This is great. Hopefully the one on Kensington Rd also goes ahead at some point.

I somehow missed the news that this was going ahead. How awesome!

Probably not. We generally won't see more than 6 storeys in wood until NBCC 2020 releases later this year to allow up to 12.

There are exceptions, but you have to do quite a bit of leg work with the Fire Code to prove it's safe. It's a big deal when that happens, see Brock Commons in Vancouver as an example.

To bad this could have fit into the new 2020 EMTC provisions accepted in Alberta. But you are correct in saying there is some additional leg work.

Given the amount of wood frame 6 floors going up, I'm betting will see some at higher numbers with NBCC 2020 coming on line.

Progress. Maybe a crane soon?

 

[YourBoy007]

Definitely a crane soon.

The crane base looks ready to go. I bet the crane will go in this weekend.

This project appears to be that it will be all poured concrete for all the floors - yeah/no???

With a tower crane there, I would expect all concrete.
