Just for fun and in about 5 min on my iPhone. A 57 storey photoshopped to the Ziggys site. (Some Toronto proposal I forget which one) tried to make it somewhat to scale 180-185m

I will buy the penthouse. Just waiting for the OLG to come through.

May be time to update the thread title from Proposed to Under Construction.

We've had this discussion before, but somebody would have to walk me through how an investor could come out ahead by buying a unit(s) in this building in the present conditions.

I am also surprised any work is being done here… I can’t imagine they sold many units at all.

I saw a report from staff documents saying it sold out and sold out fast. I think they lucked out with their timing and investors got unlucky by paying those ridiculous prices before the down swing

Shame nothing this good will come to Kitchener anytime soon.

They must have sold enough to get financing for the project.

Funny story about Drewlo: On Strasburg Rd where you have those two apartments going up, both builds started at the same time. The one apartment topped out at 9 floors. The other building, Drewlo, is still on the 1st floor. Drewlo is slow. Thankfully, TEK isn't Drewlo, otherwise it would probably take 30 years to complete.
This should be under 2 years to top out baring any set backs. 6-8 months to dig and reach grade. (Not much underground parking so they don’t have to go too deep) and a year to top out (roughly 1 floor per week average) DTK was 26 months I think from shoring to top out and that includes the Covid work stoppage. But maybe I’m too optimistic

But maybe I’m too optimistic DTK started pilings in January 2019 (you can find it all in the thread!) and I think topped out about a year ago so roughly 33 months. I personally see topping out in 2024 as super optimistic.

Yeah highly unlikely this takes two years. Plus they have a few other projects in the pipeline. If they start their other two (or even just one) skyscrapers then it might take as long as they say.
