I agree polishing would help on the columns, but it wouldn't be enough in my opinion. On other RSH buildings I notice they take the painting of columns and other vertical penetrations all the way to the ground. Even if these columns are half steel and half concrete, to me at least its a misstep, though if that's what the architect intended I will eat humble pie. Those columns should be blue in my mind, or even orange, but they are unsightly as grey exposed concrete. I think we have enough exposed concrete from other developers in this city (sadly).

Here is a good example of what I was hoping for kind of:

Centre Building at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

they usally leave each element as is, the LSE is a steel structure all the way to the ground hence why the colour is unifrom. its not a hybrid, a better example would be the Madird Barajas or Melbourne Metro(Anzac Station) where steel meets concerte, the effect is similar to here. its honest about what it is.

Taken 14 March. Finally! I am assuming that the dashed lines imbedded in the floor are marking previous buildings before the first market went up. Nice touch.

haha from the previous photos I though the dashes lines were scuffs from a rubber wheel from some appliance (like one of the display fridges) that got intermittently stuck as the appliance was moved on the floor

There you go.
Overall very nice and quiet. No HVAC noise. No glaring issues. Well finished by contractors. Temperature was good. Solar gain was good. Seating was okay. Interior views amazing. Exterior views of downtown are just a tease. North and south views are well worth the wait. That good? Yes. 10-20 years worth of wait. Hmmm.

10+ years of construction for another Pacific Mall alike...

As far as I know, the latest is there will NOT be a library on the site as the library found it impossible to work out a plan that would allow them to share the site with housing and it will be market rental housing but nothing is yet decided

They move the library location again? It was in First Parliament then it got moved to here and now it is gone again...

And the current David Crombie Park Revitalization plan doesn't include Block 1 for this reason... So frustrating.

Also, what is the reasoning that it would be impossible? Doesn't make sense to me

Edit - NVM read the thread. 30 floors is pretty aggressive tho. I am thinking 15-20 floors. Honestly this one probably doesn't need to be a condo - just build the library already... It was last discussed in 2017, and it is almost 10 years.
