthorne, where they efficiently coordinated resources, managed timelines, and maintained project momentum.
