the brick was mandated by the st. lawrence historic committee (or whatever they call themselves).
besides, it's only the podium and i think it's a good compromise bc it's mostly glass above the 8th floor.

I agree. Especially for that part of town, the use of brick was a nice touch.
Wasn't this building supposed to be curvy though at one point?

I'd love see a bunch of Vu-style projects filling out the rest (non-Cityplace) of the Railway Lands West. Great massing, materials, proportions and street presence.
This sort of thing would also look great in the medium-rise parcels of the East Bayfront. The same type of design would look great with a yellow brick skirt as well (sort of a taller/heftier Market Square).

So if we wave hello on the street, will you see us ?
BTW, is that the view of the 8th floor amenities space, etc?
Um...If I see you, then yes...lol

I agree... you really can't go wrong with red brick. I like glass too....cement and stucco are meh to me though.

Yeah but, every single new building built or planned in the St Lawrence area has red brick. Just sayin', there are other (traditional ) brick colours .

it would be nice to see some of the newer projects use the traditional yellow brick around the st. lawrence area as a change.

... and there is heritage precedent in the area for yellow brick:

I've noticed some black brick onsite at the East Lofts. Could they be doing something different there?

/\ Aside from the fact that it has been shown in all the renders? Good to get some confirmation though.

FIRE at VU!
Turns out it was just a garbage bin on the property... can't help but wonder who's to blame for that. (Someone tossing a cigarette?)
I'm really loving everything about this project. It fits so well here and the materials are looking very high end.
And the view! Those western facing units will have THE vu/view.

I was at the sales office a few days ago. I'm looking for a 1+den but everything that was on the price list did not have any walkout balconies, only the french style.
Anyone know when they plan to release suites, specifically 1+den, with walkout balconies?
thanks.
