The development will be called The Brookdale on Avenue Road. It is at the northwest corner of those two streets. Digging has begun for underpinning, according to Urban Toronto. The properties torn down included three walk-up rental apartment buildings, a row of low-rise retail, and a popular neighbourhood bar and grill that has since relocated. Demolition of these properties wrapped up late last year, and since then, work has begun on the project’s shoring. To be carried out over the course of the next several weeks, this phase involves the creation of a below-grade earth retention system around the site’s perimeter, allowing for a safe excavation.
