So black vinyl trim along the edges, as the rendering shows. I’m anxious to see if they stick with the other material in the rendering, or if it gets VE’d down do some sort of beige vinyl siding or something.

I have the same fear

Could see quite a few people through the windows working on the interior today.

I'm curious to see if we get the exterior mesh shown on the rendering or if this will become one of the many vinyl villages we have throughout the city. It looks like the anchors for the mesh are there, so here's hoping.

 

[Mountain Man]

This looks terrible so far, they better have that mesh on the exterior still or this will be a prominent eyesore for a long time!

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me for the 30th time, shame on me

We have a right to be skeptical given the cheapness of development we sometimes see, but to put on the exterior mesh, they need to finish this vinyl first. I like to think RNDSQR wouldn't cheap out on that feature.

It's not vinyl, it's aluminum. Vinyl is not allowed on buildings 6 floors and up.

If I'm not mistaken someone else took over this project from RNDSQR.

We'll call it 'faux vinyl' for now - aluminum panels meant to look like vinyl

"Vinyl Village" would be an appropriate nickname for Calgary, replacing the outdated moniker "Sandstone City".

Is it grey or beige? I can't really tell. Whichever it is, I hate both those colors and wish we would see much less of them on buildings in Calgary.

This is the colour known as greige.
