I’m still waiting for a tower with cladding that complements its restored heritage base (similar colour, texture, etc). I don’t buy the BS about wanting to differentiate the tower from the base so it doesn’t overshadow the base, etc. If developers want to save money by using grey spandrels, fine, but at least be honest about it instead of spouting off such nonsense.

It's the planners who are equally to blame for that, they don't understand that 'differentiate from the heritage' still allows you to borrow its key elements (material, colour, etc). I.E. critical regionalism instead of fake historicism. They aren't architects so they take it literally, and ask architects to make it look completely unrelated.

Might be my least favourite build right now. Just not nice on the eyes whatsoever.

Has anyone shot the backside?? Hand laid brick?!

I actually much prefer the treatment of the first few floors facing the laneway to the podium's Queen Street elevation (the new portion at the corner) which I find heavy handed and awkward.
