Do cranes need feeding?

^It's looking ... concrete and formy...

This is one of the few Toronto projects that truly excites me--can't wait to see the cladding go on--sometime late this Fall?

Now topped out, can't wait to see the cladding.

Does anyone know how many units and their sizes will comprise this building?

The old link didn't work so I did a search and answered my own question:

60 Richmond Street East

Located just west of Church Street in the east downtown, 60 Richmond will be a mix of residential and commercial use. The 11-storey building will have 85 units of housing in the upper floors and approximately 3,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor.

The building will contain one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units - 59 of them designated as Regent Park replacement housing and the remainder as affordable rental.

Demolition has started and occupancy is scheduled for end 2008. Teeple Architects has been retained to design the new building.

The project is being designed to LEEDTM standards.

JanneClaude, you really had to dig to find this one, last post being 3 months old. Nice work finding the pics.

Excellent pictures of an amazing building. I'm excited to see it finished!

Agreed - this is one very welcome addition to the downtown core! A refreshing design.

From yesterday:

Cladding?

This is going to be incredible if quality materials are used.

Another great looking TCHC Building - it makes me quite excited to see such good design and I have high hopes for what they will do with their 2 (or 3?) buildings at the Bathurst/Front end of City Place.

Who knows, TCHC may put CityPlace to shame.

I'd imagine they would.
