On September 21, CTBUH Canada was pleased to continue the launch of in person events with a construction tour of what may be the largest real estate development in Canada. The WELL presents 3,000,000 square feet of retail, office, and residential space. The seven acre site is bounded by Wellington Street West, Spadina Avenue and Front Street West in downtown Toronto. The Well will be a neighborhood onto itself with a total of 1,700 residential units. The seven building development is heated and cooled through its connection to the Enwave district energy plant.

The tour was hosted by RioCan, Allied, Tridel and Deltera. Trevor Smith, an assistant project manager with RioCan, opened the tour with an overview of the development. Deltera Senior Project Manager Annett Summers and lead Superintendent Sean McCaffrey facilitated examination of the development with emphasis on four noteworthy features. These features were described and choregraphed with information and photo flyers.

• The Well Beneath the Well
• The Canopy Above the Well
• The Well Beyond the Edge
• Inside the Well

At the P4 station Sean McCaffrey and Matt Dyck with Deltera explained the 260 foot deep cistern which functions as expanded chilled water storage for the Enwave District Energy Plant. The Well provides western capacity expansion, increasing the serviceability of the downtown District Energy Plant to approximately 20 million square feet, including the seven buildings of The Well. Enwave is a major tenant in The Well with a large auxiliary chiller plant located on P4.
