First bit of cladding is up! Thoughts?

Monolithic and disappointing thus far, but I have faith in the podium, impact (people) and future phases tying it all in.

I just pray that they can make the numbers work for phase 2 and 3.

 

[Greenspace]

I need to see in comparison to renderings.

I'm confident phase 2/3 will go ahead if Council approves per door incentive from CRL.

I think it's a bit soon to tell... I'm more curious to see if/how they will proceed with the pattern on the sides. These sides (front and back) are TOTALLY made by the balconies, so far I'm happy with that cladding (it is going in the background anyway )

 

[Avenuer]

I'd say the cladding choice appears to be high quality and it can be done well without curtain wall. The addition of balconies will definitely bring the facade together and this will look more like a high-quality Falcon I.

Really starting to poke out. Excited for the second tower.

 

[SMayo]

Looks like the finishes will be similar to the Hendrix, so hopefully it can come together nicely. Definitely looking like its going to be pretty different from the initial renderings.

I’m thinking it will look more like the Augustana than anything else?

 

[IanO]

^more or less, but less sophisticated IMO.

Podium still should be quite nice.

Looking at the least glamourized rendering I could find, I think the balconies & roof on this one are going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting on tying together the design. I'm still very optimistic at this stage

^ Agreed, roof is critical

 

[Clearshades]

This is the new trend of stucco panels and used all over the city. I have an acquaintance who works regularly work with this.
What I'm curious with is how to make this panel more sheen than what it is at the moment. They come with a thin plastic protection that is removed once they are detected. I'm wondering if somehow the panels could be applied with an outer layer of polymer/plastic that will give it shininess? If that can be done, it is a game changer for highrises. On low-rise, you don't need it, but when you have a monolithic wal, it becomes too dull.

 

[Clearshades]

It was suppose to be "erected" not detected in my above statement.

 

[BASE]

Still optimistic also but critical for the other tower and connecting building to move forward.
