It's disappointing that the "white" frit in the glazing shown in the renders has ended up as grey, but I guess it was inevitable. Fortunately, it looks like there's less frit on the upper levels, and hopefully the reflectivity of the glass will compensate for it in the right light.

Yeah this (like all) curtain-wall will obviously change depending on light conditions and angle of photos... but @tstormers chose a pov where it looked quite spectacular.

The diamonds of CIBC Square are often stunning... but also flat and borderline unattractive from some angles/light conditions.

What's really disappointing is how the building changed from the original render and commercials. That first rendering was spectacular. Hopefully it still turns out nice really to bad this happens to so many buildings.

This project is progressing rapidly, and I am excited to see its transformation on the skyline over the coming months.
 
Moving fast now that they are forming the typical tower plates.

As much as I appreciate the novel height and some of the design elements of this building, boy is that a depressing picture. Every single building or manmade structure -- Depresso Grey. A literal Void of Imagination.

What a missed opportunity in a massive, three-tower development to have some (read: ANY) saturation, richness, or interplay of colour.

When did we lose inspiration as a society?
