The transition from white to brown panels is really awful. The entire building mass is black white and grey and a random pop of cheap brown panels in the town houses. Awful.

Whole-heartedly agree. The more I've been paying attention to the design choices, the more I'm left frustrated. I've got a pretty big background in art and the lobby choices and colours behind the pillars are super shit. I actually slapped my head and said "what we're they thinking" seeing those brown panels.

I've got a mind to join the condo board just to redo some of these elements, but that's probably silly. I keep walking over to it hoping they changed it for the better...The design team should be embarrassed.

The rental portion of the Minto Westside portion, the north side of the building along Niagara, is now occupied, with several move-ins over the long weekend. Balcony furniture, including a child's stroller, can be now be seen.

If you keep looking, you keep finding more.

My guess... a second crew will rappel down and fill the missing spots and adjusts the gaps.

Some panels have exposed screws.

The detailing here is so poor. I walked by the other day and was amazed at how many of the panels were damaged or installed incorrectly.

Awful. Really questioning any Minto buildings now for this type of poor construction and design

I'm going to walk by on my lunch and judge for myself.

Will be great to have this in the neighbourhood

Interesting...............Whole Foods was once destined for this corner.

Their Canadian expansion seems to have come to a complete stop.

These 2 shots of yours are particularly brilliant! Love that! You could seriously sell that as a print!

Thanks! Google Pixel Camera (sadly not sponsored) and mother nature did most of the work.

I find that this building looks a lot better with a little distance...
