Our first shoring rig was delivered and setup today at Junction House. A second one is on the way shortly.
It will take a couple of months to complete all of our caisson piles. If you'd like to learn about how shoring is constructed, check out this "explainer" from UrbanToronto.
It was also an absolutely beautiful day here in Toronto -- not a cloud in the sky. So here are a few photos from site.






We are reasonably confident that summer will eventually arrive in Toronto this year, and so we (Junction House) have partnered with Indie Alehouse to host a public and outdoor beer garden from June through to August, right in the Junction.
We are calling it The House Beer Garden because we both have "House" in our name and that's as clever as we get.
Here are the details:

There will be four editions of The House Beer Garden and each will host a different local food vendor. For the first one, we will be welcoming Chau Toronto and their modern Asian bites.
The timing of the first Beer Garden also happens to line up with the Annual Summer Solstice Festival in the Junction (that was deliberate). So Dundas Street West will be closed to cars and it's going to be a lot of fun.
No need to RSVP. Just show up at 2720 Dundas Street West, Junction. See you in two weeks.
This morning the Toronto Star published a profile piece on one of Junction House's earliest purchasers: Barbara Martinez. Barbara downsized from a house to a 1-bedroom condominium in Roncesvalles, but then realized that she still wanted space to entertain and have guests over. So she decided to buy a 3-bedroom penthouse at Junction House with an approximately 350 square foot terrace. That'll work. It is truly one of the nicest suites in the building, and will come equipped with a view of the Toronto skyline that looks something like this (see background projection below):

I am quoted in the article as saying that mid-rise condominiums in Toronto's neighborhoods naturally tend to attract a different set of buyers compared to, say, a downtown tower. That is true and we are seeing it play out at Junction House. Yes, we have 1-bedroom suites that are perfect for young professionals and/or investors, but we also have some spectacular 2-storey suites (the House Collection) and larger single-storey suites for people just like Barbara. Congratulations on your new home purchase!
