It looks pretty clear in the rendering's that isn't just fritted glass. This is one of the most exiting projects being built - by the way if you go around to the back you will see there is brick cladding along the base/loading dock area? It looks just like Pinnacle on Adelaide. There are also a couple of windows installed at the back as well (not the final glass to go up the entire building - looks like that will be just in that area there).

 

[hihihi]

Went back to the site to get some pics and wouldn't you know... cladding is up! on the west side of the building... hard to catch and not visible from King Street

Looks like that glass with the insulation is just to close up the floor and not be in complete darkness. Maybe they have a construction office in there?

If the cross-bracing ends up being nothing more than fritted glass, then there's little to get excited about either.

It's been confirmed here several times that it will not be glass, but metal of some type.

this thing is flying up due to such a small floorplate

I just realized how aA dominates architectural design when it comes to tower development near important historic landmarks: SP!RE across from St. James Cathedral, the condo towers in the Distillery District, and now this tower by the Alex. They've produce polished designs so far. Hopefully this one will be their most spectacular tower yet.

Hey been lurking the site for a long time, appreciate all the updates I've got! Thought it was about time to post something back. Caught these pics today.

Thanks cman17! We will look forward to more from you.

There's a good chance people will be drooling uncontrollably over this one: that's hot looking glass.

Other local architects/developers should take note of the lack of plasticky grey mullion caps and spandrel. A world of difference.

Now THAT looks promising. Welcome aboard cman!

danng, look at that beautiful glass! even without the exterior lattice the building would look phenomenal!

 

[innsertnamehere]

Walked by this yesterday, it looks incredible.

 

[DarkSideDenizen]

True Quality. Can't wait to see the criss-crossing accents.

In this first picture what's that black 'ramp' sticking out from a floor - like a balcony? I've seen this on other buildings. I wonder what keeps it from tipping over and out. And prevents it from causing that floor space to dip...or is concrete dried fully by now...
