Story

Built next to the Portage Lift Bridge and along Portage Calan, Canal Crossings is a four story building housing 21 condominiums.  From the very foundation, this building presented Moyle with a unique challenge.  Located on a site consisting of organic material and stamp sand, a poured caisson system was used to provide a firm building foundation.  Over 40 caissons were drilled down to bedrock, approximately 60 feet deep, and then filled with concrete.  The building's exterior walls are load bearing masonry and each floor is built using pre-cast concrete planks with a poured topping.  The building's veneer is cultured stone and EIFS.  In addition to the private balconies that each condo has, the roof provides residents with another space to spend time outside and enjoy the views along the canal.  The ballasted, selk-draining artifical turf system with paver walking paths simulates a natural feeling while being on a roof deck.
