The Development and Timeline
A six-storey residential rental building is being constructed by 1998-2000 Dewbourne Court GP Inc. at 1998-2000 Bathurst Street. The site is bounded by a private two-storey office building (2002 Bathurst Street) to the north, Bathurst Street to the east, an existing rental building, (1996 Bathurst Street owned by the same developer) to the south, and a public laneway to the west. The development, in its completed form, will consist of 54 dwelling units and a two-level underground parking garage for approximately 44 vehicles. Permanent vehicle access will be from the public laneway.
A detailed review of the construction schedule was undertaken by the developer to minimize the project duration and impacts of the construction on all road users. Based on the information provided by the developer, the entire site will be excavated lot line to lot line on all four sides to a depth of approximately 9 metres. The developer has advised that due to limited availability of space, all construction activities, including delivery and storage of construction materials, cannot be accommodated within the site.
Major construction activities and associated timelines for the development are described below:
• Demolition: April 2021 to June 2021
• Excavation and shoring: June 2021 to September 2021
• Below grade formwork: September 2021 to March 2022
• Above grade formwork: March 2022 to July 2022
• Building envelope: June 2022 to November 2022
• Interior finishes: June 2022 to January 2023
A construction staging area will be set up within the road right-of-way on the east side of the public laneway abutting the site for a period of 22 months.
