Here are some shots I took today (Thu. Nov. 13) of the new cladding on the King Street side - the side is now complete so these are already outdated....

Can we get these dudes cracking a whip down the street on King at Brant?

Blown away by not only the quality here but how fast they're adding floors and installing cladding. They'll be onto the middle section of the tower in a few months if this pace keeps up!

Amazing! I’m seeing ‘Easter Island’ faces.

it's kind of a shame that the corners aren't handled any better :/

The condo corporation is going to have a fun time replacing this cladding after a few decades when it's in need of replacement. One hopes they'll be given blueprints or schematics for how to manufacture it again when the times comes.

The corners look ok to me. Doesn't look like they could have been done any other way with this pattern?
Aside from the gaps, wish the edges could have been welded to the front piece.

It is really hard to believe how good (great) this cladding is. In Toronto no yet!!!
This is said often for much lesser buildings in this city, but this building will be a landmark.
Toronto's best residential skyscraper! There, I said it.

Great rendering, but I'm personally glad the facade will stand out on its own merit.

I waited 15 years to see this calibre of architecture in Toronto. Finally we can say we have 2 world class skyscrapers worthy of global recognition and can compete in the world stage. The One is also on that list but I think behind Forma, which is bolder and more striking.
