Over and over again. We get the same glass. What's up with the love for the mint toothpaste colored back painted glass?

Pretty clear that there are two different glazing products here, no?

That would excuse the color then. ?

That's a bit like arguing that one's colour palette is varied because one's selected two different shades of beige.

It's an office building - those glass panels should be white, not a toothpaste colour (created when placing green-tinged glass over a white backing). Not many excuses for using subpar glass in 2019 on an office building. But with Toronto developers...

@ProjectEnd was just trying to make a funny. Don't mind him.

Taken January 1, 2020:

The 4 cranes in the foreground are for Menkes Sugar Wharf development while the 2 cranes in the background are Pinnacle's.

My how different this view will be on January 1, 2025.

Nice to see 75 on the Esplanade will make a little dent in the view from this angle.

Bingo. The issue isn't the glass. It's all the effing blueish greys and teals. Why not red glass? Why not gold?

And more and more squat boxes, this one taking up a lots of ground space. I wonder what the overall impression of the grand waterfront avenue will be if and when a rail line is built.

FWIW the majority of this building is going to be a dark, almost black glass curtainwall, so we may actually appreciate the division between podium and tower when it's all said and done.

At least the mint green glass should only be on the Harbour Street side. Assuming all goes well, the Queen's Quay side should look pretty good.

First tower glass. It looks darker in person:

I appreciate that they're going forward with the smaller, recessed pieces.
