^^What was the point of this renovation? They didn't really touch anything else besides going for a duller finish

I believe chunks of the old tile were falling off so they didn’t have much choice.

You can see white material leaching from between the stone tile on the west side of the podium on street view. I don't think any fell off, but it was obviously a liability.

Some of those tiles did in fact fall off from the extreme eastern side nearest the alley. That's what prompted this reno.

Ideally I’d love to see the retail built out and enclose the coveted space. But yes it is dull, stop painting things grey.

Seems like it started to fail in 2015/2016 they installed those little black/tile coloured holders at all the joints on the pillar near the driveway on the Hornby side. They started adding them to some areas on the Davie side recently as well.
