Since our last update things are moving ahead at lighting speed ! Our site supervisor has really kicked it in high gear. In the last 3 months we’ve gone from struggling with the continued wet spring weather while getting the last of the roof sealed up, to sunny warmer days, perfect for the detailed interior work ahead.

These past weeks we’ve begun drywalling the actual suites, cabinets being installed along with our beautiful quartz countertops, undermount sinks are in, solid surface plank flooring going down, light fixtures installed, interior doors are hung and the finishing trim looks fabulous!

We took particular notice to the quality of the paint finishing. We’ve made efforts to choose the right finishing crews that are as fussy as our developer.

In addition to being very pleased with progress, we’ve managed to gain approval from the architects and city authorities to enlarge our 1st floor patios to what we’d considered “HUGE” by any condo standards.

Another wet winter has created challenges for our crews, particularly the roofers. While we finalize the completion of our roofing over the last quadrant of our massive building, plumbers, electricians, drywallers and many other trades are working on the initial phases in preparation of our display suites.

The kitchen and bathroom cabinet manufacturers along with the quartz countertop people are very busy offsite.

We’ve had many questions regarding our “Quartz” choice for countertops. What is Quartz and why did we choose it over Granite or for our homeowners?

Both high end countertops, Quartz is a natural material found in the earth. It is the second most abundant material in the earth’s crust. This mineral forms when silicon crystallizes over thousands of years. Our countertops are made from engineered quartz, an engineered stone that combines over ninety percent crushed quartz with resin to tailor the shape and style and bind the materials together.  Quartz is less porous than granite, so it works best in areas that will have more moisture and requires no maintenance. Granite, although equally beautiful does require some maintenance and is recommended by suppliers to reseal granite annually to prevent staining. Quartz offers consistency in color and grains throughout where granite has many different shades and inconsistent grains making it difficult to maintain similarities though out our development.

With a building this size, our experts have commenced the construction of 2 elevators in our lobby, yes 2 elevators to avoid waiting times and meet the needs of our homeowners.
