Yes indeed. !! We need a variety of other colours rather than the blue green glass facade look for this area.

I'm particularly interested in seeing how this brick will be set and constructed along the great podium and façade. I'd have to wonder if they'll use a possibly cheaper option like 561 Sherbourne (Or one of those nearby projects) with brick on concrete blocks, or actual brick construction.

561 has no brick. ? Maybe you are thinking of 365 church?

If it's the Shelby project I think it's being put up in the precast brick way. This structure will probably be built in the same manner because of construction costs.

365 Church has brick? No, I meant the Shelby dvlpment, but couldn't think of its name.
There are different kinds of brick and precast panels going up these days, and you can't always tell which kind you're looking at when they're going up.
Some of them are all precast concrete with the front moulded to look like bricks, but others include real brick embedded into precast-backed panels.
Whichever type being used, yes, it's cheaper than trying to lay brick in traditional methods 40 storeys up (or even 4 storeys up), but claims are that the panels will last maintenance-free longer and will provide better insulation than the traditional method. No wonder why they are being used in more applications.

Hope to see more of a mix of brick and glass buildings in this city. To balance the lost of some old brick structures being torn down.

This has been added to The 120m List. @interchange42 I have the legal address of this (at least on the drawings) as 283 Adelaide St W if you want to update the database file.

Nice to see they're getting ready to dig. I think this is going to be a fantastic development.

This development will be key for this area. Very excited.
