It makes me even more hopeful to see the McDonalds redeveloped in the coming years, to cover up part of this thing.

If it's night, this must be more photos of the RV that thinks it's a building.
Ok, I've seen worse. For example, in my fridge I have a margarine tub and the lid doesn't fit right.
This is the rear space behind the TCHC building. When the panels fly off the building, this is where they'll land.
"Look, you can have double height ballrooms, lounges, fitness centre, rooftop dog park or you can have exterior walls. You want walls? Of course you don't. What are you gonna do with a wall?"
Someone's gettin' a front row seat to the Drive Thru! Open 24 hours! Can I take your order?
Hoarding is coming down and close ups are coming up.

I want to save most of my comments for the later stages of completion, but there are a few things worth noting. This patch job is on the street-facing portion of the building. Love those mismatched colours.

Is there a pool in this building?

I'm not! At the end of the day, this project mattered. It was an attempt to leverage public land to provide a mix of housing types. It's transit and pedestrian-friendly. It's a step towards addressing the district's long-term population decline/stagnation. And they promised that it wasn't going to suck.

Good God this looks terrible. The cladding in particular is just unforgiveable. It's not even completed and it looks like it's falling apart. Imagine how it will look 10 years from now. (And then 20, 30...)

This is the kind of build which looks much more attractive from a certain distance... the massing is interesting, even the crisp white is OK.... it stands out quite nicely.
But then you get...closer.

Get that white paneling off the lowest levels of the podium and replace it with the brick and it will be less bad. Then remove those pretender Juliet balconies that make no sense and visually are just a mess. The street level glazing needs a complete re-do in a different form.......and fill in that nonsense glazing/empty space in the middle of the second floor, it adds less than zero value!
How disheartening. An architectural team actually thought this was passable, and the developer let this slide too.
