Glad to see this building getting the facial treatment

(what.. that IS the proper term for it lol)

The exterior is already looking so much better!

Love the building and the results of cleaning it up so far make it look great.

Today. Actively cleaning the facade - an extremely loud operation:

That looks so nice now

I have to say there was a certain positive energy downtown on my walk today - TD Coliseum work wrapping up, this in full swing, Design District wrapping up and same with the buildings at King and Caroline. The Salvation Army was also either closed for the day or at least had no-one hanging around out front which made the area feel much cleaner. I also think Return to Office is helping with the downtown pedestrian activity.

Great shot that really shows the difference between cleaned and uncleaned.

I hope they're re-shingling/redoing the roof as well. That'll make it pop against the white facade.

The rendering shows not only a reshingling with historically accurate materials and copper corner accents, but an extension of the sloped roof north along MacNab St:

And the blacked framed glass , going to be a very nice save and add to the City, Once again well done by Core Urban

Yeah this building just needed some TLC.

I am still not sold on that rectangular wooden awning that cuts into the arch for the side entrance - why not give it a real entrance - aka the fabric covered dome that would have originally fit into an arch like that? The modern one just feels like it jarringly cuts into the architecture.

Honestly Core Urban? Please just rebuild the entire city for us. On your own. We will wait.

I keep forgetting to look at the renderings for some reason. That's gonna look nice.

Windows removed from the brick building:

Can't wait for the COOORNIIIIICE

Also amazing how well the brick cleaned up!

Are those brick stabilizer plates all over the top of the left window on the third floor there..?

Also looks like the brick might be buckling a bit on the same floor but on the window second to the right in
