Not usually around here from what I've seen. The piles are typically just for installing wooden shoring so they can excavate without it caving in. The foundation itself is has been a raft-type design in most of the buildings I've seen in the area. Basically just a thick (1m+) reinforced concrete slab, which distributes the loads from the building. My understanding is that the bedrock is too deep here for that type of pile to be cost effective. I know friction piles are also a thing, not sure if the soil here is unsuitable as well.

Edit to add: Often the basement walls are eventually poured up against the pile wall/shoring, after putting waterproofing in between. The piles/shoring are left in the ground to rust/rot over time as far as I can tell.

Do we know how far down they have to dig here? I thought I remember there being some podium parking

I don't see any permits for the King St side of the project, so this must be happening as another phase if it is to happen at all?

In those previous pictures, the piles are very close to King Street.  Is the main tower not closer to Duke Street?

The second tower is roughly halfway between King St and Duke St. King St frontage is the four (?) story mid-rise building.

It would make sense to put the piles in now, even if the project were phased, no?

To add some clarity/confusion to this projects final height:

the foundation permit:
Permit No:19101248

Permit is for shoring, foundation for P2, under slab plumbing and site servicing for a future 24 storey residential building with retail on the ground floor. (See permit 19-112542 for balance of const


Permit No: 19112542
Permit is for balance of construction for a 25 storey residential building with shell retail suites on the ground floor. See permit 19-101248 for conditional foundation permit for P2, site servicing

RE: City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17 fl + 22 fl + 5 fl | U/C - tomh009 - 10-14-2019

The tower is 25, then, is it?

And, no permit for the four-storey building?

I think in the latest renders it's all one building, with one big podium from Duke to King. The separate building was planned as office, but I think they decided to change to residential and combine them.

RE: City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 4 fl | U/C - tomh009 - 10-14-2019

For sure, it's residential. OK, maybe it's a single building even if it looks like two.

When I walked by last week, I took a peek from Duke Street and it looked like the retaining wall was in and 1 floor deep on the King Street side. I think they are going to start the 4 storey building first.

They seem to be down one story along the King St side.
