One Young (née Mayfair Hotel) | 5 fl | Complete

I wonder how this will look and if they are going by the render that was posted back in 2018 (post #312 in this thread)

I do not have any pictures of the render but I visited Walter Fedy a few months ago (I'm an aspiring architect) and quite liked what I saw for their render of this project.

I do believe it was quite similar to the render seen earlier in the thread, however I dont the know if it was the same. It also seemed like a rather fluid process and that what they had on the wall at the time was not necessarily final.

Now on the second floor.

Interesting project.

Second-floor floorplate is now in place. Structural lumber construction is moving along quite quickly.

Random question - does the Young St side of the building match the old Mayfair, or is it pulled back slightly to create more sidewalk space?

It's right up against the sidewalk.

That sidewalk looks wider than the original narrow one, though -- and wider than the sidewalk next to City Centre.

I don't think they have poured any new sidewalks there since before construction started. Looks about the same as here: https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.4509358,-...384!8i8192

It does look wider than I thought I recalled.

But that's a new sidewalk! See this photo for what it looked like when the Mayfair was still there:

Ah that's true. It looks like the new building is about where the plywood walls were after demolition, which is set back a bit from where the old walls were. It also looks like the road may have been shrunk when they repoured the sidewalks in between those pictures, based on the position of the manhole cover which doesn't seem to have changed.

I don't think the new sidewalk is poured in the sideways pic. That looks like a tamping machine in the middle of it in preparation for pouring.
