If this was posted before I missed it... but a nice rendering of the Phase 2 portion of the overbuild park (winter = ice skating, summer = music etc.).

CIBC SQUARE Construction Update

141 Bay Street

Construction at 141 Bay Street continues following the labour action disruptions in the month of May and the remobilization of forces in June. Excavation will be complete on the eastern half of the site for the end of July. Footings, columns, underground mechanical, and slab-on-grade work are progressing across the P3 and P5 areas of the project. Preparation for the foundation of the final tower crane near Yonge Street will be commencing with erection targeted for the end of the summer. The forming of the Tower core walls has progressed to Level 3. The next step in the superstructure is the placement of twelve large, structural steel nodes atop the Level 3 core wall starting at the end of July.

On the east side of the site, the overburden from the existing viaduct has been removed. The reinforcement of the existing viaduct is underway within the centre median of Yonge Street under the railway overpass. This work continues during extended daytime hours with partial lane closures and is targeted for completion in mid-August.

On the west side of the site, enabling works for the foundation of the bridge between 141 Bay and Union Station are targeted to start in August.

Overbuild Park

Crews have finished installation of structural steel & steel deck for the current phase of the Overbuild Park. The concrete topping work is being scheduled. To ensure safety, this work will take place overnight as it requires access to the active Metrolinx rail corridor – no construction personnel are permitted to work in the rail corridor when trains are in operation.

Thank goodness CIBC changed their logo. Their old logo would have looked terrible plastered on multiple sides of this building.

Happy to see this finally rise above ground level.

The logo and word mark are way too small for me. I can barely read it even from a couple of blocks away. Same for Two Bloor West. I don't have this issue with any other corporate logo on the skyline.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of the construction progress. Given the large footprint of the site, how long does it take to complete each level (2-3 months for the underground level and a month for each floor in the main tower) ? Curious to see how the ramp is taking shape to the parking garage on the east side.

Underground and the first few levels above ground always take longest to build as they are normally not standard. Once they reach standard floors things usually move quite fast as they can reuse the formwork. Of course the speed will depend on how many workers they have and the size but the CIBC site is quite small and they seem keen to get it finished and bring in rent. I would suspect they will build a standard floor in a week or 10 days but I guess we will see. (Unlike residential construction, there are often quite major late penalties for commercial so ...)
