The 360 Main re-clad looks terrific in this photo.

I dislike the 360 Main reclad....but that photo makes it look great. I think the reclad will have to grow on me.

I'm on the fence about how it looks in full daylight. I still think it's an improvement on the original though.

I agree it did not turn out well, for one the east and west facade do not match and the glass is too dark making the building look black.

Rendering vs reality:

Oh..I thought they were going for black as the intended colour and they made it look dark blue instead.

I understand why they had to reclad it...but the hue makes the building look a bit busier with the curtains.

this view will be nice with the 635 Saint-Jacques, the BN tower and the future condo project.

^it was supposed to be a triple tower complex.

The original project, conceived during the Expo 67-era economic boom, called for three identical towers arrayed in a triangle. It was scaled back to two towers flanking each side of the central core. Ultimately a single tower was built, due to financial constraints;

What is that first building? It looks interesting.

The fact there’s still Sea Kings flying over Halifax is embarassing.
