About two levels deep for the parkade. I am guessing it will be 3?

Confirmed it's a two level parkade. Project been moving along nicely. Crane going up today.

^^^^^I know nothing about the permitting process so an honest question: why does the city (I'm assuming this is common practice), issue a BP "To construct FOOTINGS AND FOUNDAATIONS ONLY for future apartment building". Why? Why just the foundations? Why doesn't the project just get a building permit that covers everything? Seems like a red tape / money grab kinda thing to me.

@buildings it has mainly to do with expediting the building process to the benefit of the owner/contractor -- without having to have the whole building plan-checked the builder can proceed with the foundation, if it is separately permitted, while the more lengthy review of the the building superstructure is going through detailed Building and Safety review. Often the Foundation can be completely built out in the same time space as the rest of the building being plan-checked.
