Those look like Innotech windows. Innotech makes a type of higher quality vinyl window that has an exterior color finishing option at an added (pretty significant) cost.

Innotech are installed on Grays Landing in SOWA in Brown and Orange...and also The Pinnacle condo tower in silvery grey...to look like metal.

They are a high quality window and often difficult to get specified on housing projects due to cost. They regularly suffer a 'Value Engineering' cut when the contractor proposes ways to cut construction costs to the building owner.

At the very least, the color often gets cut, then the window quality comes next. Nice to see this project make it to construction with something other than the standard integrated colors of vinyl....white, creamy almond or light grey !
