• We post construction information updates weekly on Fridays or more frequently, as information or activity warrants, to keep neighbourhood stakeholders informed, with a particular focus on the immediate St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood.

L Tower subcontractors are working with Toronto Hydro to move forward the installation of lamp standards on the north side The Esplanade between Scott Street and Yonge Street. The work is the responsibility of Toronto Hydro but efforts are being made to move the process along to ensure adequate lighting for pedestrians on this section of street. We will post new information here as it becomes available.  

Future locations of streetlights on The Esplanade – L Tower construction staff are working with Toronto Hydro to expedite the installation of lighting.

NOTE for L Tower Residents

We get enquires from L Tower residents about the progress of internal work in the building. While we are happy to direct these enquiries to the appropriate people, please note that the purpose of this site is to provide construction information to external neighbourhood stakeholders, particularly in the immediate St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood.

One of the unique elements of the L Tower is the underground parking which is located under the Backstage condominium on the south side of The Esplanade. Today we had another peak into the private tunnel that will connect L Tower residents to their parking spaces. The floor of the tunnel still needs to be finished before residents may begin to use it.
