Very beautiful effort, but I am begging aA to please consider other red brick stocks! There has to be more available than maroon iron spot LOL

This could have been really incredible if they used a vivid red brick

This is turning out to be one of the better looking buildings I have shot in the GTA, especially having real bricks on it. Like the brickwork.

I am wonder how the Laneway development across from it will have on it, especially the 75 feet view clearance. That 4 unit townhouse went to the committee of adjustments in August and only 3 of the 4 walls still stand of 2 buildings

More up on my site

Another unfortunate case of unrealistic renderings, I worry that the units might feel very dark. In the renderings they had these large, airy bricks for those facade bits, but the pics that Gairloch release today tell a different (and cheaper) story..

I look at it as a wall that allows in light...something one doesn't often get with a brick wall. If it was solid on the other hand, the unit would be much darker...

...so there is way to look at this as a glass half full here. However, what the quality of the finishings of all of this remains to be seen.

For the sake of the new residents who are paying a fortune to live here, I hope there is a robust plan in place to power wash this building regularly, otherwise those punctured brick walls will be covered in pigeon poop in no time. They need the team from the Campbell Street Lofts just down the street, who keep that building surprisingly tidy!

I'm not sure pigeons could roost comfortably in those spaces. Smaller birds, such as house sparrows probably could though.

Hadn’t noticed the metal grids before. Interesting! Taken 31 January.

yet another case of cladding that should have gone all the way down to the ground floor. buildings looks great from the third floor up, and mediocre on the ground and second floors. truly don't understand the inability to extend good cladding down to grade.

As per @dgto’s recent comment, this is an excellent vantage point to view this building, as it chops out the worst bit.

The punctured brick creates a neat effect from a distance.
