Murals in the making…

Nice glass…

Cladding installation at both ends…

There’s a certain sheen along some curvy bits.

I read back in the thread but didn't see any discussion of this--is there any reason they painted the heritage building on the corner bright orange?

Taken 12 July. Just realized that the bottom of the public art disc is reflective and that the threads move subtly in the faintest breeze. The atrium of the centre is very nice. Still some work to be done.

This place is getting full on smexy here… <3

Edit: Yeah, that’s probably a weird thing to say…and maybe a little disrespectful for the messaging this building will ultimately convey. But it is rare event to see something being built that gives off such delightful surprises the more it reveals itself in its progression to the finish line, IMO. It’s a joy to be cherished from my point of view..and for what that’s worth.
