This is a very tall building, and in addition to installing new panels, they must first remove the existing cladding. There are many intricacies in this project that make it more advanced than a basic cladding job.

alright but seriously... i'm talking about hardcore pouring columns, etc... a re-clad on an existing building, shouldn't take as long as the time it takes to construct a building.

Don't forget that this isn't an empty building. There are large companies conducting business in that tower; pretty much around the clock.

I hate to say it, but it's still blue.

(And I haven't seen any photo in any context that doesn't make it look blue.)
 
In person, hard as I try, I can't see the "minty green" or blue hues that you guys are talking about. All I see is white.

The hue fluctuates throughout the day, based on lighting conditions etc. Sometimes it's minty, other times it's white.

Here's a photo taken weeks ago, where it's bright white, thanks to the direct sunlight.

Ever-so-slightly out-of-date from the beginning of the weekend, but quite dramatic, shot by a friend, from Gläs:

Much more up-to-date, but not-so-dramatic, shot by me, from the top of the Ritz:

Note the difference in the colouration of the two walls at the same time: the angle that you see this building from greatly affects the tonal variations in the new panels.

Cool.
