I'm not sure if there is any project in the GTA that they don't rush to try and get done, there can be many incentives for completing projects on or before schedule

They make a curved plywood bulkhead by "kerfing" the plywood and attaching it to a prefabricated steel form with metal screws. This is used for each floor and they just shift this closer and further to the corners of the building based on the slab edge drawing. Build once and reuse :) This...

The speed of this one will depend how many crews they get building this site as the size of the project is quite large, and the lower levels of both buildings J & K are quite complicated with thick transfer slabs, beams etc.. (the site footprint of this project is around 107,000 ft2 at the...

Can we have the title of this forum revised to "15s + 12s" As the development has 15 stories Building J and 12 stories Building K? Thank you :)

They are building both towers at the same time (building on the West side of the site being the Hotel with condos above & the building on the south East side being a Condo and also the 6 level Parking structure in the north east corner of the site) this site should start rising quick as it is...

I'm curious now how they are going to gain access to the post tension tendons when they need to perform the next stage of post tensioning on the beams with the scaffolding removed, maybe a scissor lift? Or rebuild a simple platform later when its required? But I am much more curious as to how...

Would this not allow things to fall off balconies through the gap between the slab and the glass with a bracket that sticks so far out?

I believe that is the 18th Floor being set up with rebar? am I correct?

No problem, I too am looking forward the how the colonnade and the "table" like shape will look once the scaffolding is completely removed and you see just the concrete structure. Also how this will look in contrast to the queen/richmond which also has a sort of suspended look with the tall "X"...

The scaffold is no longer supporting any of the concrete load, the large beams (11 feet deep +/-) and the transfer slabs (7 feet deep +/-) are post tensioned beams and slabs and are taking all the load of the tower above. (you can actually see the post tensioning tendons hanging out of the...

Really????, more of this about how the developers are soooooo great... sustainable, environmentally friendy....... and how this is the "king" of all projects all because of an lcbo and metro? this project features low ceiling heights, small suites, cheap looking glass, and a much smaller curve...

On the curved side of the building the last concrete slab has been poured. It would require very deep beams to have the next floor out of concrete since the distance each slab steps out goes up exponentially, the last concrete slab is already stepping out over 4' beyond the slab and walls below...

Can't be certain of exactly how long it will take, but mechanical and roof floors take longer due to concrete beams, sloped slabs to drain etc..., and typically need to be picked up with Scaffold/shoring frames and aluminum beams instead of the truss/flyers used on the typical floors. Your...

Thanks for the updates sunnyraytoronto, it will be interesting to see the spine with all the glass installed to see how the full curve looks finished.

They are in the mechanical floors and soon will be setting up the roof slab (original photo by interchange42)

I believe they have to insert a "sponge" into the end of the line at the top and back pump to relieve pressure, they then put water in the hopper at ground level and forward pump to the max. so the water clears the lines. Not sure the specifics but some of the concrete pump companies have some...

I just looked at another set and cliffy is correct, openings have been added to all floors for the High lift elevators.

There are a total of 6 elevators, 3 high lift (upper floors - above 37th) 3 low lift (37th floor and down) Low lift 3 elevators service about 450 units High lift 3 elevators service about 350 units (total residential units about 800)

Nope not bored yet, being involved in the formwork/shoring side of things its nice seeing the truss tables, wallforms, and slabs from the top where you can see what's going on. very soon we should be seeing the installation of the concrete pump in the east elevator core beside the stairs...

No problem, thanks for all the great photos.
