The first cladding appears. It doesn't look great. So very gray.

Looks like somebody beat me too it

Uh oh

I guess they couldn't afford curtain wall!

At least it's a lighter gray (but yeah, it's gray), and at least there are no waist-height mullions: the floor-to-ceiling windows definitely lessen the pain of window wall.

This building will be all about the balcony railings anyway. We'll barely see the window wall.

Today. Nice massing, too bad about the "Toronto gray" spandrels

The tower is now clearly rising above the base of the building. Other things I noticed; a lot of block being laid on the first floor and the parking lot beside the building was closed for renovation.

Also, three floors of glass installed

So I went on some of the Canadian window wall manufacturers' websites just to look at their product lineups. Do you know what I found out? And I swear to you: this is true. One hundred percent unadulterated honest truth. They offer spandrel in colors other than grey! Can you imagine? Cheerful colors, elegant colors, bright colors, stylish colors... All sorts of colors! But no, here in Toronto, we can have it in any color we'd like, as long as it's grey. We are a northern city, after all. Greys go well with all the dirty snowy slush on the ground in the winter...

Looks like the parking lot is open again. Does anybody know what was going on?
