A Milestone at The Hawthorne
On Friday, September 12th, Dass Rebar had the privilege of joining developers, contractors, and partners at 799 Sheppard Ave W to celebrate a major milestone — the “Top Off” event marking the completion of the concrete frame at The Hawthorne Residences. This modern development, led by GCL Builds and Pinemount Developments Ltd., represents a blend of architectural excellence and structural strength. At the heart of it lies over 1,000 metric tons of Grade 400W rebar supplied by Dass Rebar, fabricated and delivered with precision to meet the highest standards of construction in Ontario.
The Hawthorne Residences
The Hawthorne Residences is a premier housing project in Toronto designed to offer modern living in the heart of the city. With spacious layouts, luxury amenities, and a focus on community design, it reflects the demand for urban residential developments in Ontario. The completion of the concrete frame marks an important step in ensuring the project remains on schedule and structurally sound.

Dass Rebar’s Contribution
Dass Rebar supplied over 1,000 metric tons of Grade 400W reinforcing steel for The Hawthorne. From fabrication to delivery, every bar was supervised, verified, and produced to meet strict industry standards. Our reinforcing steel products are engineered to withstand Ontario’s diverse climate and construction requirements, ensuring long-term durability for residential, commercial, and public infrastructure.
By collaborating closely with GCL Builds and Pinemount Developments Ltd., our team ensured the reinforcing steel arrived on time and ready for installation, allowing the project to progress smoothly.
MTO Approved – Certified Quality
Dass Rebar is officially approved by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) and listed on the Designated Sources for Materials (DSM). This approval confirms our commitment to fabricating reinforcing steel that complies with provincial standards, giving contractors, developers, and engineers the confidence that every bar meets certified quality requirements.
This milestone at The Hawthorne demonstrates why MTO approval matters — large-scale projects require not only volume but also tested and certified quality that stands up to inspection and performance standards.
