Is the art installation on the north-east corner of yonge and bloor ever gonna happen? They ripped up the paving and then nothing.

Looks to me that the north-east corner is at bottom?

Looks to me that the north-east corner is at bottom?

Looks to me too, but why would they need another round of tiebacks if that was the case? I don't recall tiebacks on the bottom levels in other projects.

For a building this height wouldn't they have to dig deeper ? Does anyone know how many floors below grade they have to go ?

 

[tstormers]

I believe it was 4 levels of underground...

Is there a way to search specific forum threads instead of the whole bank under say buildings? i might be blind.

 

[raptor]

I think there will be 5 underground floor in total (4 parking levels + concourse level). Besides, from the Arch Plans document, level P4 will have its north-eastern corner unexcavated:

I think it’s fantastic that this project has been moving along but I also can’t help but wonder what will become of this tower when a third of the units, all higher end, are still unsold. To be best of my recollection, there has been next to no sales of the units that remain in the past few months. Has to be a cause of concern for the team.
