Construction Progress- The Charles at 2431 Ontario Rd NW

With The Gracie around the corner 100% complete and two units already under contract, we have turned our full focus to finishing The Charles project on Ontario Rd.  The timing is great too because it's starting to warm up, which makes it much easier to work in a building with no heat or rear windows.

We have three floors of joists complete and we're starting to frame the interior walls tomorrow.

The big walls are done and now we are building the small retaining walls in the back for a terrace level below the parking.

Most of today was spent moving stuff out of the building to get ready to frame tomorrow.

Because we are unable to lay the block from the outside, the engineer designed a special angle iron to tie the block into the floor framing.

There's a pretty cool bridge in the back to get over the rear areaway.  This is temporary until we build the steps/decks.

The small court is finished and ready for windows.

Most of the interior brick is grinded out and ready to repoint.  We've learned to do this early in the project because the dust goes everywhere.

We donated the shrubs in the front to a neighbor to replant.  Eventually we'll dig out this  area to allow access to the basement unit.
