BM Windows, a major Vietnamese façade contractor, has wrapped up work on the final panel of the One Bloor West project (previously known as The One Toronto). The project marks an important milestone as the company extends its footprint in high-rise markets such as North America and Australia.

First supertall project in Canada completed ahead of schedule

After nearly two years of involvement, BM Windows recently completed the final panel for One Bloor West, Canada’s first building to exceed 300 meters in height with 85 floors. The early delivery of production, while adhering to technical specifications and investor expectations, reflects a growing capability to handle large-scale, technically demanding international projects.

The project’s investor awarded BM Windows a quality certificate, recognizing the company’s performance. As the supplier and manufacturer of the façade system, BM Windows was commended for its technical proficiency, streamlined processes, and adherence to international standards.

Navigating stringent technical demands

With 6,720 façade panels produced and installed, One Bloor West ranks among the most technically complex projects BM Windows has taken on. Designed by Foster + Partners, the building incorporates advanced requirements for wind resistance, climate resilience, and structural precision based on ASTM International standards.

BM Windows took on full responsibility for manufacturing and supplying the façade system for this project. In this role, the company was accountable for material quality and scheduling, and played a direct part in bringing the complex technical design standards to life. Their end-to-end involvement, from technical design and fabrication to installation, demonstrates the comprehensive capabilities of a Vietnamese contractor within the global supply chain for supertall buildings. This solid foundation has earned BM Windows continued trust on many other highly complex international projects.

“As of now, BM Windows’ technology and technical expertise have fully met the most complex project requirements worldwide. We confidently deliver façade solutions that conquer the highest challenges in design, technical standards, and quality in the most demanding markets globally,” shared Mr. Tran Van Tien, CEO of BM Windows.

The Sydney follow-up: 55 Pitt Street

Following its work on One Bloor West, BM Windows has been selected to contribute to the 55 Pitt Street project in central Sydney. Positioned in the city’s financial district, the 55-storey tower, rising to 238.1 meters, is designed by SHoP Architects in collaboration with Woods Bagot and Prism Facades.

The development aims to meet leading sustainability certifications, including NABERS Energy, WELL Core & Shell Platinum, and 6-Star Green Star.

In its role as façade design supplier, BM Windows has been involved in the research and development of technical solutions from the very beginning. BM Windows’ international experts, together with their engineering team, traveled to Australia to work closely with the investor and design units to fully understand local requirements, technical standards, and the characteristics of the native climate. From there, they proposed optimal solutions that ensure technical efficiency, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Growth across markets

Back in Vietnam, BM Windows is working on several prominent developments, including the Skylight glass dome at the heart of Long Thanh International Airport. Covering over 11,000 sq m and composed of more than 5,400 non-uniform shaped triangular panels, this is considered one of the most technically challenging components of the airport, slated for completion by late 2025.

The company is also contributing to other major domestic projects such as The Marc 88, Lumi Hanoi, Lotus HCM, and OSI Tower.

The participation and successful completion of high-tech engineering packages in landmark projects across North America and Australia by a Vietnamese company like BM Windows is a positive signal, not only for the construction sector but also for the broader domestic industrial manufacturing value chain. As global markets increasingly impose stricter requirements on technical standards, timelines, and environmental compliance, BM Windows’ presence in projects such as One Bloor West and 55 Pitt Street marks a significant advancement in both execution strength and adaptability for Vietnamese enterprises.
