This project has been having troubles getting an above grade building permit as although it has zoning approvals it's been struggling to complete several other conditions of approval to get the permit issued.

Specifically, the project has purchased a nearby property beside a park and they need to demolish the house on it and convey it to the city for a park expansion prior to the issuance of the permit, and that hasn't been completed yet. An exception went in front of council to proceed without the park conveyed, and I believe that was approved a week or two ago, so we should hopefully see an above grade permit soon. Once that happens we should finally see this rise above grade level.

Why do they need an "above grade" building permit? I figured once a project got the permit to build it was a done deal

It depends. There are a few different permit types the city (of Toronto) can issue. For smaller projects, it's obviously a little more straightforward often resulting in a "building permit" that can be a catch all for the project.

For this - and I'm not familiar with the project's particulars - there may have been a foundation permit as well as other conditional permits that do not include above grade construction in their scope, necessitating a separate permit to continue.

Yup. Typically a large condo in Toronto gets 3 major permits - excavation, below grade, and above grade.

Excavation doesn't need any approvals to get issued - it's typically called "soil remediation" to bypass the need for a Site Plan agreement.

Below grade needs an agreement in principle for the site plan approval - even if technical clearances haven't been satisfied.

Above grade needs zoning to happen, as zoning only regulates structures above grade. That's what's been holding this up as even though it's approved with conditions they hadn't cleared all their conditions for the zoning by-law amendment to come into law.

Not on hold. Site has been busy and reached grade a couple of weeks ago... and Sam got to staple this on today:

(above grade) structural framing building permit

please delete this post mods, sorry for the thread bump

Hopefully this hints of the structural steel’s arrival soon. The 4 yellow supports lying on-site will be vertical, presumably to support the 45 degree angled steel from the super columns.

5 1/2 years along and we're at street level now

I hope I live long enough to see this thing top out but I doubt it

Construction began in Aug. 2017, 3 years ago...

Is this still "ON HOLD" as the thread title suggests? Looks like it's actively being constructed.

Not on hold any more, the thread title needs a change...

Lol.. I've been On Hold with the moderators about the thread title ;-) As koops mentioned it has been u/c for 3 years, reached grade and is waiting for its first structural steel, as the pic above from a day ago demonstrates.

This is one of the supports, sitting between the two cranes, that I believe will hold up angled steel for the lower floor.

Last time I was in TO was in Aug 2017. They were just starting THE ONE. Wish I was back in TO to see all the construction activity. :tup::cheers:

The One: first angled steel for the lower floors (Apple et al). Yay.

This is exciting!

Happy for Toronto to have this tower.

Pardon the ignorance on my end - are these part of the final structure? Is this not concrete and rebar? Will it be a steel frame construction?

Yes the tower is structural steel. There are 8 super-columns for vertical steel and the angled steel you see is for the lower floor (see the bottom of the render below). Cheers.

Will this big mofo crane be able to "crawl" up the building floors or are they going to keep adding pieces to it?
