I always thought that was brick on the lower levels. Will it be added later or was I wrong?

Fake bricks? And people are paying real money for these condos? Unbelievable. What's next? Insul-brick siding?

funny how those outer forms have each risen to different levels... makes it look like a giant puzzle or something.
Seeing as the "red brick" is just a faux finish it could still be applied over the black sections. Did anyone notice how it was applied on the low rise building?

Thanks for the photos casaguy.
I think the east side (which those photos show) was never intended to have brick.

When I look at the rendering closely I only see brick on the south side and possibly on the west side.

PCL is utilizing a new technology that encloses both the level under construction and the five levels under during construction. It will improve health and safety conditions and provide a more stable interior working environment. It is also intended to speed up construction - especially in the winter as trades won't be as exposed to the elements.
This project is essentially testing the new system, so it was slower at the start, but should speed up as any issues are ironed out. If it works out well it is likely we will see the same system applied to other projects around the city in the future.

These are not official renders, but clearly brick is only on the south side of the Montage Tower.

I'm looking forward to seeing the overhang on NEO constructed.

What? They won't spring for some extra fake brick?

Actually.... I passed by Montage not too long ago and the same black trim is applied to all 4 sides of the tower, right down from the base to about the 5th floor or so, where they are currently with the windows. Perhaps there will be no red pre-cast on Montage?
