Window wall - meet curtain wall.
There it is….. behind the green wrap.

Outside air intake pipes with insulation or the tower hydraulic anti-sway bars in the middle of the bedroom.

For the OCD people

Very fast crews

...this tower is more twink then bear though, sway or otherwise.

Liking the tower’s curtainwall colour change to aqua above the darker hotel floors... even the window-wall (to be obscured by balcony glass) looks fine.

I disagree. I love the darker hotel cladding. The green color they are switching over to is dated and Toronto has way too much of that gross glass.

I think a lot of that colour change you're seeing is due to angled reflections, as under different lighting conditions the hotel and tower glass look almost the same.

it’s the same glass, just a weird angle

Okay, I know this is off topic, but it's too funny not to share. The first time my father tried to come up with an email address, he was inspired by his favourite TV show as a kid, The Little Rascals. When I told him that was perhaps not the best, he decided on a second based on having taken tap dance as a teenager and it was even worse!

So what were these email addresses? spankydoughboy@... and twink18@... And no, he really had absolutely no idea.

Short digressions from topic are forgiven, but long ones get deleted, hence this thread is a bit shorter than it was earlier today, with the whole watermarks discussion gone. As some members noted, if you want to get into that, talk about it in a watermarks thread.

Meanwhile, the larger reason that this thread is shorter is that all the talk about the potential demolition of the Toronto Star building has been moved to the thread dedicated to the south block here:

Pinnacle One Yonge South Block | 296m | 85s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

Docs are up for Phases 4 (office) and 5 (hotel):

I was surprised at the time that the relevant thread wasn't bumped over that there instead of having it here. Thanks for putting in it's rightful place. /bows

More cladding arriving on scene today, 2 big truckloads worth mainly for the 22nd floor.

You know the drill, expect it to be installed in the coming days (if the installers able to keep up with the pace of all the recent deliveries).
