^Most likely Steveve, as it acts as a temporary weather wall for the workers.

thedeepend I do like that art deco building you posted; very much so. That subtle green is fine with me. What makes me quiver is that green paneling that is above and below each window. I mean, what the hell is that? You know, that goddam green slab of glass with some exotic 'greeness'...

The entire tower is ugly if you ask me. From the turquoise/teal hue to the cringeworthy post-modern pastiche of cheap materials, I just don't like this thing. Is it me, or is the use of teal/turquoise/green just getting a little too ubiquitous in the downtown core? Are developers really this...

Certainly a great street-level presence for Don Mills and Sheppard. It's difficult for anyone to argue against a subway line begetting density.

How are they installing those? Pulling them up from the street and then what? Are there workers dangling in harnesses; installing the sign?

Yeah, no, that aqua green doesn't do it for me... not one bit. I can only imagine how dated and suburban that colour will seem in a decade.

^Oh my...

Those plastic potted plants aren't cheap. The smaller bushes retail for like $200+.... if they are lower middle class, they just went in to debt.

I can only hope he's harnessed in Steveve... it looks like he is.

Is it just me or do the mullions make this building look worse than it should? What's with the ubiquity of these mullions on nearly every building. They just cheapen the look in my opinion.

^Perhaps your sights were set on the other lofty aspects of the dining establishment.

I was under the impression that the Ritz hotel portion was going to be ready for the G20 summit. Was I wrong?

How many people will be moving in to Uptown and Crystal Blu when all is said and done? 2000?

Those red tinted windows do light up at night and change colours.

I'm replying to my own post but I thought I'd mention that tonight I saw them testing out the vertical strips of light scattered throughout the black facade on King. It really looks quite neat, and it changes the dynamic of the nightlife completely.

Yeah, I drove by the lighting; it looks pretty cool. I took a video of it on my phone but I can't find the stupid connection cable.
