The art piece is definitely memorable.

Very nice:
Got a nice tour of the site and chatted with the agent on duty--X2 may not have the funky mondrian stripes.

Took some upclose pics of the lobby with my BB.
No Mies touches too small to riff on: the clefts in the marble at the south end of the TD's Banking Pavilion, for instance.

I think that for anyone working at the TD Centre this place might look eerily similar to work. It could actually be quite disorienting, especially if one were arriving home extremely drunk.

Trees were planted today in the garden setup along Jarvis by the artwork.

mondrian stripes on x2
Why do you say that, it says right on the X2 website: "Twin peaks, black with master strokes of primary colour reminiscent of a Mondrian painting"?

Yeah, sorry. I got that wrong. It will have the stripes.

Instead of replicating the pattern in X, I wish they can go further and maybe have vertical colour treatements; or even ones that forms "squares"?

The walkway is now open between Charles E and Hayden. Incidentally, cedar trees have been planted along the north and west sides of the putting green. It looks less like a prison yard bordered by a tall fence with thick black bars.

This is a nice okay looking tower for me. It looks pretty much done now. Is it's completion only 2 weeks or less away?

People have moved into the lower floors. You can see, for example, patio furniture on the middle balcony on the 7th floor facing west. Landscaping is wrapping up on the east side along Jarvis, with the installation of lights for the "public art" and patio brick and the rebuilding of the sidewalk. 2 weeks seems right and matches an earlier press release from Great Gulf.

i think it would be interesting if they used a modern version of the "X Beams" used in the John Hancock building... it would be epic.

"Modern version?"

^I believe Steveve means "contemporary version" or "new version." Being a pedant to a fifteen-year-old is kind of silly, isn't it?
Steveve, I agree - I think it would be a nice touch. ProjectEnd is suggesting that you shouldn't use "modern" because the Hancock building is built in a late modernist style. Since "modern" in architecture and art refers to a particular style in a particular time period, if you want to talk about something being built now, you should use the word "contemporary" instead of "modern" to avoid confusion.
