110 Bloor St, Toronto

Scope

Included the removal and replacement of the 4-storey building façade along Bloor St., demolition of the 6 existing retail units, rough in for the future tenants, and coordination of tenant fit out work requirements. Contacted by the Owner when the project was 50% complete, considerably stalled, and drastically behind schedule. The landlord was very concerned about missing target dates in the new lease agreements and losing tenants.

Solution

THL’s proven Issues Resolution business process quickly identified and assessed numerous design, permit, material, structural and mechanical issues. We developed and implemented various communication, workflow, cost management, and tracking solutions. We overcame design and technical challenges by significantly improving collaboration with construction, architects and consultants, and coordination with tenants. Within 2 months, construction began proceeding at a reasonable rate for tenant turnover, and new target completion dates were then negotiated with all future tenants.

Scope

Included the removal and replacement of the 4 storey building façade along Bloor St., demolition of the 6 existing retail units, rough in for the future tenants, construction of a new “jewel box” store on the Cumberland side of the building, and coordination of tenant fit out work requirements. THL became involved when the project was 50% complete, considerably stalled, and dramatically behind schedule. Contacted by the Owner to find solutions to the issues holding up the project, then implement these solutions to get the project moving at a faster pace. The landlord was very concerned about missing target dates in the new lease agreements. This risked losing the tenants.

Solution

THL quickly assessed the construction issues and developed solutions within 2 months. Then construction began proceeding at a reasonable rate for tenant turnover. New target completion dates were then negotiated with all future tenants. One of the key issues was that the Construction Manager would not order the façade panels as the Architect would not guarantee the sizes. So all related work was at an impasse. A second key issue was that the architect’s façade design was past the property lines at the sidewalk, and above the vertical limit. THL quickly investigated and developed solutions using our proven Issues Resolution business process. Other critical issues delaying construction involved resolving issues related to the façade design, structural supports, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and coordination of tenant requirements. Challenging technical solutions were developed by working with the consultant team and Construction Manager. As part of this process, we prepared and published monthly financial statements and cost tracking. Reviewed the tenant fit out packages and confirmed work was completed as per the agreements.
