Toronto Panorama at Concord CityPlace | 96.01m | 28s | Concord Adex | BDP Quadrangle

Yes, they actually do--and I think a fair bit was made of it at the time. Hey, as long as the premises continued to serve well as the Loblaws warehouse, why simply waste it on an expressway ROW...

Panorama's @ the 17th floor ~

sadly the nice dark brick is limited to the first 2 floors of the podium, above which black cladding lies (typical of Cityplace?)

These black and grey aluminum spandrels will haunt us in the future like precast of the past thirty years does today.
 
wow, terribly annoying cladding. it's amazing how building technology has progressed such that, that which is affordable, lacks detail and craftsmanship.

Agreed. If only the black brick went up all the way.

On the other hand, at least this building has a bit of curve to it and uses its space pretty wisely.
 
Like every Cityplace tower, this one is flying upwards.

I agree, every Cityplace project west of Spadina appears to be clad with roughly the same material. It's going to be more than a little monotonous. Apex and Matrix will stand out well in comparison, and the high point may very well end up being the Harbour View Estate buildings.
