What may prove to be one of Toronto's most iconic new skyscrapers is gearing up to break into the midtown skyline.And it's about to make the jump from rendering to reality.
Brandon Donnelly, Managing Director of Development at Slate Asset Management — the company developing the new landmark — shared details of the project's construction progress in aDonnelly's blog states that"this past week we poured the first bit of concrete in the giant raft slab foundation that sits, or will sit, at the bottom of One Delisle."
Donnelly explains in his post that, at the deepest point below the tower's core, the raft slab will stand over four metres thick,"meaning the area occupied by the gentlemen in the above photo will be fully covered in concrete when it's complete."He notes that a photo of the massive undertaking"doesn't even do it justice," and that"you need to be on-site and down in the bottom of the hole to really feel it.
The project eschews the cookie-cutter aesthetic prevalent in Toronto condo design both inside and out, with the design team boasting that the modules'"angled, alternating geometry allows for variously sized and shaped floor plates, resulting in unique conditions within the living spaces."
