Looking at the original renderings - did we all just presume they changed the cladding colour? This is what was originally shown after all.

No, we figured that out the first day they put up some cladding: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-menkes-giannone-petricone.29792/post-2110167

Plus it was confirmed when they test painted a section of the cladding red in July: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-menkes-giannone-petricone.29792/post-2116844

I don't pass by this part of downtown very often; that is why it felt like it was not too long ago when this site was still a gas station for me.

I am looking at the photos by @reinventingthewheel and a lot of that work was done yesterday.

Was talking to a colleague this morning and apparently it is a 3 stage layering process to add the colour on the panels.

Curtain walls going up on 11. Makes sense to follow 10, they are the most tucked away from construction now.

Im kind of a little surprised they just stopped spraying. That’s totally gonna leave a seam.

I still ask "Why did they not use coloured concrete in the first place?" Despite the ghastly coloured concrete on https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...0-32m-13s-dream-cobe-architects.29829/page-39 one can get pretty decent colouring with concrete.

Turning into a decent looking corner. Goes to show one doesn't; need to break the bank to produce something inviting. Variety, colour, texture go a long way as do the trees and heritage lamp posts.

You mean the salmon colour? It's the best looking part of that project lol.

You may be right, now the institutional grey concrete cladding and windows are going in, the salmon parts do distract the eye. :->
