Um, are they allergic to cladding or something? Seems like they're almost topped out!

 

[androiduk]

Finally preparing for cladding

Mods: The Committee approved a height increase from 74.5 metres to 85.31 metres back in April.. not exactly sure what that translates to in terms of number of storeys.. probably something like 25ish

Not sure if this will work on my phone but here's a photo of some of the brick installed on the rear of the building.

There's a lot more brick on Florian's lower floors now, and in our famously warm late afternoon January sun, it looks much purpler than out of the sunlight in the post above. Have a look.

Mock brick?

 

[Solaris]

this looks like 'real' brick IMO ... notice the mortar joints below the bottom row of bricks

 

[ganjavih]

Real brick makes me happy.

 

[Edward Skira]

Are you sure they are real? Look at the second picture. Why does there seem to be three sections of pre-cast brick? There are lines between the sections. You can see the line in the last picture as well. Also the middle section's colour is lighter.

It's my understanding that there should be curtain wall glazing arriving soon.

 

[whatever]

It was more the lack of a lintel that made me wonder if it was faux brick. The dangling chokers also suggest precast

13 January 2011:

Brick looks hot, whether it's precast panels or not, purplish black depending whether you're depressed or not.

Nice pics UD, Florian looking good, also noticed that the cladding on FS has moved up a bit...............
