Bay Adelaide Centre North Tower & Podium

Bay Adelaide Centre North Tower & Podium

Bay Adelaide Centre North Tower is the third and final tower in the Bay Adelaide Centre complex in downtown Toronto. With large podium floors and a rooftop patio, the complex features a half-acre urban plaza and a 1,000-stall parking garage.

This complex is ‘the centre of business’ and represents a new standard for AAA-class office buildings due to the innovative design and technology incorporated into the construction and day-to-day operations, and integration with the heritage and community of the financial core.

Facts & Figures
  • The North Tower is a LEED Platinum certified Building
  • More than 500+ shipments were needed to be coordinated for ‘just-in-time’ deliveries given the limited space available for storage on the congested city site
Our Role
Walters scope included construction engineering, detailing, fabrication and erecting 9,300 Tons of structural steel and 850,000 sq.ft. of metal deck for the 33 storey office building and podium.
Overcoming Challenges
Given site logistics, one of the tower cranes was required to sit on a cantilevered grillage system requiring specialized engineering efforts. As with any high-rise, Walters needed to closely coordinate activities with all other trades working on site. High-rise construction demands a lot of work be performed in a very small footprint.
