AGF and Corsim build 3 new residential towers in Ottawa

AGF is proud to be part of the construction of the real estate development at 1330 Carling Avenue in Ottawa, in partnership with Corsim. Currently in Phase 2, this project involves building three residential towers of 23, 25, and 9 stories, which are quickly taking shape thanks to our expertise and close teamwork with all partners.

Project Technical Details

For this development, AGF will supply and install nearly 3,000 metric tons of rebar, distributed across the three buildings.

Project Timeline

The detailing phase began in May 2024, and by June, rebar installation was underway with the construction of Building D. In September 2024, work began on Buildings A and B. All three towers are actively under construction, and AGF continues rebar installation at an impressive pace.

Remarkable Productivity

Our team has achieved outstanding productivity, with several floors already completed in record time. According to Corsim, Building D has been the fastest building out of the ground in their entire history. Initially, the completion of Building D was planned for late January 2025, but at our current pace, we expect to finish by the end of November 2024—two months ahead of schedule. This achievement also allows us to speed up the timelines for Towers A and B, now expected to be structurally completed by June 2025 instead of August. 

Keys to Success: Team Efficiency and Flawless Coordination

The success of this rapid progress on Building D is the result of close coordination with all subcontractors, a highly effective on-site team, and careful planning, allowing us to meet and even exceed deadlines without slowing work on Buildings A and B. With an average team of 12 to 13 rebar placers—where the typical workforce for this type of project would usually be 15 to 18 workers—we optimized our staffing and increased productivity, creating a win-win scenario for AGF, the formwork contractor, and our client, Corsim.
