If they're HVAC grills, they're going to get covered in vegetation so probably not. Ivy won't stick to glass, it needs a porous surface so I just assumed that this is what they'll be grown on and the renderings support that, all the bunching of ivy is above the windows. But you bring up a great point: where is the HVAC exhausting to? I really need to find the technical PDF that I read years ago. It showed all these details.

Based on this photo, it is definitely HVAC exhaust which you can tell from the grills behind. Would be lovely if you could find those details.

So question I kind of have as a lot of the cladding sit on the concrete slab not the lower cladding could they not begin upper levels simultaneously at some point

The delay is in making the cladding, not assembling it. The original supplier went out of business.

 

[whatever]

Most (nearly all?) of the cladding was fabricated and sitting in storage. There are other things in play. The mockups had all kinds of issues, which they're probably discovering as they get into it.

Can't really skip floors because of all those interfaces at the inside corners where the cubes step in. This one absolutely should have been windowwall, but funny things, and then more funny things, and here they are with a discontinued curtainwall

A selection of recent King Toronto photos. Some overviews of the building exterior, a work-in-progress photo of preparing a section for Level 4 cladding installation, recently completed cladding areas, and a recent received delivery of cladding sections staged on the ground. Final photos are of the drive ramp - first the top level of concrete being poured, and then of the finished ramp.
