I wonder where else they forgot to use rebar.
Presumably, a thorough inspection of all the concrete poured before the incident with the stairs, has now taken place.

If I were a buyer in this project, it would definitely concern me if no additional concrete inspections are done.

It appears (from my limited understanding) that there were corrections performed to deficiencies that were discovered after the stair collapse and inspections by an engineering firm. From what I have read it’s been properly addressed and shouldn’t be a cause for concern moving forward. I’ll give credit where it’s due, it appears they’ve taken it seriously.
The paperwork points towards issues with the hired sub-trades as opposed to Lexi themselves. Obviously not a situation that anyone wanted as I’m sure it was costly to have the deficiencies addressed and work paused.
Progress still seems slow, I don’t think there’s been any work on the townhouse side for roughly a month? Not really sure what the deal is. It will be nice to see the fill in/out progress and the final vision take shape!

Tower is topped out, they are making slow progress on the townhouse side - it’s almost level with the lower parking as of today. Not sure what happened to the rooftop event they had promised online, getting late in the year at this point to host anything outside.
I’d be surprised at this point if we will even see possession by March, I can’t see that much work happening in less than six months at this rate.

If they can't afford the crane they need, who knows where else they will cut costs...

Photos on Instagram the other day showed the roof being completed...they were before council last night and said it would be April/May time frame for completion.
They also asked for a couple of variances
I figured they would need/want the crane for the townhome construction, I’ve seen them using the crane to bucket in concrete in the last few weeks, I guess they will have to use a pump truck with a boom from here on. Not sure how they will unload some of the trucks either, I’ve seen them unload quite a bit with it. I guess I was just surprised to see it leave without the full structure being completed. The guy I talked to said it was needed at another site and was supposed to be around for another three months.
I’m glad you mentioned the council meeting, hadn’t seen that. It’s a bummer that it’s not wall to wall glass anymore - figured this would have been caught earlier?

Granted I haven't been over there in awhile, but good luck with that completion time frame. I will take a closer look when I am in the area next time
Btw, in construction at this stage "variances" means they overbuilt

Yeah… I don’t think it’s going to happen either. I asked a guy there a couple days ago if there’s any way that ETA will happen, he burst out laughing. I asked about Summer 2025 and he said unlikely too. He wasn’t one of the Lexi guys and I don’t really see any reason for him to lie. He reminded me too that in these type of builds the final build out typically takes six months once all the doors and windows are installed, he pointed at the incomplete townhomes and missing windows and smiled.
Progress is being made on those townhomes but there’s still an awful lot of concrete work to be done before that’s mated to the rest of the tower - I’d be surprised if this is done before February. I do wish that there would be more communication from Lexi and MLA - crickets these days. I’d imagine by the end of December they will give us another ETA that is beyond the current estimate of March.
I also noticed that as of right now the Lexi website is down.
