Ouuu super transparent. Looks promising.

Nice to see the tarp off. so far the glass look very promising.

It's a generic curtain wall. It doesn't live up to the double wide structural glass in the renderings.

Nice catch. I agree, it looks a bit disappointing compared to the renderings, but will hopefully still look good once it's all up.

 

[Surrealplaces]

The double wide glass panels would have been nice, but I'm still happy with the ones going up. I always hated the old frontage, so anything with lots of glass is a winner in my books.

There are renders of the North side of the base in the video on the Stephen Avenue Place site.
I took some screenshots:

Nice find. Any guesses to what type of material will be used for the cladding with the birds? The rendering reminds me of the SAIT parkade.

 

[The Familia]

Would be sweet if they reclad the entire tower like the rendering shows.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

I would diiieeee to see them redo the tower with white columns, white spandrel, and clear glass. Good lord. It's quite hideous as it is, worse even than BVS, same level as Sun Life Plaza ? . Even do black glass and black spandrel at the corner sections. Omg. So much modern.

I realize the previous design did not blend with the heritage look of Stephen Ave, but this design seems even further way from that.

A touch of modern doesn't hurt every once in a while. It's an upgrade of the 70's looking podium that was there so I'm happy.
