The first building on Waterfront's East Bayfront isn't going to break ground until next year, but before the condos comes the infrastructure, and
East Bayfront's going to need a lot of it.
The13-acre site, being developed by Tridel and Hines under the name
Bayside, will require a continuation of the water's edge promenade, new public streets and stormwater management.
In the fall, crews began reinforcing the dockwall I preparation for the promenade, and demolition and various other forms of site preparation began.
"Over the next few months, crews will begin the stormwater management facility for the development, continue with the construction of municipal services -- watermain, Hydro -- and dockwall reinforcemen," says Samantha Gileno of Waterfront Toronto. "Promenade construction will begin March, 2014."
East Bayfront is part of the massive effort by the city to rehabilitate its waterfront, which has not served the city at all well since its industrial days.
