Cladding Progresses at 400 King West in the Entertainment District
AI Article Summary
The 400 King West project in Toronto's Entertainment District has advanced with significant progress in cladding installation. The building, designed by BDP Quadrangle for Plaza, stands 49 storeys tall and features a mix of single and triple-storey penthouses. Notable construction developments include the application of paint swatches for finish selection and the ongoing installation of a window wall system, which has reached the 40th floor.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how detailed cladding and finish work can advance concurrent with structural construction, impacting timelines positively. For Canadian builders, this means a potential shift in focus towards integrating aesthetic components earlier in the project lifecycle. Additionally, the use of different materials and paneling techniques may influence the supply chain dynamics and cost calculations.
