District Lofts Community

Dear Richmond Street neighbours,

I am happy to announce that the south side of Richmond St W, between Peter
Street and Spadina Ave, will finally be getting a sidewalk! The project will
involve the construction of the sidewalk, curb, tree pits, tree planting,
pedestrian scale lighting, and granite paver banding.

The work is anticipated to start in mid-August. City staff will also
be hand-delivering this notice door-to-door in the affected area. The work will
require some lane closures and there will be some noise generated as a result of
construction work, mostly taking place during the City’s permitted construction
hours of 7am and 7pm, Monday to Friday.

Another notice will be sent out about a week before the construction begins, and
will contain details about exact construction dates.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

Further information on this project can be found HERE.

Best regards,
Adam Vaughan

Is now history and we are pleased to report that despite being in the middle of the action all weekend we had no damage to corporation property.

Gym Renos

The gym renovation is now complete and we invite everyone for a free trial week. The even better news is that the price doesn’t change after the trial!! Take the opportunity to stop by and see our new facilities.

Recycling Bins

Bins and bags are now available for pick up at the concierge desk. Each suite is entitled to either one bin or one bag (but not both). If you haven’t already done so, please stop by to pick one up. And please continue to recycle as much as possible.

Building Seal

The building sealant project is about to begin in the near future. We will provide you with specific details about the project schedule and building use restrictions in early August.

As most of you are aware, we have undertaken an extensive sealant / caulking project to ensure that the exterior of the building is sealed against the elements.  Tritan Building Restoration has been chosen by the Board of Directors to perform the work involved.

Weather permitting, Tritan is expected to be on site beginning in early August to set up staging in the courtyard area.  The set up will take approximately one week to complete.

Once the work starts, the courtyard will be designated as a work area and will be off limits to all residents until work is complete in this area. Owners who have exclusive use patios on the north side of the courtyard area are also restricted from using their patios while overhead work is in progress.  A reminder will be provided when work is scheduled to begin. Owners with exclusive use patios on the south side of the courtyard will be restricted from using their patios beginning in September.  Please note that all patios will need to be cleared as completely as possible for this work to be done and to avoid any damages.

Owners of terraces on the north and south exterior building faces will receive separate notification of terrace restrictions well in advance of the start of overhead work.  Please note that your terraces will also need to be cleared as completely as possible for this work to be done, as scaffolding and staging mechanisms will need to be installed.

Additional information about this project is available to owners through our website HERE

Recycling Matters

Now that the City charges for garbage, the more you throw down the chute, the higher our fees. Recycling on the other hand is free. That’s right free. There is no cost or limit to the amount of recycling we can put out. Paper, plastic, glass – you don’t have to sort it but you do have to bring it downstairs. And now you can do it in style! We have secured in suite blue boxes for all residents.  Available for pick up by late June.

Building Envelope

The board invites all owners to a communications meeting. The objective is to explain the technical and financial aspects of our building’s envelope repair project. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to ask questions and share your concerns.
