Project desk: major new buildings & large projects ($5M+)
For specialty subcontractors and suppliers: shoring, formwork, glazing, elevators, mechanical/electrical, fire protection, restoration, cranes and hoarding.
These are the large permits issued this month, with stage, scope packages implied by the permit text, and trades already filed.
When to act: Permit issued on a new building usually means the GC is buying out trades. Approach the developer/GC procurement team now.
Read this first: for large buildings the City's "issued" date is often a late-stage permit event, not a start. Several projects below were already under construction when their permit record was issued (we checked press reports and say so on each card). In-review applications and projects with a cleared site are the earlier signals.
67 matching permits (issued in the last 30 days, or applications in review) in the City of Toronto; 8 are shown, researched projects first. The paid brief includes every match, filtered to your service area, delivered weekly with company contact paths researched where a developer or builder is identifiable.

Gairloch Developments (per UrbanToronto project reporting for 3194-3206 Dundas St W) (confidence: medium). Stronger start signal than the towers: the demolition permit for the prior building on this site was issued Aug 2022, and the building permit (application Feb 2023, $5M stated) was issued 2026-10-30, so the site is clear and below-grade work is next. Permit text says 9 storeys / 88 units; press reported 8 storeys. Gairloch's neighbouring 3239 Dundas W (permit text: 11 storeys, 130 units, $50M) is in review.
