I think it's the weird disconnect between quality material and the more valued engineered stuff (painted brick, really?) that's throwing me off here...

...that said, it certainly has some interesting shapes and textures so far which hasn't gone over into Kirkor jankyland quite yet. Although, I'd like see where this is all going before I pass final judgement on it.

I want to like this, heck I did based on the renders. But this is a dogs breakfast...or to put it more intelligently, an eclectic architecture that reminds me of a strange, derivative post modern stylization. There are good moments in this, but I can't see past it's faults both thematically and in terms of materiality.

We're one step closer to them adding the cladding panels... then changing them... then turning the plans upside down, sideways, then realizing they were the wrong plans, and restarting again

Almost wrapped all the way around. At this pace, they might be done prepping it to be cladded by Thursday or Friday.

Odds and sods…

They have done a bit of work on the heritage building with new window stones and up lighting. Taken 22 February.

Can't wait for the day this "restoration" is restored.

The health centre apparently opens in two months.

I can't believe this is the finished product. I' hopeful that the finishing touches will be done in time. I still like the colour!

I can't believe this is being built in Toronto. Looks like something out of Copenhagen.

you mean 12 months?

According to someone working on the project it is late Spring. I think that the cladding is the last major item. If you look in the windows a lot is finished.
