Thanks for posting.
Seems like a lot of concrete on the corner at the alley - but hopefully they'll at least have planters facing the alley (like 888 Hamilton).

I wonder what the notches at the transition from office poduim to residential balcony/roof deck are for? The renders don;t show any type of cornice or anything that would require anchoring.
There are windows up on the alley side now too. The spandrel panels are a warm dark gray - quite a bit different than other towers' spandrel panels which are usually coloured to match the window blinds (assuming the blinds in this tower are not drak gray).
There's a good amount of solid surface on the tower - the cast in place concrete walls - but the patterns created by the spandrel panels on the window walls are yet to be determined - it'll make or break this tower.
$800 is a bargain compared to the $1200+ that some at Capitol are re-selling for already.
Are you kidding me? Those are Yorkville prices. Seeing how fat/ugly the building is, I assumed Capitol was the $700/sf mass-housing type...
I'm really unexcited about the beasley. We've seen countless examples of how the glazing will turn out; only question is what colour the brick is. It's like symbolic of everything that is wrong with the udp.
And I didn't think it could get any worse, lol. They should outlaw such emasculation of concrete... the solid portions of buildings should be designed for the raw concrete look, or some other real material altogether.
Note the dark gray spandrel panels - it'll be interesting to see what the pattern they create will be - I see a number of wide vertical spandrel panels - so it probably won't be clean horizontal banding.
At least they got the mullions right - low enough and high enough so as not to block the view when you sit on the sofa.
Note the spandrels on the neighbouring Atelier now seem to blend quite well with the window blinds (they got the colour right, unlike Yaletown Park where the spandrels are a shade too light compared to the blinds behind glass).
