College View Apartments is located at 423 Yonge Street in Toronto. The 27-storey rental apartment building experienced sudden failure in masonry panels and required immediate masonry wall rehabilitation.
ABSI was engaged by the property manager to determine the cause of the failure and undertake the replacement work. It was determined that all the brick ties had deteriorated or were loose and the shelf angle anchors detached from the back up wall, or were missing altogether. ABSI provided design and project management for the complete replacement of all exterior cladding on the north and south side of the building.
