Milan Condo construction climbs to 5th floor

Photo update: Construction of the podium for The Milan Condominium has climbed to five floors, giving an early indication of how drastically the 37-storey tower will dominate the Yonge-Church-Davenport intersection once it’s finished.

Below are several photos I snapped while walking past the construction site on Thursday. Pictures from earlier in the summer and spring can be viewed in my August 12 2012 post and my May 9 2012 report.

… while construction continues to progress the fastest at the northeast corner, where the building already looms above the Yonge subway line

 

Closing the gap: Passersby will soon be able to watch construction activity at The Milan Condominium tower site in Yorkville without having to peer through a chainlink fence surrounding parts of the property that aren’t blocked by wood hoarding.

As of this past weekend, construction of the tower’s underground levels had climbed to just one meter below the sidewalk along Church Street at the site’s southeast corner, where rebar reinforced floor forms were ready for a concrete pour. As construction of the podium for the 37-storey tower starts to climb above grade, motorists and pedestrians on Church Street will get their first clear view of the building since work commenced in the summer of 2010.
