That’s a clean and organized looking pit! Btw, how are they gonna dig the 2nd pit if the 4th side is not shored up on the 1st pit? Leave it open and do 1 large double pit while the first tower rises?

^ If I'm following you correctly, won't the 4th side (south) then be moved & shored on 100ave & the north side taken care of by the soon(ish) to be finished parkade?

I suppose but then they’d be digging and shoring 2 separate pits with 1 foot in between them? Why waste all that time, money and material and not just do 1 large pit? I’m not a pit guy, but doesn’t that make sense?

They will form a wall for tower 1 near the middle of the site that will rise with the parkade and have phase 2's north parkade wall abut it.

Cost/cash flow, logistics and lay down space where phase 2 is and the fact that these will often be separately tendered, titled and very much two separate projects even though they by one developer.

Look back at how they phased and built the parkades for Fox 1 and 2. I imagine this will be a similar process.

Falcon Tower One | Arc Studio
Falcon One will be the first high-rise residential tower to connect the 104th Street Promenade to the river valley. The vision for this site was to create rich architecture that brings a mix of housing and commercial retail south of Jasper Avenue.

Very pleased to see that the laneway is going to get upgraded/repaved as well with this project.
How this is not required by the developer as an offsite levy is beyond me.
Remember how new residents moving into the ICON I and II (and Century) had to pay to improve their 2/10 quality laneway?
Same thing with Symphony Tower.
Augustana repaved a portion of their laneway.
This should be part of the DP and a requirement by the COE to then complete the remainder should it require upgrading as well.
I recall speaking with a planner about this and their comment was that laneways are not heavily used and this was not required...

the more costs you tack on to projects, the less of them will sprout
