wow, glazing already... I wonder if this is just a test section or if they are going full speed ahead with it?

Sometimes, a project is so interesting structurally, I wish it could be left unclad. Right now, Burano's like a piece of sculpture. The cantilever is awesome!

Hold on, I didn't know that low-rise next to Burano was coming down, how did I miss that? What a shame.

It's coming down to make way for the new Women's College Hospital.

From College today I saw that there's an entire floor of glass glazing/cladding already!

hmm, it's Murano 's glass no? idential! there should be no suprise here.

 

[whatever]

It looks like it's more grey/tinted than Murano's glass. It's also an altogether different pattern.

I hope it's at least a slightly different tint, otherwise the cluster there will look really monotonous

Looks the same to me : ) the pattern came from staggering the panels between floors so we can't really tell at this point.

I agree with your other points - a slightly different tint would be nice.

It's been interesting and somewhat surprising for me to see both Burano and Shangri-La begin to rise. For some reason I expected the floorplates on both of the buildings to be larger than what they are. Not a bad thing by any means, I just expected bigger.

Wow, this tower is going to be slim.

 

[College Park]

For condos positioned like Burano I (as a potential buyer let's say) would prefer a less transparent glass, given proximity to street views and neighboring condos. I can see EVERYTHING in the lower units from College and Bay - the residents of those units will either live in a cave of blinds or live a life of daily exhibitionism.

the model made it look as if it was going to be black ala "X"...

Models almost never represent the cladding accurately. Remember One Bloor's model being all white or Ice's model being copper coloured? Half the time the models are just translucent.
