This building with the glowing top really stood out in the late 60's as viewed from a certain notorious building on Bloor Street.

Rochdale College? Surely those folks didn't need to have actual glowing building tops in order to see glowing building tops.

As usual, great pics but why are there orange traffic pylons on some of the 'ledges"??? Have CF realised that the solid white siding is 'a bit much"? :->

Not sure if anyone noticed (I don’t expect anyone to look at this mess so no big deal if you haven’t), but there is a light feature on the crown that tries to mimic the original. Looks like bars of light behind frosted glass on the upper level.

So, any plans for removing the cladding and restoring the original look?

That's all one can hope for at this point. Restoration 20-30 years from now.

It’s not *offensive* in the photos without the ground floor, if still unattractive, but damn, that ground floor… who in the world thought that was a good idea?

They're the general contractors, not the architects / designers.
Well done on the implementation side.
Not at all on the design side.

 

[Redroom Studios]

yes, well said! the design is jarring and looks like half of it is still under construction, but the quality of the work and materials looks excellent.

Ground floor and the roof line, why is every corner different??

...I'm not sure the poor folks who had to the job putting up that polished bathroom tile excrement should ever be blamed for doing so. They did what they had to do. And I hope they got paid well for it.

I've become numb to the unfortunate recladding of the tower, until I see the street level. Absolutely ghastly.
