The pillars in pictures 1 and 3 are right next to each other, and have been painted in different colours, which leads me to believe that maybe neither is the final colour?

I am seeing grey, white and blue...I hope it's blue though, but I can't say for sure.

(I am also wondering if Mr. Mars is adorning a hard hat and a yellow vest to ninja some of those shots, goodness!)

If I recall, Grey was the colour the steel shipped in, White was the primer colour, and Blue is potentially the final colour.

Yes, most of the steel was painted grey on arrival (but, strangely, some was unpainted.) Though I like the blue myself, I suspect some of it will remain white and agree that they are colour testing the blue for, at least, some areas. I guess we all need to be patient ;->

Grey is the factory finish - white is the intumescent fire proofing layer, blue is the top coat.

Grey is the factory finish - white is the intumescent fire proofing later, blue is the top coat.

Intumescent? Sounds like it needs Viagra, therefore blue

Trees planted in the Jarvis tree pits/trenches today.

I understand they will do the Front Street streetscape with Market Lane Park, next spring. Hope they will mesh properly but the park is PFR and the sidewalk under Transportation.

Just bumping this image from a 2013 UT article that shows the entire steel structure with a blue colour

It's hard to believe we're getting anything the least bit impressive after all that value engineering. Rogers Stirk Harbour is doing wonders with what they have to work with.

Last Fall-Panel shot I promise; I just enjoy the contrast:

More painting today on the Market Lane Park side, I would say the blues have it!

Looking forward to some live along that alley/park/lane.
