Hopefully there won't be a significant delay due to Covid-19 pandemic.

The delay is, as usual, lack of $$$$. The project has been split into two, the in-water pipes are phase 1 (funded) and the boardwalk is phase 2 (which is not).

White cladding panel installation progressing. Shot from my balcony in the Distillery District. Jan 19, 2021.

Grey skies sure don't make this look any better. I hope the exterior finishing lessens the clunkiness that I see here on this prime waterfront site. This is my impression and I note that others find this project attractive.

Horizontal white framing has made an appearance.

It's a good building with lovely massing... but it bothers me that it would've been a *great* building with just a few small changes.
The metal faux-wood paneling is really unfortunate. In a perfect world, it would have been real wood, but even in the absence of that, darker brown paneling would've sufficed to make the contrast work a lot better. Secondly, I really dislike how light the grey aluminum is... again, I feel it would've made the contrast of the building pop just that extra bit. For reference, I (very roughly) photoshopped one of TheSix's pictures from December to show these changes:
I also think that it's unfortunate the white paneling on the building ends isn't cleaner. For my taste, it's just a bit too clunky:
I also think the colouring changes would make the above "inward" section a little less dull.
