BMO Centre Expansion | 25m | 5s | CMLC

[The Familia]

I am looking forward to the expansive green space and trees that will be part of this.

As I keep looking at this, I almost think that if they weren’t going to go with a metallic exterior, the copper should have been lighter in colour at least. Seems a little too dark.

These recent pictures looks better than the ones we saw earlier, maybe it’s the summer lighting but this building looks good IMO. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product, along with the changes around the new train station and entrance off of 17th.

Is there a thread on the progress of the station? Or if anyone wants to post an update here?

I'm curious to see how the copper strips will look on the curved slope. It has potential to look pretty sharp from Scotsman's Hill, which is where most of the photos will be from.

Surrealplaces posted a pic of the construction in the Construction update thread.

A few more shots up close. I have to say, it’s a different dcoerun r seeing the building up in close in person. I think this will be quite a nice building when it’s finished.

Here's to hoping we get a decent arena too!

I went from disappointed to really liking it.

How it looks on a spring day with wild weather.

You can see in that last photo, how much better the grounds in general would look with more greenery.
The minuscule amount of it that’s in the photo makes it look a lot better.

This building is looking damn good. Is that shiny silver going to be the final finish on the swoop?

The copper facade will be installed on top of that silver area. You can see one strip has been installed in Surrealplaces pictures above

Ah I see now, I guess the silver is the air/water barrier? Anyone know what product that is? Kinda just looks like sheet metal roofing

Correct. It is just metal q deck. It’s being covered with densdeck and a vapour barrier. The final standing seam (bemo) roof sheets in copper colour should cap it all off.
