I'm leveraged up to the eyeballs. It's all good though

Funny how we moved from BA to Ritz so fast.

And BA isn't even finished yet.....

Next big boy getting to ground level should be Trump - by the end of next month or December at the latest..

I love the subtle changes in form and shape at the base of the tower courtesy of KPF:

Borat! - yes, he looks like Borat.

I wonder if he is a Bazis employee scoping out sites for a future skyscraper, back in the day.....

i have said it before and i will say it again.... simple, clean, nice.

WhipperSnapper · #**2672** Posted **Oct 30, 2008, 10:16 PM**

not a fan of MLSE's Germain hotel facade ... the black shows every little imperfection. The office facade looks great though

Wooster · #**2673** Posted **Oct 30, 2008, 10:28 PM**

^ Should have gone with the Prodema wood panels like Calgary's Le Germain.

I agree, the office portion looks pretty good. I whipped by it on the Gardiner yesterday.

Yeah, no. I'm thinking of zinc (and if this shiny claddiing is in the slightest of possiblities zinc) some nicer zinc.

Prodema would have worked well for Mercer Street though.

construction of the 10 storey podium 'structure' seems generally complete ... work is underway on the 11th floor of both the north+south tower
