The Saint Reaches New Heights

The construction of The Saint is making significant strides across various fronts. At level 37, the structural framework is taking shape with the ongoing placement of rebar and concrete. This phase involves meticulous coordination of mechanical and electrical elements within the slabs and walls. 

Simultaneously, the building envelope is advancing steadily, with curtain wall panels installed up to level 24 and window wall installations reaching level 18. The construction hoist extension to level 31 signifies progress in vertical expansion. 

Internally, on level 15, corridor stud work is advancing, paralleled by suite stud developments on level 8, paving the way for forthcoming finishing trades. The garage elevator is slated for completion by year-end, with the focus shifting to the tower elevator in the subsequent phases of construction.

We’re delighted to conclude this year by reaching significant milestones at The Saint!

We've got some exciting news to share about our progress on the building. Here's the scoop:

Level 16 Update

We're in full swing, laying rebar and pouring concrete like there's no tomorrow! The structure is shaping up nicely, and we're making sure everything is perfect. Plus, we're coordinating all the mechanical and electrical work to be started soon.

Window Wonderland

The windows for the entire building are ready to go. No delays, hooray! We're delivering them to the site and installing them as the concrete keeps climbing. We're currently at level 7.

Elevating to New Heights

Our construction hoist is doing some heavy lifting, bringing both material and manpower up to level 9. We've got the hustle going on, and soon we'll be extending it all the way up to level 13. The sky's the limit, quite literally!

Parking Garage Pizzazz

The parking garage has received a fresh coat of paint, making it look snazzy and ready to welcome your vehicles. Safety and style, all in one place!

Drywall Delight

Our drywall contractor is on-site, working their magic. They're busy laying out suites and corridors up to level 5. It's like a puzzle, and they're putting all the pieces together flawlessly. Once they're done, the finishing trades will come in and add that extra shine.

Stay tuned for more exciting progress as we bring this magnificent project to life. We appreciate your support and can't wait to unveil the finished masterpiece.

The Downtown Toronto core is growing, and The Saint is at the center of it. 

Construction continues to progress with formwork now completed on level 9! Our construction hoist is installed and ready for our first window installation. The structural stud and metal team is working their way up the building and below ground the interior walls are being installed.

The behind-the-scenes team including, plumbing, electrical, sprinkler and HVAC is working hard on finalizing plans to start work after formwork is completed. 

It won’t take long before you will begin to see The Saint tower rise up from the site!

Minto Communities GTA's new condo tower at Church and Lombard streets in Downtown Toronto is gearing up for the next step in its construction. Having bottomed out six levels deep earlier this month, the pit is being readied for crane installation. A square notch has been carved out of the base of the pit and filled with rebar, and a photo captured this past weekend shows a concrete pump positioned at the street-level edge of the pit with its boom extended, filling the notch and rebar cage with concrete to form the footing for the tower crane.

Construction continues to progress at The Saint site, as our team has worked into the New Year and looks ahead at what is to come. 

Following the completion of site preparation by our excavation contractor, the shoring trade mobilized to site at the end of October and began the process of splicing the piles. Drilling of piles started on November 12th and was completed just before December 25th. 

Our excavation contractor has remobilized to site at the end of December and the excavation work has been ongoing since January 4th.

The excavation and shoring work will continue until early July 2021 where the formwork contractor would mobilize to site for the erecting the tower crane and start of Formwork.

The Saint celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking event this past month. While construction hasn’t officially begun, there’s been a lot of site preparation underway. The demolition is still ongoing at the site and with a scheduled demobilization at the beginning of October. The actual construction will start shortly thereafter depending on site conditions. This will precede approximately two weeks of work in between the excavation contractor preparing the site and building platforms for the drill rigs and the shoring contractor splicing the piles. Once that’s completed, the drilling process will begin. There’s lots to look out for in the future, be sure to follow along!
