Toronto Fabrik Condos | 56.99m | 17s | Menkes | Giannone Petricone

I doubt it or else Menkes would have bought it out

I'm surprised - this is the kind of offensive trash you expect from Tridel.

I was thinking, this is 10x better than the spandrel-fest happening at Avani.

Hope no one bought a low south east corner suite. If so you can expect this on a regular basis. what a bagel and the chickery are amongst the worst for throwing their stuff everywhere

Ha that's funny. I guess the condo kids are trash after all

This building has gone up fast.

Even for a piece of junk.

If you're going to build a black building, it better be sharp. This...from what I see is far from that.

 

[smably]

That cladding is just embarrassing.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Not great, pretty grey. Not the worst thing ever though...

 

[TheKingEast]

This is terrible.

 

[neuhaus]

Terrible is rather strong.
I'd say it's extremely mediocre and boring.
If this was covered in tons of blue-green spandrel, it would be terrible.

Let's wait and see until the bright pink elements are installed, it really needs it.

It's hard to convey just how oppressive and heavy this building feels when you're up close. The dreary cladding manages the suck the life right out of this little stretch of Richmond. Perhaps the pink elements will save the day, but I'm not convinced. So far, this is my least favourite recent development in the city.

Normally the building will look much different when it is occupied, as the white window coverings will drastically change the look of the windows and lessen the amount of darkness of the building. However here the window glass looks deeply tinted (note the white window labels behind the glass), so the building will remain very dark and oppressive unfortunately, kind of like Loft399 just down the street but to a lesser extent.

I also noticed that the strips of windows on the side of the building are now aligned in vertical rows rather than in a random pattern which makes the façade less playful and interesting.
