See it would have been relatively easy on the eyes if they had just repeated the north podium facade and clad the exposed concrete with something half-decent. But nope.

Hmm, what happens to the orange-brown podium cladding depicted in the rendering?

 

[ptbotrmpfn]

What about it. There's no cladding there yet. I doubt it's arrived yet

 

[kweku]

I was expecting Black and Blue glass but I was wrong. Then again I should have lowered my expectations because of how AURA turned out.
Sadly, this building and AURA are sandwiching and in that sense hiding one of the most architecturally aesthetic buildings (College Park) in the city.
What a shame !!!!!

Are those gray spandrels (see the latest pictures) on the northern (Grenville St) facade? Then it's a relief to know that the main (Yonge St) facade will at least be partly clad with colours and possibly materials similar to those on the Parliament St data centre building.

Yes there is a lot of grey spandrel on the north facade.

It was originally planned as EIFS. Thankfully the Oddfellows Hall Addition should cover most of it

Please glaze that box properly! Please glaze that box properly!

So very drab and grey, hoping that the balcony glass can save this. Yes I agree, hopefully they glaze the box properly.

The only reason why this grey spandrel atrocity is happening is because the developer can get with it. There's no design leadership in Toronto, no design culture, no regulatory framework, nada. It's a race to the bottom.

This looks so sad. Look at all that spandrel. Shameful.
