Construction officially com-
menced on 111 Church Street
project in November 2017, and
has progressed steadily in the
time since. The company has
recently completed the seventh
of nine floors, and expects the
building to achieve occupancy
by November of this year.
John credits the success of the
project so far to the collabora-
tion between every stakeholder
on the project, from the co-fi-
nanciers at FirstOntario Credit
Union, to the future operators at
Bethelem Housing and Support
Services, to the architect, build-
ers, subcontractors, suppliers,
and everyone in between.
In particular, John praises the
project managers at WSP, and
in particular Liban Gilao, who
has been their point man at
Church Street.
“He has just been a superb proj-
ect manager, I can’t rave enough
about him,” John says. “He gets
what we’re trying to do. He
makes sure everything is built
the way it should be. He’s also
been great at finding the right
