This one's making an impact in the area. I'm interested to see how the cladding turns out, the renders are certainly funky to say the least. Sites like these are definitely the right parts of the city to intensify, I'd love to see all the 1 storey plazas in Scarborough redeveloped.

Yeah, although it's far from a masterpiece, I do think the colour accents if kept should make this pop with some visual interest.

I also found the quality of cladding on Mahogany's recent Madison View project to be reasonably decent:

Any colour is welcome as it's a pretty drab area along the main streets. I work nearby so I'll try to keep the thread updated as more cladding goes up.
