TORONTO — Menkes Developments Ltd. has announced its 25-storey office tower at 100 Queens Quay E. in Toronto has reached the topping off stage.
The last of the concrete for the project was poured Aug. 24, noted a release. Instead of a topping-off celebration, given the pandemic, Menkes said it is thanking its trades for their hard work in other ways.
Menkes is working with TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) on the project. Builders broke ground in January 2018 as the first phase of Sugar Wharf, a mixed-use community that will include office, retail, residential, Toronto’s first vertically integrated school, and a two-acre public park.
Sugar Wharf will be the largest mixed-use development on the Toronto waterfront, the release noted, home to 7,500 residents and approximately 4,000 office workers.
The office tower features 690,000 square feet of Class AAA space. Designed by B+H Architects, the tower is being built with the goal of achieving LEED Platinum certification.
LCBO will be a major tenant of 100 Queens Quay E., occupying 225,000 square feet, or 33 per cent of the building, with the ground floor featuring a 25,000-square-foot flagship LCBO retail store.
In April 2019, Menkes also announced the tower would be the future home of the Toronto Region Board of Trade, with a corporate event space that includes an outdoor terrace.
The building is currently 55 per cent leased. Expected occupancy is spring 2021.
“This is an exciting project for us and we’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with TDAM, our future tenants and of course our dedicated trades who worked so hard, despite the many challenges this year presented,” Sean Menkes, Menkes vice-president of office/retail said in the statement.
