I really like the black of the buildings and the designs are innovative and will create a pedestrian friendly environment.
Gorgeous. Could mistake that for a new development in Oslo or something.
Yes they are really struggling with the exteriors on RC2, and I understand it was the same story with RC1. They are moving at an absolute snail's pace. The interiors appear to be complete on the lower levels.
As far as wear and tear, judging by RC1 and the black panels, they seem to be holding up just fine. However it will be interesting to revisit in 5, 10, 25 years.
I don't want to sound disrespectful to our hardworking builders, and perhaps my general lack of knowledge may hinder my understanding, but equally and far more complex designs and cladding systems get completed all over the world. Why would we have so much trouble with it? Perhaps it's difficulty adapting away from the status quo, seeing as the bulk of new projects in Toronto are very safe copy+paste designs, with basic cladding. I love RC1 and 2, so I don't mean to diminish the architecture, but I have trouble seeing what could possibly so advanced as far as exterior installation goes.
Absolutely!
You all know that we have been very vocal about being screwed-over by Urban Capital. Yes, the exteriors are very cool. The interiors, and pretty much everything else dealing with UC however, has been horrendous.
Passing off responsibility to the hard-working unit owners saying, well, that it's our fault and "buyer beware" is not appreciated. But since few people want to hear the truth, we are vocal on here. If anyone can honestly state how this is a quality project worthy of us spending our hard-earned incomes on, please advise because we are at a loss and can only compliment the exterior.
