Pretty low quality…

 

[CalgaryTiger]

Dang... maybe it will be different on the upper portion? That floor is at or above elevated Green Line level.

 

[Mountain Man]

Meh

 

[Zoom]

I wouldn’t classify it as low quality. It’s better quality than the hardy board or oil canning panels we get on other buildings
The rendering shows more vision glass though.

 

[CallmeCatbread]

IRL it doesn't seem horrible. I'm surprised by the lack of vision glass but otherwise, like Zoom said, it could be a lot worse. I'll take spandrel over dumpster quality aluminum any day.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Fine line between “could be worse” and “spandrelly windowwall looks nothing like the curtainwall that they proposed”…

 

[cameronhowe]

I hope they don't cheap out on what they proposed for the first two floors.

 

[haltcatchfire]

I wouldn’t mind it if that’s what was rendered but that’s insanely different.

 

[gsunnyg]

Unbelievable! What a bait and switch! There's too much of this going on nowadays in Calgary to be ignored. It's especially gotten worse with AI renderings. Didn't expect this from Truman.

 

[The Familia]

Let’s be honest about Truman. They build a shit done of stuff, yet they never preserve heritage buildings and most of their completed projects are generally mediocre. I can’t really think of anything they have competed that has been a stunner up to this point.

 

[Rusteez42]

This is bad, real bad. Renders have that gold panelling where the vents are. It looks cool there but on top of this it will look like Yellowstone. Did not expect this from Truman, most of their stuff is boring but feels right, this feels student res like.

 

[Surrealplaces]

I'm fine with it. As zoom said, spandrel glass is still better than the materials we see on lowrise buildings. My gripe is that so far it doesn't match the renders. If the renders had come out looking like this in the beginning, I still would have liked it.

 

[CalgaryTiger]

I'm holding out hope for the upper floors. At least it is a little reflective on an angle.

 

[Makarov]

Yeah, I'm in the "overall its fine but just disappointing because this is not what the rendering looked like" camp.

 

[Tarsus]

Same here. The rendering change is disappointing, but the building will fine overall, even with spandrel than the rendering.
