Toronto Telus House - 25 York Street | 136.24m | 30s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

Yep, that's the picture that convinced me to move my company to the Union Tower!

Ah, marketing.
 
Next time I post any renderings I'll make sure there are no female office worker distractions :)

Back to the topic: Is anybody disappointed with the change in glass tint?
 
Construction Status (August 9, 2008) ... sorry kind of blurry
 
Too early to tell. I need more of it to go up to decide.

Look at a large rendering, such as on-site and you will see that the rendering wasn't lying to us.

The glass does indeed look a bit darker but there will be lighter glass in front all the way up the south and north facades of the tower portion, and the sides will have metal slats/vents in front of the windows. This should lighten the look of the dark, smokey glass. :)
