On that pic with Crystal Blu the height of the floors are noticable in comparison to Uptown.

Almost half way there!... (though it doesn't seem like it for some reason)...

No i mean 9ft. ceiling heights compared to i think 8ft. for Uptown.

Oh... I wasn't referring to your previous post.. I was just saying in terms of the building height..


Cheers

CB has 10 foot ceiling heights.

Hardly the One St. Thomas-quality precast we were hoping for. Thanks for all the pics, drum118.

Just noticed the first setbacks.

Whatever happened to the golden coloured Uptown?

Excuse me if this has already been answered:

Pemberton group happened. What did you all expect? It's always been a boring tower covered in precast. Enjoy it while it looks new because this thing is going to look terrible in 10 years.

Oh yeah!!!... Of course!... The white tiles will be stained SO fast!.. it'll be just like First Canadian Place!... i bet they'll have a re-clad in like 10 years.. lol

I don't understand all the hate. It's good to have a different-looking building once in a while, and it hardly seems fair to judge this before all the characteristic elements of the design are built. The precast ain't perfect, but at least it looks like it will hold up to the weather well. It's just about the same colour brown that older buildings of the same construction look like.

Don't get me wrong but i love this building!

I'm just saying the white colour may not last... that's all..

Uptown has great height and design... looks amazing on the skyline!

I ain't a hater

I wish it had a bit of colour too. Those deceptive renderings are just wrong and should be labeled false advertising. (and forbidden)
