In August 2007 Albatech Building Restoration Inc. started 2007- Atria II Podium Deck Expansion Joint Repair Program.

The Parking garage at 2225 and 2235 Sheppard Avenue East is a 2 level underground structure with one suspended level and one on grade parking level located directly below two high-rise commercial office buildings incorporating retail and office occupancies. The parking garage extends out past the building above creating a podium deck/garage roof slab above. The structural system of this garage is cast-in-place reinforced concrete construction. The suspended slab is a 2-way slab, approximately 9-1/2” thick supported by a combination of columns, foundation walls and shear walls. Access to the garage is from the entrance/exit on the east end of the garage.
