Wow hard to believe that was 6 years ago we were bitching about this project. 18 October 2012:

Wow what a streetwall! This will be interesting. Too bad it's all glass instead of using some brick or something.

When other builders manage, depending on the floor plate, between four and six typical floors per month, here is a perfect example of why this project will be seven years before early purchasers of upper floor suites can take possession. In over a six week period, from September 5th to October 18th, this project has moved up by three floors - from forming the sixth floor to forming the ninth floor.

Sept 5th:

^But you can see this project doesn't have typical point tower floorplates so far; and also there was that transfer floor slab (thicker) between the podium & tower plates. Takes time.

Oh God. Oh God. Black mullions and poopy-brown-grey spandrel.

Conservatory Group strikes again!

 

[whatever]

Oh, come on. It's in an alleyway facing a gas station that's probably going to be developed in the near future anyway. I don't have high expectations based on the developer, but it's still a little early to slag them

15 December 2012: The orange stripes surprised me. Doesn't really work though--it's a dated-looking generic tower really designed in reaction to the popularity of early aA glass towers from c.2003. Think of it as Murano without the A.

 

[AlbertC]

That orange definitely looks cheap, and appears to be a lame attempt to create visual interest on an otherwise dull cladding design. This is looking like a poor-man's Florian.

While Im not optimistic about this tower or the developer, I will say its hard to pass final judgement until it is at least somewhat clothed, and socks alone don't count to me.

Love the orange stripes ! Saw em in person today, may be the only redeeming feature in this development.

I agree. It's way too early to pass judgement on projects that are in this phase of development. I get the sense that people like b!tching on here just for the heck of it. Last I checked, there's no prize for being the first to critique a building.
