True North Square

True North Square was a unique project comprising of two towers. The first tower, 242 Hargrave, is 365,000 square feet of Class A Office Space spread out over 17 stories; The second tower, 225 Carlton, is comprised of 200,000 square feet of commercial and residential space spread out over 25 floors. These two towers also share a common public realm area that is built upon two levels of underground parkade.
For the first phase of this project, Wescan worked closely with AME Group and PCL to develop cost savings for the owner while still maintaining a high level of standards. In addition, our team focused on the mechanical operation systems that provide service to both towers in order to achieve LEED Gold certification. This was all achieved within a construction schedule of under 2 years, from the design to the substantial completion of 242 Hargrave.

SCOPE OF WORK
  • A full BIM 350 LOD Model, which required us to take the model from a 200 LOD to 350 LOD

  • Utilization of BIM 360 for QC Management
  • Core Washrooms from Level 4 to 17 in 242 Hargrave
  • 192 Finished Suites in 225 Carlton
  • Integrated Fire Protection System for Both Towers
  • Sanitary & Storm Sewer System
  • Separate Domestic Water System for Each Tower
  • Full Building Management System (BMS) that is developed to allow for future expansion as new tenants are brought on board
  • A Mechanical System that has allowed the owner to achieve LEED Gold Certification
