Toronto KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

November 18 Afternoon. Installation of the cladding / glazing units along the ground floor of the building's entire King Street facade is now complete. The centre section of the King Street frontage consists of heritage structure facades that were retained in place, so will only need new glass in the existing building window openings.

Installation of the cladding is proceeding along the east wall of the opening to the courtyard. Once installation wraps around the courtyard all that will be left to be done for the ground floor will be the south east section of the courtyard wall, including the wrap around the back to where the heritage building has been retained. Then we should see installation activities starting on the Second Floor.

Heading south into the courtyard:

Interior courtyard ground floor areas still to be done. New glazing visible at the left edge of the photo immediately below.





A lot of cladding / glazing sections on site and ready for installation

I didn't go to the presentations they held when they had the sample walls up but are the corners supposed to be sort of unfinished and exposed? Are they going to add an additional piece?
