uggghh i hate canada tower... why are they using the country's name for an everyday short tower....... disgust

FCT might be short on the world building scale but it's the tallest building in Canada!

Does anyone know if they'll wash the newly installed glass panels when they wash the windows on the tower?

 

[MetroMan]

I don't know for sure but it seems obvious that they would. It's now a glass tower. Glass towers are cleaned from top to bottom regardless if the glass is opaque or transparent.

this is FCP (First Canadian Place)... I think he was talking about the proposed Canada Tower hotel a couple blocks north of here.

Excellent shots steveve, FCP is lookin' good. I only recently really noticed what an overall dramatic change the bronze laminated glass in the corners have on the building.

lol... it's addictive, and iphoto makes it too easy, i understand why it's overused (but it can have it's good uses!)

Here's another random pic from yesterday, the reflection from the TD Centre shows the apparent change between old and new,

Those dark corners really had a positive effect on the tower.

The closer this gets to completion the more dissatisfied I find myself. At first I was quite enthusiastic about this makeover... thinking the building would look sleek and refreshed once it was complete. But after staring at it for a while yesterday I realized the horrendous mess of antennae at the top of FCP will always keep it from looking 'good'.

They single handedly ruin the sleekness of the building. It's amazing that they would spend so much time and money to renovate the exterior and ignore the ugliest part of it. It's almost unbelievable. Perhaps they are intentionally keeping that part out of the renderings to surprise us? Wishful thinking I know...

Oh come on!
