The amount of spandrel glazing on this building is starting to remind me of a habitable, glass version of the AT&T Long Lines Building in Manhattan...

Except where this is cheap, embarrassing spandrel, that's precast concrete panel clad with flame-treated textured Swedish granite faces. Big difference...

 

[NorthshoreCity]

No doubt there is a major difference in the quality of the materiality. I suppose the closer parallels would be referring to vision openings that are found within this project.

From now.

Oh God.
I just clued in that the patterny white stuff was not the final exterior. From far away it looked artistic but clearly it was construction material to be covered up with spandrel. Actually preferred it to this. lol.

So the entire top is going to be that horrid grey spandrel?

This is going to be a tremendously oppressive building from Spadina.

 

[neuhaus]

The shifty vertical window elements, the only remotely interesting design feature of the building, is lost in the sea of dusty grey spandrel.
It looks like the mothership to Crystal Blu condo, another grey spandrel dud.

 

[Bogtrotter]

Looks like an urban correctional facility.

 

[Miscreant]

Even if it wasn't built with trash materials. The massing is just completely wrong for the area. It's offensive.

This is College Street's tombstone.

[TheKingEast]

How is trash like this getting built in prime areas downtown?

 

[maestro]

Damn. Can no longer make fun of Waterloo.

I live down the street from this and every time I walk by this I get reminded of the original design.
