Big basement: The excavation for Phase One of The Residences of Pier 27 is finished and the bottom underground level for the eastern half of the waterfront condo complex is quickly taking shape. Meanwhile, the excavation on the west side of the site (Phase Two) is roughly two-thirds complete and proceeding on schedule, according to an April 8 entry in a blog published by the condo developer, Cityzen Developments.
Below are two illustrations, from the project website, that suggest how The Residences of Pier 27 buildings — designed by Peter Clewes of Toronto’s architects Alliance — will look once completed. Also below are several more photos I shot of construction activity at the massive Pier 27 building site yesterday afternoon. Earlier construction photos can be viewed in my February 18 2011 post about The Residences of Pier 27 condo project.
From The Residences of Pier 27 project website, this illustration suggests how the condo development will appear on the Toronto waterfront.
Also from the project website, this illustration suggests how the condo complex will appear when viewed from Toronto harbour at dusk.
