While I am still excited to see the cladding's colour gradient become more prominent as it rises, I think I'm one of the few that would have actually preferred to just keep the cladding as the solid deep red colour all the way up the tower. Nevertheless, these are still my favourite builds going up at the moment.

As a twin tower keeping them all red might have been a bit much. It sure is a lovely shade of crimson though.

I also find myself wishing they kept the entire towers the same solid red, but looking forward to seeing the full effect of the ombre, and hope it changes my mind.

Hey don't be sombre about the ombre bud. Chin up

That red cladding is just so sexy to see on a tower. Have there been any rumors on potential commercial tenants yet?

The black base looks great. Getting very curious to see the railing glass. Based on everything I see so far I have faith it will be very good.

Seems like they are able to do about 1 floor of cladding per week. This entire project is moving along quickly.

What railing glass? If you are talking about the podium, it will not be glass. It is a perforated metal panel with a custom pattern.

Very visible from Dow’s!

Righto. I remembered that, I think I just said glass as a matter of default.

Thinking of that twin Claridge tower now right by Tribeca and that didn't end up being a very good look. No shot this one will look as poor as that though. I can't think of any other buildings in the city that uses perforated metal panel for balcony coverings.

Odenak looks striking from the Ottawa River Parkway. That red really pops. Seems to be at around 30 floors, roughly the same height as Ascent.

Not sure if others have noticed yet, but the south side of the west tower has 3 colours of panels visible now…sorry no pic, was driving
