its actually being reclaaded like FCP, but since it looks the same before the reclad, it isnt getting much attention. the signage got shot down as well.
The TD Centre is being painted. Commerce Court is being clean as well.
This recladding has done a fantastic job making this building look even better.
I liked it before, but now, with the contrasting dark corners, it looks more imposing.
To me, honestly this is like when they renovate the facade of a heritage building back to the way it was when it was built, as they sometimes restore it to look the way it could have looked initially if there were more resources. AON centre had the facade replaced and it looks great, but still just about the same. This is the first time I've seen a skyscraper having been renovated and almost reconcieved so that it looks better than it ever has before. It's like a director's cut of a movie that actually returns it to the way it always could have been. I've seen some midrises have a new facade tacked onto an old building, but that's a real 'facade'. This is fantastic. I can't wait to see it for myself.
I've said it before, but this really came out looking fantastic - perhaps the best reclad I've ever seen. The best part is that building has retained its identity.
sorry to just pop in like this, just thought I would say that this building looks like a mix of the New York Times Building and an ipod. So excellent. Now if only they would do the same to the building's cousin in Chicago - The Aon Center.
