Some work happening to it.

To be fair, the footprint of this building is pretty small, and there wasn't a large podium to construct, or heritage component to work around either. But yes, it has gone up quick!

The podium section normally takes a few weeks per floor because the floor plates change, and requires alterations to the forms. Once they get to the tower section many of the floors have the same layout, so the same form is reused. That usually allows for a floor to be done about once per week.

There are no active permits, aside from the one for demolition. Allied is also financially challenged at the moment, so the answer is almost certainly no. The likely reason why the company is demolishing this building is because the city essentially ordered them to do it back in May.

The plumbing contractor for Canada House, according to this published certificate, appears to be 'Dependable Mechanical Systems Inc.' (which is a little ironic, if you ask me). https://canada.constructconnect.com/dcn/certificates-and-notices/4D672A4A-7140-4774-956F-BBACB143DE63 Concord issued...

The exposed ceilings are certainly ugly... But, the style is the exact same for the market rate units too. See for yourself: https://living.westbankcorp.com/property/mirvish-village

Don't give KingSett any ideas!

It's funny, these days you can pretty much tell that a building has the misfortune of being owned by Starlight based on its shoddy white-over-brick and black-over-balcony paint job. That said, their overall strategy is more 'renovate and raise rents' than 'tear down and re-develop'.
