This is probably a post for 1 Front but it does impact adjacent CIBC phase 2 walls underground.
From what I gathered;
In the current 1 Front St site plan application architectural drawings and the submitted heritage documents, it looks like they would most likely support the outside walls from the exterior, a complete gutting and then digging down 3 levels for parking for a portion of the foot print but I could be wrong.
It will be interesting how they complete the demolition, excavate in the tight space after CIBC square phase 2 underground work is built,
how they shore up the walls both above and below ground and
how they access the interior core while protecting the facade.
The “ground level” Long Room will be protected/untouched and a similar structural support to The One (Bloor W) 5th floor structural transfer floor will support the tower above this Long Room “heritage” space. No under ground parking below the Long Room in the East corner of the property. That should be some interesting work to watch if and when approved.
