Genuinely sorry for this potato cam shot just want to point out more taupe coloured window wall is up, along with Toronto-classic waist high mullions.

The orange and red bricks here look fantastic. Really gives this area, which is currently dominated by 50 shades of ice blue a jolt of warmth.

Also visible in the render are these U/C projects: BIG's King Toronto, The Taylor, 400 King W, 55 Mercer, the much hated Nobu Hotel, Maverick, and the also much hated Peter & Adelaide... did I miss any?

Walked by the other day and saw they've started cladding the upper section of the north tower. Unfortunately no pictures as it was dark out.
Glazing looked pretty good and it was hard to tell how the paneling looked. A pro for sure is that there appeared to just be two materials on the north face between glazing and metal (aluminum) panels, so it should be relatively clean looking by its simplicity and lack of back painted spandrel. On the negative front it seemed that there was a high amount of panels per section which may break up the uniformity of the look depending on how noticeable the gaps are between them. Will be keen to see some detailed shots at some point!

Ask and you shall receive. Not the best shots as they are pretty zoomed but you get the idea. This is the eastern side of the tower.

A more distant phone snap of the cladding in progress. In person the cladding takes on a bluer grey rather than the white in the renders. Still promising though.
