North elevation update
South elevation update

During the week of November 21st 

    • No work will take place on Thursday, November 24. The site will return to normal work hours on Friday, November 25. 
    • Due to some unforeseen conditions that must be addressed before winter, some of the noisier work has progressed further into November than expected. The team is hoping to be off the exterior of occupied floors after next week. Any one-off activities that come up will continue to be communicated to the occupants affected.
    • Titan Roofing crew to be on site to install roofing and parapet cap at small roofs on the south elevation of floor 7 (see photo above for locations). The suite in proximity is suite 709.

      • Masons continue with masonry backup repairs on the level 8 façade, in preparation for brick rebuild. The 8th level is unoccupied.
      • There will be some miscellaneous cast stone pieces being replaced throughout the façade in various locations. These replacements tend to be quick and no longer than a day in each location. If in proximity to occupied rooms, work will be communicated ahead of time.
      • The team will continue on the last exterior corner rebuild, with brickwork starting this week and continuing into next week for completion. 10 of the 11 corners have been finished.
