This morning:

 

[Miscreant]

I like it. Very lean.

 

[Atlantis]

Jan 31. Had a look at the cladding at the base of the south wall. Looks like granite perhaps?

Looking across and down from 438 University Ave (Airmiles Tower):

 

[Ryan_T]

This thing went up fast.

And doesn't look half-bad.

Looks like black precast. I like it.

 

[DtTO]

That's precast?? Please, someone give the manufacturer's number to other developers. I would't mind precast one bit if it all looked like this!

 

[AlbertC]

Pleasant surprise on the north side. The playful arrangement of spandrel creates engaging visual interest and is a step above the typical treatment on blank walls. Application of the black window mullions is also an improvement over the grey that we've become so accustomed to seeing lately.

 

[Contra]

Starting to dig this one a lot...

 

[egotrippin]

Looks like black precast. I like it.

Looks like slate, but if it is precast then I'm very impressed.

 

[Contra]

Doesn't look blue enough for slate.

 

[DarkSideDenizen]

I think it's just pre-cast. Most slate does not have the striations that are visible.

Today:

This is a great example of an otherwise unexceptional tower having just the right proportions and materials to not only match, but enhance its surroundings. When this one's completed, a rather dreary stretch of University will have a little added drama and flair to it.
