New community update. Second crane coming this weekend!
Dear Neighbours,
Below is a brief update on the CIBC SQUARE project:
Construction at 141 Bay Street:
We continue to make significant progress in constructing the foundation for the new building at 141 Bay Street. On the west portion of the site we started pouring the concrete for the early logistics slab, an element of the project which is required to keep construction & staging logistics within the confines of the construction site. A tower crane will also be erected in this area over the coming weekend. In the central area of the site, we have reached the P3 founding elevation and will shortly commence excavation of the building footings. On the east portion of the site, bulk excavation of bedrock & the drilling of tiebacks continues. As the excavation continues, there will be an increased amount of jackhammering and truck traffic over the next several months.
The preparation of the site’s connection to storm sewers under Yonge Street is being coordinated with the City of Toronto. This will involve work within the public right-of-way on Yonge Street. Once the City’s plan is finalized, our neighbours can expect lane closures on Yonge Street. Further updates will be provided.
Overbuild Park
The next phase of the structural steel work at the overbuild park is expected to start in late October or early November 2021. This work will continue to take place overnight as it will require access to the active rail corridor. For safety, construction personnel and equipment are not permitted while trains are running on the tracks, requiring work to proceed overnight when trains are not in operation. Our team will share more details as the schedule for this work is confirmed.
When are we working?
The following regular working hours are expected at CIBC SQUARE:
7AM - 7PM Monday to Friday: Regular working hours at 141 Bay Street
11PM - 5AM Monday to Saturday: Overnight work in the rail corridor for the park overbuild
9AM - 7PM Saturday: Regular working hours at 141 Bay Street
We thank you in advance for your patience during this phase of construction. For any questions or comments, please email us at community@CIBCSQUARE.com.
