Current Progress

July 2008 Update
The month of June saw the completion of the 8th floor slab as well as the completion of the concrete work for the new elevator shaft on the existing parkade.

The formwork for the 9th floor slab is currently underway. The 9th floor represents a construction milestone as it will be the first of the of the typical cantilevered floors, extending out over the existing parkade. In order to support the 9th floor formwork, a large scaffolding system had to be built up from the ground level to the underside of the 9th floor to fill the distance between the existing parkade and the office tower.

A highlight from early July was the installation of the first nine glazing panels, marking the beginning of the curtain wall.

Project Description

The Palliser South project is an exciting and challenging new eighteen storey office tower and two storey professional building development located in Calgary's expanding “Beltline District”.

The most interesting component of this project is the introduction of a cantilevered floor plate over an existing parkade. The floor plates also increase marginally on the upper floors providing a sloped curtain wall architectural feature. Another challenging component of the project is building the professional two storey facility under an existing, above grade, parkade structure. With an existing parkade, CP Rail and a major downtown street, our only access to the site is on one side.

We continue to provide the owners and architects with budget updates and value engineering items as we endeavor to maintain the budget and to meet scheduled completion for August 2009.
