^ True but they've also recently done 300 Front and Aqualina recently too. So it really could go both ways still.

Aqualina isn't done yet.

Hahaha come-on, don't you know that people here judge a development before its built

Of course we do, and in this case the podium level cladding is suggestive of something that looks decent. It can still go wrong - but it hasn't gone that way yet (unlike certain aspects of Aqualina).

Monday evening:

First piece of cladding visible on the tower today, the grey piece you see in the middle is actually triangularly shaped and sticks out from the tower about 1 foot

Grey... just like Toronto's skies most of the year. How refreshing.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

So it is windowwall on the tower, or at least that portion of the tower. I'm surprised, to be honest. With the wind at that corner I was sure they'd need curtainwall, or a hybrid system like what they used at Ice

I wish they used some darker colored windows, to have some variety in the area, I actually like the blackish windows at Couture built by Monarch

 

[Miscreant]

Oh boy.

No one has noticed the base no longer is going to have the angled corner. A shame that ain't happening anymore. Look closely at the red beams. I don't recall hearing about a change in design.

I made a special trip downtown today to get some pictures of the cladding, since a lot of you are probably feeling anxious about it.

We've all seen this side already, though they installed a few more pieces.

On the north side of the tower is the new piece of cladding.

And from another angle:

Btw, one of the cranes is coming down this weekend
