Look for shoring to start on Monday.

WHY do they need to change colours halfway up? What does it accomplish other than making it look tacky? Just take the dark brick all the way to the top. Also, these look like chunky floor plates.

Claridge doing Claridge things.

I think it depends on the project. Tamarack and Tartan are more suburban, tract housing builders. I'm sure the two construction arms are more specialized in certain types of projects as well.

You should be looking at Taggart Realty's website for their development arm of companies. https://www.taggart.ca/ Taggart Construction, Doran Construction, Tamarack Homes, Taggart Realty, and Tartan are all part of the Taggart Group of Companies. I don't think we should underestimate what they...

FYI it looks like there is an elevation mock-up on site approx here. I can only see the back of it from Albert but @hoggytime wondering if you get the drone in the right place if you could get a glimpse of some cladding?

Instead of using piles to reach down to bedrock, it was decided to dig all the way to bedrock (which is deeper than P2). So I actually think the dig will take a while unfortunately.

Well I hope no one actually believes that there is going to be a Jeff Koon's sculpture in the public realm here.

Where is this taken from? Pretty funny sight.

Liking this project more and more. It's nothing special but it's so much better than its neighbour across the street. The streetscape on this project is also much more interesting. There are some zig-zagging windows at grade.

Man.. Little Italy is such a contrast in built form. Can't wait for it to fill in a bit.
