This heritage project is still in the early stages and will be entering the pre-validation phase. Inspired by our Barrie-Simcoe First Responders Campus, the owners from the Katalyst Real Estate Corporation are interested in pursuing Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and lean construction methods for the condominium.
Our team has been in constant contact with the City of Toronto in order to stay in line with its heritage property recommendations and policies. And, since a section of the condo complex would be built around one of three remaining carriage houses in Ontario, there are many details to consider prior to construction and a meticulous process to follow to ensure accurate preservation. Chandos engaged with a historical consultant to investigate the building’s heritage and the impact it had on the area. We also worked with the architect to look at the future designs and align them with the existing structure. And, we collaborated with a structural engineer to investigate the best and most effective options that would keep the building intact.
