In person the cladding doesn't look awful. Certainly not an atrocity, give me a break. From far away it looks good, up close I'm seeing some issues with seams between panels. It doesn't look like the cladding was installed very well tbh.
Truman seems to be leaning towards getting primed Hardie panels and EasyTrim and painting onsite like they did at 1905 College. Good chance that is what they are doing here.
