Sloane

The Sloane, located at 3450 Dufferin Street in Toronto, is a major mixed-use, purpose-built rental development in the Yorkdale neighbourhood. The project includes three residential towers of 24, 28, and 30 storeys, delivering more than 750 rental units across over 46,452 m² (500,000 sqft) of residential space.

Positioned directly across from Yorkdale Shopping Centre, the development contributes to the area’s growing urban density while providing residents with convenient access to retail, transit, and neighbourhood services. The building also features several recreational amenities, including a basketball court and bowling alley, designed to enhance the residential living experience.

To mitigate vibration and impact noise generated by the building’s amenity spaces, CDM Stravitec supplied high-performance vibration-isolated flooring solutions.

For the basketball court, a Stravifloor Jackup-R floating floor solution with 100 mm (4") boxes and 25 mm (1") deflection springs was installed to isolate the 141 m² (1520 sqft) court area, reducing impact noise and preventing vibration transmission to adjacent residential spaces. For the bowling alley, a Stravifloor Jackup-R solution with 200 mm (8") boxes and 50 mm (2”) deflection springs was implemented across 82.50 m² (888 sqft), incorporating a deflection limiter pad to control vertical movement while maintaining the required isolation performance.

Additionally, Stravifloor Mat was installed in the 200 m² (2,148 sqft) surrounding areas of the bowling alley, providing supplementary vibration control and ensuring continuity of acoustic isolation. To further limit vibration transmission into the building structure, Stravibase Fix isolators were installed beneath the basketball court structure.
