Ont Gov't building at 880 Bay, at Grosvenor St (ORC, 44s?, WZMH)

[interchange42]

Not this parcel, it was "27 Grosvenor St.' (I think they meant 77 Grosvenor, which is the old Ontario Archives Building) and 26 Grenville St. (the old coroner's building).

27 Grosvenor is the above ground parking garage of the former coroner's building, while 26 Grenville is the south-side podium of the former coroner's building, so assuming that the coroner's building itself will be renovated as government offices, that one building will become three sites (and yes, two of them should become affordable housing).

Phew! Bay street was getting dangerously close to having no surface parking lots.

"the project achieved a waste diversion rate of 95%."

Pretty schnazzy, but how does that stack up against the industry average I wonder.

So 95% is pretty good and I doubt one could ever recycle 100%.

I guess you have to also consider the increasing marginal costs as you surpass 90%.

Soil testers have been on site since last week. The site is empty now but it was an old Ontario provincial office building that was demolished a few years ago.

The site is being used as the construction staging site for the MacBlock renovations (for the next few years at least).

This project is mentioned as in "early planning stage" in Infrastructure Ontario's Spring 2020 market update. No details, the document simply says this about the list of projects the building is listed in:

" The government has also announced several projects that are early in the planning process. Details including delivery model, timing and scope are still being determined. "
