Hard to see in these photos but the rounded corners of the white cladding is unforgiveable and an eyesore that I cannot unsee - I will take a photo when I have a chance but picture the difference between curved glass and segmented glass but with metal flashing.
I can't imagine much of it will be restored at this point. I'm not sure what the exact plan is for this site, but I would imagine they still have to partially demolish this and install heritage retention structures so they can excavate inside.
not a lot of change visible from this vantage point unfortunately but what I did notice was that there seems to be a portion excavated deeper in the middle of the site. This is also visible in the top down view from @ProjectEnd s pilot friend.
I was admittedly a little confused when i first saw the darker window wall on this, but then upon checking the renderings it looks like this is purposeful and the only floor that will have this colouring - fingers crossed for the floors above
Forgive me if I am mistaken, but does this mean that Contract execution for all above ground stations is scheduled for early 2025 and contract execution for all underground stations are scheduled for late 2025? Or just Pape?
I just realized those slanted columns at the corner must be for the vertical white line feature of the building that runs up the sides - very interested to see how that element turns out!
