Some power washing and it's beginning to look...

Love it. The attention to detail really is unparalleled in new developments.

I bet nobody misses the blue building anymore.

Looks awesome!

All about the details. That's where many builders fall apart. Not these guys.

 

[Miscreant]

Brick brings so much warmth and texture. This looks great.

Tiny little drains to capture the melted snow from the heated walkway.

Stunning. Attention to detail is so perfectly done.

Sometimes I wish Allied did residential. I know office is their forte but imagine a condo with this much attention to detail. Nothing super tall or fancy but just a solid, mid-rise tower.

They are involved in King Toronto after all. Those are their lands it will be built on, as well as their older office improvements on site.

The south portion of building is beautiful (though the gray trim would look nicer if it were black), however, the north end looks horrible, with the clunky, gray mullions and spandrel. I'm not sure why that was handled so lazily compared to the rest of the building; which is very fastidious.

Additionally, it is unfortunate that the arches aren't perfectly round/supple, as was depicted in the renderings, but that is a small gripe. The brickwork is really exceptional, nonetheless.
