Welp...

Is there a reason the lighter grey spandrel couldn’t have been vision glass? Seems like it’s not really covering anything.

isn't only around 40% max of a residential building facade is allowed to be vision glass in Ontario since a the regs were changed a couple of years ago.
it's why we get these types of combinations ever since and no more all vision glass residential buildings anymore.

This building is way less than 40% glass, maybe more like 20%. So this is simply a design decision. Is it a good one in terms of aesthetics? Maybe not so much; budget-driven more likely.

The standard for "invisible" spandrel panels, ie, ones that match the vision glass seamlessly, has been set at East FiftyFive Condos. Anything less is a letdown, IMO. Sugar Wharf Condos, for example, looks like it's meeting that standard.

Here? Nope. Another example of The Cheapening at The Well.

another project using the "invisible" spandrel is AZURA condos. i hope other developrs learn from it.

Don't suppose it'll be too long before we get a glimpse of the cladding for the tallest residential building. Now that they're on to the tower it's really climbing quickly.

those arches are LVE!

I'm so happy we're getting exactly what we saw in the renderings! The arches look amazing, and I love how they used two slightly different stones!

WOW the terra cotta is beautiful!
Making sure this is the future destination for sure
