Yes, the first two floors of this building are really appalling. If only they just continued the brickwork down to grade...

Unless there are 20 foot cedars blocking the entire ground realm, and entrances, along the east and south side of the building, it's not going to undo the damage of that horrible cladding choice....they couldn't even choose a dark color to contrast with the light grey precast.
Very Toronto to make such a horrible choice at the ground realm

either it is two tones of red fins, or its another mistake and they'll take the cladding all down again...

Lo and behold, the fins have come off and the panels are three slightly different shades of grey. HERE WE GO!!

This project has been a real hit and miss....as they've seem to splurge on some cladding while cheapening out on others. And I'm not sure it's really working... /sigh

Hey guys… I don’t think it’s gonna be open for April 17th… just a hunch.

They’ve been taunting us with those same few panels for the past few months

this actually makes me very confused as to what they decided to paint and why. that brick painting scheme at the arch makes no logical sense to me, unless they are now in the process of stripping the red 'paint' or whatever it is

yea the unpainted parts almost look intentional, but im not sure what the intention is lol
tbh i dont hate the red.
the warehouse building looks great with the repainted lettering and new windows

They are probably just using extra leftover bricks to fill in areas because they are the correct size / texture and can be tinted to match
This building is a bit of an oddball though - it's kind of a mutant that was expanded various times over the years. Given the industrial location and use of the building, it's unlikely that matching bricks and aesthetics were a priority when these additions were built.
