the Talbot facade looks so cut-and-pasted.
Great density, though

Agreed.

Usually, I love it when new buildings incorporate old heritage elements/buildings. But this doesn't look right to me.

It does looks like, though, that Old Oak may have changed their design for the facade because those old houses fronting Talbot have been demolished, and Old Oak's website shows a different design for the facade: https://oldoakproperties.com/apartments/centro/

MolsonExport · #**225** Posted **Apr 8, 2022, 4:22 PM**

demolished? Nothing old in Old Oak. New Oak?

jammer139 · #**226** Posted **Apr 8, 2022, 4:48 PM**

Forming now started for 7th floor walls in the SW corner of south tower.

GreatTallNorth2 · #**227** Posted **Apr 8, 2022, 7:48 PM**

I thought I saw that the facade was going to be moved to the inside of the middle building.

For once I am hoping the render doesn't look like the finished product

Djeffery · #**229** Posted **Apr 8, 2022, 10:57 PM**

Wasn't that the former builder's design (Rygar was it?). I thought Old Oak changed a few things.

The application to move the Camden Terrace facade from the interior to the exterior was subsequently withdrawn by Old Oak.

LFP Mar. 2, 2021:

"Centro application revoked
What was expected to be a fiery battle over two downtown heritage landmarks “collapsed” on Monday night as a developer withdrew proposed changes to a $245-million, twin tower project at the site of the old Camden Terrace. Old Oak had applied to rebuild the Victorian rowhouse facade on the outside of its Talbot Street development, instead of inside the lobby, and asked for permission to deconstruct and rebuild two walls of a heritage property at 93-95 Dufferin Ave., angering history buffs. The company withdrew both requests Monday night, saying it was looking forward to final planning approvals to restart “this vital and ambitious project” it’s calling Centro."

Now forming for 8th floor slab in the south tower. Have a section of the L2 slab formed and steel rebar in the SE corner of pit. Could see that poured this week. Forming for L3 walls for the elevator/stairwell shaft in the north tower. Have crushed stone now in the NE corner and prepping to pour the NE corner L3 slab in the coming weeks.

jammer139 · #**232** Posted **May 28, 2022, 2:14 PM**

The 8th floor slab is now poured and they have started steel rebar for 8th floor walls and posts in the south tower. They have also begun removing the dirt ramp along the west side of the pit in the north end. They have also delivered 5 more sections of tower crane to the site in preparation for lifting the south tower crane. Should see that very soon.

jammer139 · #**233** Posted **Jun 1, 2022, 5:48 PM**

Some of the 8th floor walls and posts for the south tower are now poured.

jammer139 · #**234** Posted **Jun 4, 2022, 3:07 PM**

They have lifted the south tower crane now. Slightly taller now then the north tower crane.

Goldenamishplumber · #**235** Posted **Jun 6, 2022, 8:58 PM**

Was able to take a different angle of it a few days ago.

jammer139 · #**236** Posted **Jun 6, 2022, 11:58 PM**

Excellent photo. Even timed the York King street project lifting their tower crane in the background.

MolsonExport · #**237** Posted **Jun 7, 2022, 4:19 PM**

Great shot. London is growing up, finally. If only we could get a mass transit system to match.

Some photos from Centro's social media this morning:

jammer139 · #**239** Posted **Jun 19, 2022, 4:26 PM**

The 8th floor walls and posts are now poured and the forming is up for the 9th floor slab in the south tower. They have excavated out the remaining soil on the west wall of pit. Excavator is still at bottom of pit to dig out the remaining footing islands for concrete forming along the west side. Sump pump pit for the north tower is now poured and prep is under way for the north L3 wall forming. Should see alot of forming and pouring in the north end of pit in the coming weeks.

jammer139 · #**240** Posted **Jun 25, 2022, 7:38 PM**

Have poured the 9th floor slab and started the forming for 9th floor walls and posts on the south tower. Have poured the L3 perimeter wall along the north end. Steel rebar now up for the NW corner L3 perimeter wall. Getting closer to pouring the L3 floor slab along the east wall of pit into the NE corner. Footings being formed and poured now along the west wall.
