It was a record-breaking day Saturday on the site of the former Alma College. But, it’s a record not likely to stand for very long. Close to 3,000 cubic metres of concrete were poured for the footings for Phase 1 of the three-tower residential complex at 96 Moore Street to be known as Alma College Square. As of mid-afternoon the undertaking was proceeding with military precision and Adam Morris of Sierra Contracting outlined the scope of the concrete pour.
Morris confirmed it was a record-setting pour by quite a margin.
Phase 1 will feature an eight-storey building with 156 units with completion expected in the spring of 2022. With Phase 2 of the development larger in scope at nine stories, Morris suggested Saturday’s record pour will surely be surpassed in the not-too-distant future.
