Construction at 878 Frederick Street is moving along well. Work is happening both inside and outside the building as crews get the suites ready, install important mechanical and electrical systems, and prepare to fully close in the building for winter.
What’s Happening Now
- Inside the suites on Levels 2–4, crews are installing plumbing, tubs, drains, heating and cooling systems, and other essential parts of each unit.
- Electricians are working on things like wiring, panels, transformers, and connecting major electrical components throughout the building.
- Sprinkler systems are being installed in hallways and suites on the first three levels.
- Outside, the base asphalt has been laid, a test section of brick has been completed, and materials for the exterior siding and insulation are being put in place on the North and East sides.
- All work is being closely supervised to make sure the site stays safe and the building continues to progress smoothly.
What’s Coming Up
In the next few weeks, crews will keep installing drywall on Levels 2 and 3, put in metal door frames for suites and stairwells, continue sprinkler installation, and move forward with heating, cooling, and plumbing hookups. Brickwork on the North and East sides will also continue as the project prepares to move into more detailed interior finishing.
Bringing the Project Over the Finish Line
We are so excited to see everything taking shape but the final pieces, the ones that transform a building into a home, still need funding. Your support could help us provide:
- An accessible elevator
- Appliances and window coverings for comfort and privacy in every unit
- Furnishings and equipment for a community room that will bring neighbours together
These touches may seem small, but they are essential in creating dignity, connection, and home. When you support this project, you’re helping address critical housing challenges facing our region. You’re contributing to a concrete, meaningful solution: one that will strengthen the community for years to come.
