Three companies put in bids for the contract a couple weeks ago, and I guess they're still in the process of picking one. There's another test wall up a bit north of the York U campus as well, for the white glass proposal
I was in the GM building in NYC this past weekend, which is also clad in white marble. On the exterior, the marble has held up much, much better. Also, the vertical window bands look much better than FCP's horizontally-oriented windows. More importantly, the lobby is amazing - just crisp white marble everywhere, with simple lighting. I honestly felt like I was in a science fiction movie when I walked in. I have always despised the brownish motif of the carpeting in FCP, and the tacky 80s-style chandeliers. The GM building is timeless - nothing at all tacky or contrived (similar, in my opinion, to CCW and TD in Toronto, disregarding CCW's tacked-on security desk, of course).
Please submit this to Brookfield immediately. I support this; wonderfully done.
There's no point even if Brookfield was interested. FCP is already roughly 20m over the shadowing bylaw.
Probably Nathan Philips Square.Shadowing what in the financial core.
while I do like the fins ... this would look like a copy of the Telus Tower ~
