What an awful recladding. It makes the building look new, but in the worst of ways. Those 50's or 60's buildings do get to be slummy if not taken care of, but they're generally quite well in terms of quality on the exterior, and more elegant in some ways compared to many towers later on. The balcony removal is a very poor move on their part.
As for those Oakville towers, I'm more open to that design than I was a few years ago. They look fine to me now.
