Hello hello from Library District! Since we last saw each other, it was around the end of the fake apocalypse and the 11th floor was being poured. Since then, we’ve gained 3 floors, Windows, and the beginning of framing is underway on the lower floors. Follow past the jump for more!
We were hanging out having lunch in the St Lawrence Market earlier this week and thought, “you know, let’s just see what’s going on at Market Wharf”.
Library District is going up pretty quickly. It seems only a few weeks ago we were on the 8th floor, now we’re pouring the 11th! Have a look at what’s going on around the site this month!
We’ve been making regular visits to Market Wharf for the past couple of months, but this time it’s different — It’s personal. Wait, you’re saying this isn’t a movie trailer? Oh, okay we’ll tone it down a bit.
Anyway, we’re really excited to show you how much we’ve done to get everything ready for occupancy in the new year. Heck, we’ve even removed the giant crane a few weeks ago! That’s big, as in “we’ll be done soon” big. Exciting stuff right?
Anyway, come with us on a fantastical journey through Market Wharf as it’s going through it’s final phases of construction:
It’s been quite some time since we last visited Library District . We mean, it’s not like we’re avoiding it, we’ve just been…you know, busy with other stuff. We’ve been meaning to call though, we promise.
We have another model suite to show you this week! Here we have the Market Wharf 1 Bedroom + den water suite on the 6th floor, right next to the amenities facility.
When we first enter the unit we’re greeted with a large living/ dining area. The TV is right behind that plant thing, we swear.
At long last, the big reveal! We stopped in at Market Wharf to take a look at the recently completed model suites on the 6th floor. This unit features granite countertops, hardwood floors, ultra-modern appliances and TONS of natural light. Follow past the jump for more pictures of this ultra-modern slice of downtown life.
Looks like it’s time to check in on progress at our Library District development. As you can see from the picture above, workers are well under way on pouring the third floor of the amenities building, and it looks like the library is coming along nicely as well. It’s only a matter of time until we get to see the tower rise! Check out some more great photos below.
This past Wednesday, Context hosted a celebration at Fort York signifying the commencement of Construction on the Library District tower. Officials from Context, Baker and the Toronto library were on hand to celebrate the construction beginning across the street.
Beyond the Bathurst st bridge, Library District can be seen poking up above the fall foliage. Fort york also presented an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the national historic site that will be located right next to our building.
After a light lunch and some warm beverages, Howard Cohen from Context gave a few words about the development and the significance of incorporating the City of Toronto’s 100th library into the development. Jeff from Baker real estate and shared his thoughts from a realtor point of view.
Fort York also took the opportunity to showcase their own development to revitalize their tourist area within the fort york by building a visitors centre. The building–part of a $23 million upgrading of Toronto’s birthplace–will start construction during the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. It will sit just outside the gates to the ramparts of the fort, within the National Historic Site and tucked into a slope in the ground that was once a bank on the shore of Lake Ontario.
Library District is located directly to the east of Fort York and is currently under development. Library district also includes the construction of Toronto’s 100th public library.
To learn more about Fort York, pay a visit! And don’t forget to say ” Hello” to Library District across the street 🙂
