Is that the final colour of the glass? Or is there some film on it to protect it during construction? The glass seems a lot more green than the renders, more like condos built 15 years ago.

Looks like the final colour.

This is something Cidex would make. Looks like a midrise version of the Hat in EV.

This is exactly what I expect from Truman. Quality materials (SSG vs window wall) but strange choices like the white framed operational windows. The only thing that looks "lazy" are the vent covers. There's a lot of spandrel. It's a choice between spandrel glass, ACM, or Fibre Cement nowadays.

One thing I’ve never appreciated before in regards to this building is the backside from this angle. I knew that they had sloped it back on the upper levels to avoid looming over the neighbours and I can see being there next to the building physically that it doesn’t give a looming presence at all. It worked out very well.
This can be a good example for developers and neighbours when it comes to shadowing issues.

There's a lot to like about this building, but I'm not loving the spandrel.

I'm not a huge fan of the spandrel color. Going with a medium gray spandrel would have made it look more like the vision glass and would have made the building look better overall IMO.

Those balconies are really out there. One of the businesses is slated to open in January, so the building should be complete this fall/early winter.

Did Truman team up with Cidex or something? What's the point of all that glass if only like 10% of it is vision (clear) glass?

I don’t like those balconies. They freak me out that they will collapse haha.
