Pilot does well with smaller footage and takeout vs. Dark Horse who seem to go for the full sit-down vibe. See Pilot’s shops at Bay/Bloor Manulife Centre and Union Station.

If the contract agreement was for 92 mills where did the 83 mill claim come from?

This CBC article seems to suggest the contractors have a pretty slim chance of winning this, though I'm not qualified to say if that's accurate or not.
The $83m claim does seem crazy high, though -- it's basically two thirds of the entire final $128m project cost, after numerous overruns.

The amounts claimed in statements of claim are often far more than what will be recovered for a variety of reasons. Having to amend the statement of claim down the line if the lawyer’s client decides to claim more will, at best, slow the litigation down and cost the client money.
At worst, the opponent will oppose it, resulting in a contentious and costly hearing to decide the issue. As such, the common practice is for lawyers to claim the maximum that their client could, in theory, recover versus the realistic amount.

Keeping up with tradition for St.Lawrence Market North on a late start but by those standards, starting 2 years late is absolutely early in this context. Thanks for the pics

View from King street over the fence:
Should there be a separate Market Lane Park thread? Since St Lawrence Market north is completed.

I was originally worried that there was no tree protection zone setup around any of the trees, but it seems that for projects like this they only do that after they scrape off all the stone/concrete at the surface

Just to be sure. There’s a walkable lane right along the west side of the Hall right?
The city is seemingly committed to making the entirety of St Lawrence market inaccessible to bike share, so I typically rack up on King St and walk down the park.

I think putting the park stuff here is easiest. Though some projects do need separate threads, this is really a small (though important) project and very connected to the adjacent Market building.

Not at the moment, I think one may be set up once the concrete scraping phase is over. Currently the way is totally blocked (with the 'ese' of a tiny - but eventually blocked - walkway beside the Missioni Sky sales store windows.

Yes. According to the city timeline, commencing construction in Spring 2026, this will be complete by Fall 2026. A new thread won’t be necessary (famous last words).
