    I love this optimism. 🙄

    This steelwork is really pushing me to my limit...😬 As always best guess and I appreciate the varying angles.

    Yes I was referring to those. You can see in the photos they flirt between a champagne/silver and a very light brass depending on the light. Once you put these 100m+ in the sky though lighting changes quite a bit from test panels on the ground so trying to put some educated guesses together.

    As cladding goes, and based on the irl pictures we've seen, I suspect it's going to be somewhere in between the architectural drawing (silver/champagne) and the artistic renders (golden/brass). You can see in my drawing below the difference (these are both using the eyedropper from the...

    Suppose the side of a building on Bloor wasn't 5-star enough for them.

    Toronto Ontario Court of Justice Toronto | 95.7m | 17s | Infrastructure ON | Renzo Piano

    There's also no leaves on the trees so not really a fair time for judgement (unless we're talking ways in which we can make winter less grey in which case I'm all ears 😅).

    Think it really depends on the light. You can see in the second photo it's got a brassy finish to it. Most of the renders have suggested a more muted brass (there's hasn't been a bronze tone to it since the first iterations way back when).

    I should probably get started on drawing the cladding then...

    Toronto Massey Hall Revitalization at the Allied Music Centre | 48.46m | 7s | KPMB

    Nice to see some effort on an otherwise completely blank wall. Reflections should be a lot of fun from here.

    That horizontal beam added on in Benito's pic should be this circled area. Should be a pretty complicated collection of steel, rebar and concrete as the tower elevator core will sit directly above it.

    I think he means the fact that the render from a few years ago and the live cam from a few days ago have the trains in the same spot. The answer to that is that's just one of the places where they keep the cars when not in use.

    Still need to update the height but waiting on full approval on that one...so there may be more to go than this shows!

    Supporting docs is disabled for me! Hopefully I can find a fix as this will severely impact my progress drawings 😅

    No signs of anything from Dec 23 but the new documents map is also a terrible experience so that may be on me!

    Precast on the residential podiums looks promising. I think we're tantalizingly close to seeing some glass go up!

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Moynihan was also done on separate land (it's an extension not a renovation). The original Penn station still sits below MSG. Meaning it's an irrelevant comparison because Union is renovating the existing, still in-use station whereas the Penn addition had the majority of the work done in places...
