Not even particularly concerned with materials on this one. I like that it is a wall-to-wall building, i'm sure they will have to maximize the amount vision glass on the front and back sides. This is great scale, and a good use of this site. Good job so far Cidex!

Tough to be concerned much with materials on this. It’s absolute urban filler. Modest height, mid block, and will be all but invisible as the empty lot on the west side gets developed (eventually)
But, they desperately need to slap a mural or even some bold colouring on that west side. That’s a big blank concrete wall.

There is no reason there should be any spandrel on the south face of this one; but Cidex.

It will be obstructed by the balcony railing. It doesn't bother me having the large panel hiding the HVAC. I have concerns with Cidex pulling off the yellow balcony slabs and different shades of balcony glass. It's narrow infill. It can still turn out awful.

They are going to paint the sides, the development was appealed when first proposed a few years back, and the city forced them to add something to the blank walls so residents nearby don't just stare at grey concrete or EIFS.

Love it. Completely forgettable but perfectly functional: maximizes the plot without being awkwardly tall + no parking + built into a train station + 1 block from the river pathway + 3 blocks from CO-OP. Like a Tokyo infill.

Agree with @CBBarnett. I love the massing, and the way the balconies overlook the train station.

Windows installed exactly 5 floors behind current slab, interiors presumably right behind. These crews are flying! Might set a record for occupancy

I'm really liking this building more and more. The only downfall is the lack of windows on the east and west sides, which is probably due to fire regs, but it's turning out to be a nice little development. I'd like to see more of these kinds of buildings in the city. East Village with several large podiums could use a few boutique sized buildings like this.

no windows on the west side is a nice feature, cant see discovery pointe

Good job on this Cidex! Happy to see some true mid-block, wall-to-wall buildings being built in sub-prime locations. If we’re using the often used definition of “good filler” this is exactly it.

Final floor is done. Now, not only no one in the new building will have a view, but half of the people in the old one lost theirs.
