Local concern at delay of construction at McRae/Sutherland

A growing Facebook thread is airing concerns Friday about the townhouse project at McRae and Sutherland Drives. After furious activity last December the project has fallen silent. One informed writer says “I suspect The City has delayed the job as building framing is not up to code. most of the horizontal engineered bearing beams have been cut to allow for framing. Not good for framing inspection. 2×4 framing has no bracing and most verticals are not plumb. Peter Higgins Architect should be aware of the deficiencies. 4164816229.” Other posts say they have heard the plan has been changed and that houses to be built on Sutherland are no longer included. There was a vigorous pre-construction sales campaign during 2016 and 2017. Pity anyone who bought in.
