Hive Hits Topping Off Construction Milestone
The Hive’s design and construction teams had reason to celebrate on September 21st, as the building was topped off at its 10th floor.
The construction management team at Catapulta Contracting, along with the JEMM team, hosted over 100 tradespeople and project supporters to mark the milestone and take in the amazing city views from the building’s rooftop.
“Getting to this stage of construction safely and on time is a big achievement for any project and we’re appreciative of the team that’s here on site at the Hive,” said Lesleigh Russell, Principal & Director of Construction for JEMM Properties.
In the next few weeks, the crane will be removed from site and the team will work to enclose the building.
When complete, Hive in Sunnyside will offer 140 purpose-built rental units along 9A street just steps from the Bow River and nearby LRT station.
Hive’s first residents are expected to arrive in the summer of 2024.
Spring Brings Construction Progress at Hive
How is construction progressing?
What a great spring! Concrete is progressing well and should see some big movement upward in the next two months and up to Level 6 by the end of July.
What are the working hours?
A typical workday remains from 7AM to 5:30PM, though some days work could extend to 8:00PM or later depending on how the concrete pour days play out.
Is there going to be a lot of noise and dust?
As with any construction project, there will be some loud banging and some noise associated with our equipment and the delivery and pouring of concrete and other heavy materials. On windy days, our Construction Manager will try to modify work whenever possible to minimize blowing dust but now that we are out of the ground, dust will be reduced.
Who is the contact person for questions or concerns about construction at Hive?
We understand that the construction process can feel disruptive for people living nearby the site. Anyone with questions or concerns about how work is progressing at Bridge is encouraged to reach out to us by filling out an online form at jemm.ca/the-hive-in-sunnyside.
Construction is well underway at Hive
How is construction progressing?
We are progressing well! We thought the cold weather was going to stay before Christmas, but thankfully it warmed up. We are off to the races and ready to pour the slab on grade in the next 2 weeks as planned. Following this we will start setting up scaffolding for the main floor slab.
