Why that shade of grey? Why the same ugly grey coloured mullions? This could have been way less offensive. I have come to terms with it now though.

I agree! The smallest changes, like colour or even frosted white glass on the balconies, could have made a huge difference here. I have not come to terms with this building, it pains me to just walk past it!

I appreciate that they're keeping the rebuilt building at the corner of Granby and Church as shitty as it was in the beginning. Right down to the fine details of the low quality windows.

Experimentation with new colours and materials? That happens once or a twice a decade. LOL The last time was probably the shift from green to grey.

The 'backward' balcony glass on the lower level of the podium looks odd. Surely it could have been installed to match the balconies above. Is it perhaps unfinished?

Still trying to understand why they couldn't use real brick on the podium? How much were they really saving by using the "brick" panels?

Can the derrick dismantle the entire building before we move onto the next crane?

Doesn't look that bad in that sea of ugliness

Agreed. However, up close it looks incredibly cheap and frail.

Saying that it doesn't show in a sea of ugliness sounds like an awful excuse for the aesthetically bankrupt quality of the product. I mean, I wonder just how that sea came about.

It's a crime against urbanity.
