Oh, that could be, and would make sense! I've only seen the brace in pictures and it didn't look as steep as I'd expected

Do you think the braces for the residential floors (supporting 6 floors instead of 3 floors) will be thicker?

Doubt it , honestly it is not much weight... Steel is really strong in tension... Look how thin the steel rope on a crane is....

The diagonal braces will maintain a consistent angle and height spanning six ‘typical’ levels. The first set we are seeing span levels 3 to 5, which are all double-height. The next set of diagonal braces will span levels 6 to 10, with level 6 being double-height and levels 7-10 having typical floor-to-ceiling heights. The third set will span levels 11-16.

Walls for level 6 are currently being formed and will have hotel and amenity rooms. Levels 7 to 16 will be the hotel suites. Levels 17-18 are mechanical levels. Residential levels begin on the 19th.

Now that I look at the rendering again, the diagonals are quite a bit more slender than the supercolumns, so I guess the steelwork in place is in fact permanent.

Interesting platform/decking on the Bloor Street side between the super columns - mezzanine of some kind?

Did someone says MEZZANINE?

New user; mezzanine... MetroMan back for a second shot?

 

[marcus_a_j]

Nope, not that mezzanine (or user). Just curious what might be happening on that side of the sixth floor...

The architectural plans show a small mezzanine on the sixth level but it's on the Yonge side beside the hotel elevators.

there is no mezzanine on the 6th floor. the doka platforms between the mega columns are a climbing wall system (climbs with the building as it goes up) and are just there for extra storage space / more space for workers.

So has this changed? This is from the latest arch. plans submitted for the current ZBA application.

I can see that on the Yonge side, this looks different. Time will tell…

To mezzanine or not to mezzanine, that is the question...
