The little of the tower cladding we see looks really good.

Went by the area yesterday - photos can't really capture how good it looks in person. They've done a great job with the cladding. Can't wait to see it when it's all lit and bustling next year

It's refreshing to see a condo project that isn't turning into a cluttered mess of mullions and muntins.

What I like about Monde: Simplicity/solidarity of design (such as pic 3), narrowness of that tower especially in N-S corridors, workmanship (all those precast sections fitting seamlessly such as pics 4, 5), cladding and glazing, attention to detail (6,7,8) and those balconies!
What I dislike about Monde: Nothing.
Cool zig-zag pattern enhanced by the narrow white stripping against the balconies from this angle...
Lifting of precast to area framing the swimming pool.
Love the simple, single pane windows that will inhabit much of the podium section.
Newly installed...
The installation of precast on the interior area of the skylight section of that balcony...
Those narrow strips (with black trim)...
Note the even narrower white strip under that balcony to solidify the clean look...
Art imitates life: it's been raining cats and dogs of late.

I thought the glazed windows were clear on top of the podium. The dark glazed windows the with the white pin stripe pannels will make the building stand out even more!

Looking nice and clean- I hope that the roof and balcony plantings didn't get cut out.

Could be tall building of the year for 2018. (I assume buildings have to be finished for those UT polls?)

Hmm I kind of wish the balcony treatments were dark like the windows so they didn’t detract from the white zig zag lines.

Awesome. This is really turning around.

Toronto can finally lay claim to having its own Safdie masterpiece--a mere 50 years after the first one in Montreal. (51 when it's actually finished.) Better late than never.

Monde kind of looking like it is merging into the silos. View from CN Tower.

I hope this building comes with some nice night lighting because I have the feeling that this is going to be the best building on our waterfront. The placement of the balconies is going to be very different (and cool!) than anything we have right now.
