I walked by the site yesterday and they appeared to be removing the foundations of the former parking garage but nothing more and part of the site appears to already have been backfilled up to street level. HOWEVER, they now have aConditional Shoring Permit so I guess they are preparing to shore! (The Building permit itself is still "Under Review"

I am really looking forward to this development. Its black cladding will contrast nicely with the sea of blue (and aqua green) towers in that area of downtown.

Plus, having a nice building at such a prominent location next to the Gardiner and facing the Simcoe off ramp will add a lot of vibrancy I hope.

Will the new building be set back a bit more from Harbour Street? There is a rather odd bend in the street between York and Simcoe

It appears in the renders that Q Tower will be set back a bit more from Harbour to allow for separate bike lane and sidewalk, as opposed to the joint bike/walk path as is the case currently. Also, the render shows how the building will curve to mimic Harbour Street's bend.

Hey fellas,

I know this is not related to Q Tower, but this seems very active, does anyone know what is going on with the Elektra project by Menkes? They launched in 2022 and 2025 is finishing up and no sign of any construction let alone demolition of the existing building.

You have asked this question in several (unrelated) threads and on the Elektra thread itself (several times). SEE: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-giannone-petricone.30873/page-8#post-2270730

I assume you are anxious about your purchase but if someone here had an answer I am sure you would have heard something. Sometimes silence IS an answer.

Quit the back and forth, I should not be getting notified about other projects for watching this thread.

Stay on topic. Read the thread subject and previous postings carefully before replying to a topic. There is some room to move around in a thread but keep it to a minimum. We want to have a forum that provides knowledge to its members rather than a soapbox for people who just want to add to their post counts. We will warn you if we think you’re posting too often about nothing. Don’t take it personally. We just want the content to stay strong.

Construction Staging Report for this one goes to the next meeting of TEYCC, outlining a prospective timeline.

Lane restrictions on this section of Harbour should probably just be a flat 'no' .................I'm fascinated by the City's willingness to allow use of its property (the ROW) for construction in circumstances that are clearly adverse.
