SOHO Phase 1

Hamilton, ON

This project consisted of a two 8-storey condominium and rental apartment buildings with a shared 5-storey amenity bridge connecting the two buildings and 1 level of underground parking. The structure consisted of reinforced concrete floors, shear walls, and columns. The buildings foundations utilized concrete caissons extending down to bedrock.

Prior to founding BlueGrid Engineering Inc., Principal Jordan Del Conte led the design team for this project as an employee of MTE Consultants Inc.

Balm Beach Commercial and Residential

Midland, ON

This project consisted of a 3-storey building with commercial units on the ground floor and apartment units on the upper floors, load-bearing cold-formed steel (CFS) stud walls and reinforced concrete shear walls. The foundation presented an interesting challenge in that a previous single-storey iteration of the building had already constructed footings in place BlueGrid was required to design around the already constructed footings in order to optimize the structural layout and simplify foundation construction.
