Smart move. Top-floor gyms have a nice view but noise transmission to the floor below is always a problem.

Yes, and it opens up the top floor for more expensive rentals. I know they had many issues with the unit below the gym, even after adding padding.

Where is this one located in relation to the others?
I feel like the original site plan can't really be followed at this point. Or can it?

The original site plan is exactly what has been and is being built. So yes, it can be followed.

Attached two photos of the progress below. There are four towers up (though not all are complete + the hotel) and they're preparing the area for the fifth which you can see in the first photo

It looks like the first floor has either been poured or is about to be poured.

I guess the townhomes along Avondale Ave N won't be going in any time soon either; fresh parking lot today:

Spoke too soon. Crane is going up.
RE: The BarrelYards | ?m | 25 fl | U/C - jwilliamson - 10-27-2017
Crane is up.

So what's the crane for? The commercial office space? I can't remember what goes there, and the image link in the first post is borked!

This building is called Royal Oak. It will be 20 stories.
There are two more residential towers (plus the townhomes) in addition to this tower on the original site plan (provided to residents when you move in)

There are also two office towers in addition to the three remaining residential towers. If you look at the site plan there has been some changes, this latest building was to be 18 stories but we were told through resident communication it would be 20 stories.
Still another 12 and 10 story buildings on the plan. Were told the residential building will be completed before they start on the two office towers and commercial space. We've also heard speculation that there has been revisions to the office tower plans.
RE: The BarrelYards | ?m | 25 fl | U/C - tomh009 - 10-30-2017
Right. Five more large buildings to go. I think 2022-ish completion date for the site is likely, assuming no major changes to the plan.

Just to clarify they are planning to complete all remaining residential towers before starting the office buildings?
Thanks for the updated information.

Yes. Or at least that is information I was told when I moved in last year.
