Concord, for the final "crowning" phase of their development:
"Yeah, make it as generic and uninteresting as possible. Then tack a maple leaf pattern and balcony heaters on it and name it after Canada. That's iconic. Oh, by the way - don't forget to make the podium super generic too - offer nothing to the street and make the earlier phases look good by comparison."

It's wild that this project actually started years and years ago with some interesting urban design and architecture borne of a design competition... but alas, every year Concord sells out more, and cares about city-building less. And so this is the "Signature Tower" -- err, Canada House -- that we got.

It’s Concord. The bar is low. I’d say they exceeded my low expectations.

They passed the bar exam, that's all that matters.

These were from today while holding a box social.

I seem to remember reading that this starts occupancy in November. 1400 units+retail!

September 3 - The temporary derrick has been set up for the upcoming removal of the east building tower crane.

Cladding transparency glass on the top of mechanical room may be they want to allow lights to pass through at night for spectacular night view.

No those things are going to be lit up. At least if we're going by the renders.

The derrick on top of the east building was active today - not sure what it was doing, but the tower crane itself still seems to be intact. For how much longer though....
