Bayfancy Residence pours its basement slab ahead of schedule and starts to rise

Bayfancy Residence finished its work below ground in March 2025, and earlier than it had said it would.

The run-up

In January the team cut the foundation piles to level, filled them with concrete and waterproofed the base of the basement. By late February Bayfancy said:

• the job was on schedule;
• reinforcement for the basement was under way;
• steel, concrete and formwork on site were enough to build up to the 14th floor without waiting on shipments.

It set itself 20 March to pour the basement slab.

The pour

The basement slab was poured on 9 March 2025, eleven days early. Then the building began to climb quickly:

• ground-floor slab on 23 March;
• first-floor slab on 30 March.

Why the early weeks matter

For buyers of an apartment still on paper, the first months of a site are the best evidence of how it will run. Materials stocked ahead, a basement done early, and slabs following at weekly intervals were the signs Bayfancy pointed to. The real test was whether the pace would hold above ground.
