This project involved the demolition, remodeling, and re-cladding of an existing 33 story building façade at the Simpson Tower in downtown Toronto, along with a 10 story low rise next door. All work was completed while the building was fully occupied. The project required elaborate street scape work of a protective and working staging system to protect the five thousand workers, shoppers, and visitors that pass by the buildings each day. In addition to the significant exterior scope of work, D.F. Pray was also responsible for renovations of the fully occupied interior of this 33 story office high rise. This daily routine involved moving of tenant furniture, temporary office spaces, and final cleaning all done on a daily basis to ensure offices were interrupted as little as possible.
