It is now a construction site - the job will be finished sometime in October of 2018. That's election month - who will the Mayor be then?

BURLINGTON, ON

It is now a fully functioning construction site – you can tell by the number of people complaining. There must be something in the water in Burlington – or maybe we are too close to the water. We want to be a prosperous community and that means growth – places for people to live, jobs for people to earn a living. That means construction – and a little inconvenience.

That small patch of green, centre right, is about where the landscaping and the terracing will begin that will lead to the lake’s edge.

As we were walking to the Bridgewater construction site a passerby asked when it was going to be finished – she wasn’t ready for the answer – October 2018.

The construction site – from the south west corner – the entrance to parking will be just south of the two concrete items.

The project is to consist of a 22 storey condominium on the east side, an eight storey hotel on the west side and a seven storey condominium south of the hotel.

This is the layout for the project.

The project will have a wide public space with a reflecting pool in the centre between the buildings.

This massive drill will be moving around the site drilling holes that will have the steel caissons sunk into them.

Caissons are being put in place – 115 of them.  They drill down 47 feet. The  shaping of the land is underway so that construction the next phase of construction can get underway. There will be four level of underground parking on the northern part of the site and three and a half levels in the southern part of the site.

The hydro wires that were strung along Lakeshore Road are gone – they’ve been buried.

Boris Kresina points to the project New Horizons is also doing on the other side of the lake.

Boris Kresina oversees the construction on the site, backed up by Terry Turner. Boris does the oversight for several New Horizons development: the Bridgewater in Burlington, a project in Oakville, to in Stoney Creek. The City Square project in Hamilton is basically completed.

Bridgewater will open a new sales office on John Street in about a month.
