From Colonnade BridgePort's FB:
Doesn't look too bad. Buff brick will be a nice change.

Is it brick? In the renderings it looks more like a stone facade, whether real or pre-cast. The documents just refer to "masonry."
Pretty confident it will be brick. I've never seen buff with pre-cast.

You're correct. It's plainly marked on the drawings filed with the city, which I failed to read carefully. They're shooting for something similar in colour to the museum. Some manufacturers I found online show ochre/buff samples with a mix of shades rather than a uniform colour, which seems to be indicated in the rendering above.

Looks like work has started on this one
Wow, fantastic! This looks like one of the better RLA designs and it will really help to bulk up the 417 corridor. This, the Brigil monster build, Claridge's 'signature building', Gladstone Village, Minto's Isabella building, and a handful of others are really going to pull some gravity from the tabletop core.

That was quick 
. @hoggytime will not stand if a project is under construction and we don't have photos! (And I love it)

Weren't they supposed to keep the front heritage facade?

iirc with this one they were going to pull off and save the facade during demolition then rebuild it with the rest of the tower
Some updated renders:
Looks pretty good for a smallish project.
