by

Weather: 21°C, mostly sunny
Workers onsite: At least 4

NOTE: The expansion of the work area in front of the 244 building means that the sidewalk and stairs leading to the hospital pathway is now closed until further notice.

Work done today:

  • Additional removal of pavers, aeration mat and more from the Phase 1 area in front of the 244 building
  • Additional clean-up in emergency repair area between the 240 and 244 buildings

Issues addressed (after being raised by council):

  • Temporary steps added to fire exits of 240 and 244 buildings in construction areas
  • Irrigation piping left on easement has been moved to the central courtyard
  • Removed membrane has been moved from being piled in the courtyard to the large waste bin

Note: Depending on need, two additional parking stalls may be unavailable in the Visitor Parking. Currently, 16 stalls are unavailable, so this could temporarily rise to 18. There are 21 stalls available as of this writing.

Prostar notices on emergency repair work and completion of Phase 1 (starts May 8, 2026)

by

See below for the official notices. Work begins tomorrow for the completion of Phase 1. Both this and the emergency repairs will require some patios on the ground floor to be cleared. Note that Prostar uses the terms “patios” and “balconies” interchangeably–all work will only affect units on the ground floor.

These notices have also been posted in the lobbies of all three buildings.

Crack repairs in the underground parking, March 16-19, 2026

by 
UPDATE: This post originally stated the work would be complete on March 18. It has been corrected to Thursday, March 19.

I’m a bit late on posting this, but several people have asked about it, so here is the update:

Crack repairs related to Phase 1 of the membrane project are currently taking place in the underground parking below the 244 building. A large area has been cordoned off and plastic sheets have been put up to contain dust and debris while the concrete slab is drilled. When drilling is complete, the crack will be filled with a concrete-like mixture that will prevent leaks from above.

The work should be completed on Thursday, March 19. Owners who had vehicles in the affected area were notified, I am not sure why a general notice of work was not made to all residents.

You can just see some of the plastic sheeting on the left side of the photo below, which shows the contractor’s vehicle.

The original crack was sealed from above with Kryton Krystol but was not covered in plastic and never cured properly. Rather than fixing it, Prostar and Strata Engineering opted to continue with work on the membrane installation, thus requiring the more expensive repair from below.

Here is a shot of the crack a few days after it was filled with the Kryton Krystol, from November 14, 2025. Most of the crack is submerged under rain water and the repair material is already breaking away.
