Some phone camera shots (March 13th) from the top of Building A (West Tower) MPH. The Derrick Crane is being assembled to remove the Tower Crane next week. We're really pleased with how slick the louvres and mullions look on Building B (red).

Yup the colour choices here are fantastic.
I'm still not supportive of the long podium wall of this development and its uses. But the cladding and colour choices used here, along with the execution makes this better than 90% of developments in this city.

I don't mind the podium uses, because it probably speed up construction by a year or two. Parking is obviously better underground, but if we want more housing built faster, seems to be a decent compromise for this project

First Rushden Station Crane Coming Down as Construction Advances | UrbanToronto
Rushden Station in Toronto’s East End reaches a milestone as the west tower tops off and prepares for crane removal, while the central and east towers continue to rise. A close-up view from atop the building highlights ongoing construction.

Don’t get me wrong—I like the blue colour of the left tower and how the lack of balconies gives it a clean look. It’s just that the base is one colour, while the three towers are different colours. Using a single colour throughout would’ve looked better, or even a more natural tone like the one used in the Roq City development. Little stylistic choices like that can make or break a development and even enhance our skyline.

It looks like a variant of RGB. /shrugsomeone help me understand the colour choice here

ROQ city is the positive example here? The Frankenstein's historic preservation red brick corner on an otherwise Entirely Grey building? I personally would have done these buildings as a gradient- green, blue, red rather than green, red, blue and the podium is maybe a bit loud but I will take this over most attempted "pops of colour" on grey or white buildings any day. Jewel tones look good!
