RE: Icon 330 - BuildingScout - 11-24-2014
Speaking of inertia in construction practices ICF makes a lot of sense for the Canadian winter, yet its use seems to have taken off only rather recently, say the last two decades or so, in spite of the technology being over 60 years old.

A tower crane has been erected at the site which is great to see!!

I think there will be a delay in this project. The original plan was to get the condos 100% ready for occupation on September 1st, 2015.

It depends, at regular construction rates 9 months should be enough to finish a tower in this project. Look at the progress made in 256 Phillip St. in six months.
However at current Waterloo construction rates this will be finished in two years.

It depends what method they're using to construct it too. Forms take longer than the lego blocks.

This one will be constructed with pre-made "lego blocks".

The foundation for the northerly-most building, "Tower 2", is now up to grade.
RE: Icon 330 - Markster - 01-15-2015
There are concrete columns being poured above grade!

Well, the project has been delayed. New Completion date sent is Sep, 2016.
RE: Icon 330 - Spokes - 01-26-2015
What was the original projected completion date? This one seems accurate.
RE: Icon 330 - javeed - 01-26-2015
Original date was Sep, 2015.
RE: Icon 330 - Spokes - 01-27-2015
Which was probably over-optimistic to begin with.
RE: Icon 330 - javeed - 01-27-2015
Well, I am one of the buyer and this is the initial date on Sale/Purchase Contracts...
We have recently received message about this delay.
RE: Icon 330 - Spokes - 01-27-2015
I don't doubt it was on the sales/purchase contracts, but developers always promise dates that can't be met. This occupancy this September was always overly optimistic don't you think?
RE: Icon 330 - javeed - 01-27-2015
I agree with you... We hope they can make it till Next Sept 2016.
