Today, this building hasn’t even had its windows cleaned yet since being built. It is a mess, it really is. The sidewalks are still not done.

The sidewalk thing is annoying.
I believe they will be done this year though. (hopefully)
I noted in this post:
YC Condos -- Yonge at College | 198.42m | 62s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza
^ seems to distract the eye which is quite humane. Looking up an onion chopper/egg slicer. AoD
That there is a line item for Yonge/Grenville streetscape improvements in this year's budget, in the amount of $547,000
So hopefully it gets done and looks like nice too!

Maybe it was from the same contractors who did the window walls... >.<

I sure hope you’re right. I have to walk on that strip of Yonge on a daily basis coming and going to work. I‘m so tired of seeing that mess. I also feel bad for the residents who live in that building, I can’ to imagine how awful it is to look through dirty windows all the time.The sidewalk thing is annoying.

IF the project goes ahead; I'm pretty sure that won't include washing the windows; that's up to the condo board!

every individual who was involved in bringing this project to life needs to be blacklisted from the world of architecture and development

I know you guys arent too fond of this one, but I actually think it looks decent from afar, ignoring the podium of course. The balcony patterns here are somewhat interesting and it's not blue...

Sidewalks still not done but they are still working on the building.
whatever

Oh, great, the anodized grey aluminium panels are a huge improvement over the painted grey HSS tubing...
I don't get it. Even something as simple as a stainless panel along there would make a big difference. Or black anodized panels instead of grey. Why spend the money for panels that look almost indistinguishable from the steel frame?

Cost money, and requires a good sense of aesthetics - the latter is especially bereft.

Canderel is a joke. Just plain and simply, it's clear they dont care about their projects and will "100% complete" them whenever they feel like it.

Sidewalks remain asphalt. Ground floor remains incomplete. Sunday, July 4th:

Worth noting, I already emailed Wong-Tam's office, and got a run-around.

But I also noted Yonge-Grenville streetscaping work in the budget for this year. Which I previously posted.

However, I just checked TOInview, and there is no construction showing for this area, by Transportation, Eco. Dev, Planning, or third parties. (for either 2021 or 2022)
