A second view of the third storey glazing.

They seem to put these quietly up over a Jay's game when no one is looking...

We only get a new storey of glazing for each World Series win. See you all in thirty years for storey five!

...nah, according Mr. @kotsy..you need to factor in the Tiff spectacle every year where they add cladding just in time for it. Hopefully then the cladding will be a little more advanced the time year 30 rolls around. <3

this is going to look so good

Is each panel of the curtainwall ever-so-slightly tinted differently? Can't tell if that's intentional or just the reflection - though it looks great!

I can't believe we're getting this and and KING down the street. I just alternate between these two threads every day to keep my heart aflutter.

I do the same...with the addition of One Delisle, which I think is the other wonderful Toronto project currently under construction. These three make quite the trifecta.

THANKS to the boom in the last few years at least it leaves us some architect hertitage ^_^

Don't usually post outside of 1 Bloor W but here it goes - taken yesterday, Thursday (Oct. 30). More of the new cladding, now on 3 levels.

I straightened the vertical perspective of the image showing the full fancy cladding (XXIMG 7190) - so the size of the windows on the top row seem a lot bigger than they really are in that shot.

My literal reaction seeing these pics: WOW
I love it, so unique in the skyline

This glazing is what Rosario Varacally 1 Yorkville had in the renderings. Very similar design concept. Unfortunately for 1 Yorkville, quality glazing did not happen, just endless mullions.

It got bargain spandrel'd to death. Along with Form just south of OCAD...

...those VE'd mullions completely took away from the intended effect of the cladding in principle. Bad spandrel is really the architectural scourge of the earth. /sigh

It just gets better with every panel that goes up. This truly will be iconic.
