Residential Projects

Project Description

Loft-inspired condominium residence with 5 stories, 77 units. Complexity wise the site was tight with a narrow laneway in the back on a busy street with a heritage church to the South. Demolition, Shoring, and excavation works were complicated as one of the existing building was a funeral home, although not heritage. The laneway to the east had to be maintained while construction was ongoing as it was accessed from one side only for the parking of the neighboring residents who had to pass along our site.

Project Description

Construction consists of an 18-Storey residential with 132 units (plus ground floor retail with 7 units) with an above-grade gross construction area of approximately 129,700 sq.ft. Four levels of below-grade parking, 57 parking units with a gross constructed area of approximately 27,000 sq.ft.

Part of the work included shoring at the property line and adjacent to 10 storey existing building as well as high traffic area on a corner of the site two heritage walls were saved by shoring them from outside using timber A-frame structure. The below-grade shoring included mainly caissons 2 & 3 rows of tiebacks on each wall and some walers. Shoring heights were approximately 12 m and reached bedrock at the bottom. To access the parking levels below P1, car freight elevators were installed.
