700 BAY STREET
The 700 Bay Street project was a full demolition of the 25-storey office tower. The building was located next to a residential tower, a large regional children’s hospital and occupied an entire downtown Toronto city block. In addition, PDI demolished a two-storey podium covering about 25,000 square feet attached to the residences, on top of five levels of underground parking.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
PDI IN ACTION
Logistics and close proximity to neighbouring buildings as well as the roadways along Avenue Road were both major challenges during this project. PDI used outriggers and netting along the north and south elevations to allow for a top-down demolition, preventing debris from falling against, or onto, adjacent structures.
