Not true about the Wall Centre. in 1999 when One Wall Centre was being built there was a dispute between Busby, the Architects, and Peter Wall, the owner/developer, Busby wanted clear, Wall wanted dark tinted so they compromised , the hotel portion ( lower floors ) would be dark and the condos clear. After 15 years of no tint, and oppressive heat from the sun, the condo voted to re-glaze, as it had been many years, the original manufacturer of the lower portion was no longer in business so they had to settle for a close match, which IMO looks terrible.

Glad to hear the Nova Centre glazing is of high quality but one shade or tone would have looked far more cohesive.
