So, the link below takes you to a page from about a year ago to see what's been accomplished in the past year. Appears to be a floor about every 3 weeks.
Thanks as always, for the visual, CDYXE! I'm not sure what to think, again. Very little visual progress in another gone-by month. Half a floor of insulation board-wall and some more balcony beginnings. Do these guys make me feel any better, at least on build quality? :
Not sure if you're serious. Did you read the About Us page on their website?
Yufeng Wang - Founder & Chairman of the Board, P.Eng, PhD
Yufeng is the president of Set Mechanical Corporation, and also the CEO and President of Baydo Development Corporation. As the driving force behind Baydo Development Corporation, Yufeng Wang brings over 14 years of experience as a professional engineer in structural engineering
Xiaofeng Wang - Founder & CEO, M.Sc.
Xiaofeng Wang, a Mechanical Engineer in training nearing P.Eng certification, serves as Director and CEO at SetMechanical Corporation.
BTW, Xiaofeng Wang is also CEO of WOW Electrical, another Baydo-owned firm. Take a look at their website - it may look familiar: https://wowelectrical.ca/about-us/
I find it pretty interesting that SET Mechanical and WOW Electrical both list Baydo Tower as one of their projects. My understanding is that they have Pro-Western Mechanical and W.H. Hunter Electric on the project. In fact, I think that Hunter's sign is still up on the site fence. Hadn't heard of Baydo buying those firms, but who knows?
Thanks CDYXE! I see progress! They've had a pretty good month, I think, by Baydo standards.
Those perspectives I haven't seen in a while, and I agree about the life DT. I enjoy walking around and seeing people out and about. I'm not sure it'll ever get as busy as the 1960s, which is ironic, but at least there's life on the land!
Blends right in. Looks like these were built around the same time as all the other building in the immediate area. Missed opportunity. I don't even need to see the finished product. Ugly. that said, nice extra heft to the skyline. trying to find the silver lining here.
Still not sure why the hate on perceived small windows, when the climate is so cold. I've lived across the street in a high-rise from 60 years ago with about the same sized windows and had no problem seeing out of them. I valued the wall space, too. It was warm and cozy. I've never understood the glass house mentality, especially clear glass. Maybe for a couple of meters in the living room, but the whole facade? Forget it. This is Saskatchewan. It's freezing cold for long long streeeeeetches. No need to show off and waste resources like most of the city does.

I'd agree. I was walking by there a week or two ago and looked at the surrounding buildings and most seemed to have smaller windows.
LMAO. The reality is the windows are small. And, there's a full range of fenestration between small windows and curtain glass.
Double pane glass has an R (insulating) value of 2. Triple pane glass has an R (insulating) value 8. If your concerns are over wasted energy than you should be pursuing triple pane as standard as well as thermal breaks for every balcony slab in the national energy code in Toronto, Vancouver, etc.
The windows could be bigger I guess, but I live in a high rise in vancouver now and even with the weather being milder here it is not possible to live in the unit without AC in the summer. In the spring before the buildings AC is on and it's like 15 degrees out we need to have the windows open at all times, and it still gets to 23-25 indoors.
No hate, no concerns. I'm quite sure I won't be living here, as I own my own pad, but for those that choose it, I'm sure pets and plants will do just fine, haha. Leafs lost again. Suck it up. Van/Edm is going to be a great Cdn series! Van in 6, or 7 Baydo occupancy in 6 or 7....
