From the images provided, the white appears to be a protective coating for installation and construction protection, which when removed exposes the red precast brick. There's absolutely zero possibility the builder would paint or stain these by hand post-installation - that would be financially and logistically unfeasibile. All they need to do is peel off the coating later and boom - they're done.

I have never seen precast panels applied where the brick is covered in a protective layer that is later removed. We have seen at least three other projects in the city, however, where the brick-patterned precast has been stained after the fact though, the largest being Plaza's King West Life Condos in Liberty Village, and it was at least the side of this project if not larger. KWLC's application wasn't so great as they only used one colour on the surface, whereas another project, (formerly) VanDyk's Backyard Condos in Etobicoke first condo phase used multlple colours of stain to build up a more believable brick look. That one is recent enough that we have a few photos of it starting here.
