A crew of about 50 is at work on the
Burano condo tower being built at the intersection of Bay and Grenville. The seven levels of underground parking have been completed, and last week saw the pouring of the concrete for the third floor, the first to peak out above the hoardings of this long-planned, long-delayed project, a sister project to the completed Murano tower across Bay Street.
The 48-storey, 451-unit building, with 10,000 square feet of rental space to be available along Bay, is being built on the site of the old
Addison on Bay Cadillac dealership, part of the facade of which is being incorporated into the new design by
Peter Clewes.
"Later this summer, workers will begin reassembling and installing" the facade, says Beth Shropshire, spokeswoman for developer
Lanterra, "which was dismantled and safely stored to be reutilized, along with the original doors to be added next year."
Occupancy is scheduled for next summer.
