This thing is starting to fly up. Love it.

Just a small contribution today, November 23rd, 2021; entirely shot from Bremner Blvd:.

First, just as you get past SkyDome (yes I said that); walking east, 160 is just peeking out from behind the Intercontinental:

Now a clearer view from Bremner + Simcoe, regular and zoomed:

SkyDome (yes I said that)

You called by its name, I fail to see the need to qualify that.

November 24, 2021…nice new glass

 

[shammyjammy]

Oh.. wow.. I can't think of a single office building of this size that uses clear glass. Definitely not what I was picturing.

 

[ushahid]

me neither. but i will keep my judgement until a floor or two is covered with glass.

It is hard to say for sure from the renderings but this could be just for the lobby.

 

[Lovestallthings]

I hope they keep the same glass through out. Will look fantastic

 

[whatever]

Neat. I'm surprised they have a truly bent frame like that, and they didn't keep the interior mullion vertical. The engineering on that looks interesting. Is that a pressure pad at the top of the big pane? And is there a snow melt system on the upper piece that slants out to the street? I'm surprised there's no gutter or drain on it?

Is that black thing on the bottom of the glass going to stay like that?

Is that black thing on the bottom of the glass going to stay like that?

It looks too industriously scuffed, so I am going to wager a no. It's either covers or is waiting on something to be added when all is said and done.

...but don't quote me on that though, as I've already mistaken a grinding wheel replacement for a 12" vinyl record during my tenure of posting here. So what do I know? >.<
