Thanks @rdaner ! Our slow reveal of the ongoing and painstaking reproduction of the Canada Malting silos signage continues. We arranged an inspection today from the rooftop of the neighbouring Arcadia Co-op building (2nd photo below) just to make sure it was reading properly when viewed from a...

Sharing a first look at the now completed restoration of the ‘Canada Malting Co’ signage. Seen here is the west elevation, plus a ‘before’ shot for comparison, and an archives photo from Maple Leaf Stadium (now Little Norway Park). Both sides will be revealed over the winter months as...

From Thursday: our first concrete pour for the new park, Bathurst Quay Common. With removals nearly complete and this base now in place, the pace of park construction will visibly pick up. Form work for structural footings will start to be erected next week on top of this slab. Also by the end...

Courage and leadership personified. Thank you, Walter Kehm.

Great pics! That’s the perimeter outline for the park’s ‘sun deck’ - a large terrace being built with sustainably sourced thermal ash, and which will be filled with moveable furniture. The very first concrete pour is actually scheduled for this week. We’re starting with pouring a mud slab base...

Sorry to have missed you! Lots of enthusiasm and great ideas shared at the pop-up booth.

From last night’s set-up for Nuit Blanche tonight (Saturday, Sep 23).

With the finish line in sight (Fall 2024) for the silo property’s revitalization, our team has today launched the project web page for the next chapter in Bathurst Quay’s revitalization: Spadina Pier. We’ll be hosting a pop-up consultation event on the pier this Saturday night (7pm-midnight)...

Excellent shots! Nice to see the silos stand out so prominently as part of a new tourism campaign released this week. Screen capture below from the video.

Link to an article published today in the Daily Commercial News on the start of construction for ‘Bathurst Quay Common’. https://canada.constructconnect.com/dcn/news/projects/2023/08/bathurst-quay-common-brews-new-plan-for-historic-canada-malting-co-property Also, for interest, here’s a close...

Absolutely agreed. In particular, at the southern terminus of the pier, which will naturally be the anchor of this space. It’s really the northern half of P1 that houses the vaults, and we definitely don’t need the whole footprint for storing mulch, etc. So this is definitely an option we’re...

This is precisely the investigative work and strategizing we’re doing right now, so I’ll have to come back to you in a few months with more precise details! But I can tell you that our emerging approach at this stage, below grade, is to potentially fill P2 with clean shale sourced from...

Two levels, in fact. 300 spaces. Managed by Harbourfront Centre since it was built in the 1980’s. But the entire P2 level has been closed since flooding damage from high lake levels. And a recent condition assessment estimated the cost of a needed SOGR overhaul at up to $20M to keep the parking...

Shifting focus slightly east to planning work actively underway at Spadina Pier: An important milestone this week as local stakeholders were advised of the permanent closure of the derelict parking garage beneath this property. While our July 2022 City Council-approved work plan for this site...

Our Conservation Plan, developed with ERA Architects, landed on this ‘interim’, marine-grade plywood treatment for the windows. The focus of this rehab strategy is about 80% on completing critically needed exterior repairs, and about 20% on enabling investments that help set the stage for future...

Sharing some photo updates below. From the top: Courtesy of the Waterfront BIA, a shot of last week’s well-attended ground breaking ceremony for Bathurst Quay Common. Fresh from completing the remarkable Love Park just down the street, Somerville Construction is starting to get set up on...

Exactly right. We intend to launch a RFP process for the rooftop ‘head houses’ late next year. The strategy has also been to wait until the site’s revitalization is nearer to completion so that a) we can leverage this $50M investment to find the right partner; but also b) so that the silo RFP...

Hey, maybe you were at this “rowdy” meeting!? 😂 https://www.mississauga.com/news/erin-mills-residents-get-rowdy-with-daniels-corporation/article_5a9fa17f-8eb1-5208-be29-215b2323f1c6.html
