This project is still inching along at a snail's pace. Drove by the site recently and they are finishing the columns for parking level 1. So they should be pouring the ground floor slab in the coming weeks.

I'm sure this tower will end up looking nice and all when finished...but it bothers my OCD that it isn't clad in the same materials as the Revele towers.

Someone else, I think it was on Reddit, complimented this project as looking like "Mass Effect" buildings. I totally understand that perspective, as these might be the most futuristic sci-fi looking towers in the city right now.

A very decent proposal for this plot of underused land, though the precast concrete panel cladding I'm sure will look awful (Riverain vibes anyone?). I'm pretty surprised the other parcels in this area have been so slow to develop, except for the one mid-rise retirement home next door which is...

Photo dump from my walk today:

It looks like they are installing the cladding on both towers at a rate of roughly 1.5 floors per week. At that rate, we should see them fully clad in the next 3 to 3.5 months by mid to late June.

I can actually see the very tips of these towers coming in on the 417 west at St. Laurent mall. Didn't know they would be that visible!

This looks great! I don't know why, but I've lately become a big fan of metal panel cladding over brick. Even if the building ends up as a typical CharcWhite, I'll usually give a pass if it uses aluminum panel cladding. Something about them just look so sleek and futuristic, whereas brick just...

Months after the demolition of the old bank building there is still no movement on this development. The site remains totally flat and vacant with no signs of construction mobilization happening any time soon.

This is one of the slowest builds I've seen in a while. Walked by the site recently and although it was hard to get close to the excavation pit to see down inside, it looked like they've only completed maybe one level of underground parking so far. Don't expect this to rise above grade any time...

Wow, this is a pretty nice proposal for some seriously underutilized land in the area. I love the cantilever look, height variety, and varying colours on the towers, especially the green one. Hopefully this isn't value engineered too much as it goes through the approval process. If this does go...

Is SkyscraperPage giving anyone else a bunch of issues again lately? I keep getting webpage loading errors or a notice saying that the servers are too busy to load the homepage. It's annoying and giving me all the more reason to promote the community transition to SkyriseCities. In my...

That red cladding is just so sexy to see on a tower. Have there been any rumors on potential commercial tenants yet?

I don't hate it, but it is giving "faux European ski resort" energy.

Here are the latest renders pulled from Taggart's website:
