...Thereby massively increasing condo fees on residents who may or may not use said features. I'd rather these things were provided to us out of the public purse and we were all charged the commensurate cost to construct and operate in our taxes.

A city built at or below the rate of inflation is a city not built at all.

Looks like they “fixed” the gray cladding issue? Perhaps the previous was just testing? This looks lovely.

I literally think thats just the lighting - notice how the first photo is in direct, clear sun vs the second which is more subdued due to the setting sun. If they're porcelain I would expect the panels to have a bit of dimension/texture and to reflect the light differently depending on the time of day.

It can't be, can it? I think it's been changed. The black aluminum frames don't suffer from such a hideous transformation depending on the light, and I just can't see the porcelain being that weird in its reflection of light.

Look at the vertical mullion directly above the installed panel in your first photo. Notice how much brighter it appears due to being hit by the sun? It's a bit tricky to see because the staggered balconies are shading the windows quite a bit, but yeah, I think they're the same panel.

I see what you're saying… it's hard to believe though! I wonder if that first photo is suffering from some HDR weirdness maybe. That colour just doesn't make sense to me.

Looking good. Mod is doing some great things around the city.

There is a god, and that god is Mod.
