Awesome update, as always, android. I'm not usually in that area so it's great to see updates on this, one of my favourite projects in Toronto at the moment!

This project is really beginning to create an impression in the east. In particular are those views when traveling on the DVP and Gardner at the junction that overlooks the developing area. Once the buildings that will serve as a perimeter wall surrounding the western edge of the park (where Front Street will ends) is complete, I think this area will be post-card material.

Black matte exterior cladding was installed on a tiny portion of the River Street building, as shown in my pics in the link. I'm already loving the windows, too. Should look fantastic once the exterior is complete!

^Nice pic. Don't hold me to it, but I have a feeling that in a few months we'll all be gagging on River City's eleganza.

I think we should be the moment the details came out - here is a firm that have a track record of handling their projects well.

I uploaded some better photos showing the initial installation of the black metal cladding around a window/sliding glass door.

And in a year or so, we will be seeing copycat developments designed by G&C, etc.

That might be a good thing.

Some shots from today, taken from a moving vehicle so they aren't exactly top notch:

A view from the DVP...

 

[RiverCity1]

If you squint...you can see River City just past the TD Tower...

A little closer...

And even higher up from the CN Tower Skypod...

And back down at ground level...

Sunset over the building...

Pool and other outdoor amenities being built over the 2 storey above-grade parking structure...

The "lightbox"...

The "lightbox" again with newly installed glass...

Some cladding installed on the right (with protective paper still covering the black aluminum panels)...

Again...

The TCHC Senior's building to the west of River City...

Lots of glass being installed...

Finishing up the rooftop and mechanical penthouse construction...and almost ready to move the crane back down to ground level to start Phase 2 this month...

This will look a lot different a year from now...
