probably a silly question, when you look through these blue windows from inside, will you feel any difference compared to other non-blue windows?

Wow they have moved quickly on the glazing. It seems like a whole different tower than what we expected.

One week of glass work at Live on Park. It's flying on.

It's still terrible, but seeing it with more of the cladding I definitely hate it a lot less than I thought I was going to when the glass first was installed. It's going to be an incredibly boring tower.

last construction boom we got Vantage Pointe. This time around we get The Park. At least it's smaller...

Actually even though the blue glass is weird, I think I could live with it. The podium, though, is just pathetic. It looks like something from the 1970s.

My thoughts exactly. I'm getting used to the blue glass now....but I really don't like the podium. I have no idea what they were thinking.

I noticed that too. They blew through the first 3 1/2 floors very quickly but have only finished half a floor in the last few days.

5 floors now completed and until today, the glass installation really hasn't slowed much if at all. The first 3 floors and change were done over 6 days last week and 3 days the previous week averaging a little better than a floor every 3 days. Workers on site today, but no glass work was done and it may now slow up a bit if more glass does not arrive by early to mid-week. A load did show up on Thursday for the ninth floor that they started at the end of the day on Friday. Had they installed today, they would have completed at least a total of 2 floors for the last 6 days of this week.

Just saw this set of pics on the Live on the Park Facebook from the other day. I realize lighting isn't ideal, but the cabinets and flooring look really bad to me (compared to what they show on the website). Am I crazy?

To be honest, seeing it with all this glass, the tower portion doesn't look nearly as terrible as I first thought it would when the glass arrived. The building is still a huge wasted opportunity... but could have been worse I guess.
