At this rate, the building may top out before cladding installation begins. Would the project stall if that was the case?

 

[karledice]

I'm assuming so? cause they won't be able to do the internal things like drywall, flooring, kitchen cabinetry etc.

I guess they really did mean the first week of next February... >.<

Omg, that photo almost gave me an instant heart attack!
For a moment I thought that awful minty green spandrel privacy fence on the top of that penthouse terrace was part of the building!

where are the windows?

where are the windows?

The supplier went bankrupt and has a bunch of them in the warehouse

This building is actually a physical manifestation of the parable The Emperor's New Clothes. The naked Danish KING (Toronto).

Let's see if they're desperate enough to get surplus window walls /grey spandrels from Pemberton ...

The supplier went bankrupt and has a bunch of them in the warehouse

They need a new contract glazier to fabricate, too. That's one of the major complications. The project was not anywhere near fully completed

 

[old boy]

A real shame. Does anyone know how long it will take to fabricate new windows, if this is indeed the case ? Then there's the delivery and installation, before final finishing. Can this developer wait this out ?
