Toronto Sugar Wharf Condominiums (Phase 2) | 283.6m | 85s | Menkes | a—A

Still working on it this morning.

I am wondering if they are bringing the site down to grade to begin case-ons edit: isn't there a street that runs through the center of the site could be prep work for that even

 

[Bibi L]

They might be working on Downes Street? Since it’s going right through the middle.

Crane count went from 359 on New Years Day to 313 today. That's a good indicator of recessed market. It'll be a great day for construction if even the shortest tower starts. All three is playing the lottery thinking you'll eventually win.

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

Yeah but if there is street work and stuff to be constructed on site it might be best to get the infrastructure underway while you wait for the market to return that way you don't have to spend a year and a half putting infrastructure in on a hot market

They might be working on Downes Street? Since it’s going right through the middle.

From my perspective it looks like they are working on the road.

 

[Amare]

One thing is for certain, they certainly arent working on Phase 2 of the Menkes development as they havent even launched sales.

It must be prep work for the road extension, which is odd because they've been in absolutely no rush over the past few months. They've had people work on it for a few days in a past and then all of a sudden it goes silent for another X amount of months.

 

[UrbanAffair]

Maybe the road has a required completion date as agreed with the city?

 

[rdaner]

So there is the east-west road and a park on the south portion. I wSonder if it is going to move ahead?

 

[Lenser]

In this market? It's kinda dodgy at the moment. Condo sales are in free fall, are they not? Even if this is a fairly attractive location.

They are probably going to move forward only when circumstances permit. Even so, I wish this pair of towers weren't so stodgy-looking.

 

[Bibi L]

From my perspective it looks like they are working on the road.

From my perspective as well, it does look like they are working on the road.
Taken today.
Digger is all the way to the east now.

 

[Amare]

Another insight i'll add to this which I find interesting is this; they didnt fully excavate the site when they were demolishing the old LCBO warehouse so in essence, some of the old foundation is still underneath where the road extension would run.

So if they dont plan on excavating the site again, that would be quite odd. I think that's going to be something to watch for.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

...as along as it holds everything in when they start excavating?

 

[Tuscani01]

Will be interesting when this site actually starts getting developed
PS. Kind of hope they redesign the towers a bit

keep dreaming

Actually, not dreaming

Just bringing these forward since people are still expecting construction to start any time soon here.

 

[Jeff Morgan]

Work is continuing today. The work is limited to the area of the new road.
