The concrete "balcony" would probably look different if they are using flat curtainwall units. But you're right curved glass is expensive - though MaRS did use a little bit of it at the ground floor.

Where? I can't recall seeing any. Interior perhaps?

The "two orange sisters" rising into view today:

Bay & Edward. I'm loving the glass (it looks even better in person) -

 

[CanadianNational]

The glass on this building is rich and delightful. It works surprisingly well as a kind of modern ornament that hasn't really been seen before - while being wholly functional. It does wonders for Bay at this location, right where it needed it. I thought that the St. Michael's Hospital addition was a strong building from D&S, but this one takes the cake. It's a real pleasure to look at - not something I usually expect from institutional buildings. It's especially a treat, because this building had a lot in its setup that could have easily had it become a bulky, efficient, laudable depressant. But it's exceeded expectations, and just keeps looking better and better as it goes.

Southcore and a lot of the neo-modernist stuff going up now should sit up and take notice. More of this kind of quality, please!

Huge impact coming here. Until of course that parking lot is developed.

Today, with Burano poking in behind:

Louvers are up on the mechanical floor cladding. Shots from earlier this afternoon.

That glass is just shimmering, imo its the most interesting/best cladding(along with RBP) in Toronto.

drove by this today. gorgeous building. will hopefully anchor that stretch of bay.

as great as all of the 70 story tridel condo's on the waterfront are... buildings like this are the real building blocks of our city, imo. this one is one of the most underrated builds out there.

 

[condovo]

^^ It's hardly underrated. Just about everyone seems to like it and has stated as such.

 

[Northern Magus]

Huge impact coming here. Until of course that parking lot is developed.

If they were taking bets, unless the global economy really flies off the rails over the next 5 months, I'd expect that to happen within the next 2 years.

from Nov. 25: this building is definitely making a prominent view, especially with that glass.
