Portage Place has a new logo and has slowly been changing over all the signage. Most of the exterior signs are new... so it's all good!
One thing that's a bit weird though to me – I feel like they should have called it 225 Carlton Apartments/Residence or something... I don't think it's at all clear to the average person that those 2 doors are to different places, and which goes to what. Aka I think a lot of people will walk into the apartment lobby thinking it's the shops.
What would be really really COOL at this point would be a "sneak peek" at the Food Haul, even though its still in an incomplete state, just to give us a better idea what its gonna be like.
The early renders kind of looked like glossy white panels.... which are currently going up on NewPort haha.
However, if you look at these newer photos on the RBCCC site, it appears like some sort of stucco panelling. From a Google scan, looks like all their other hotels are beige stucco with a bit of stone – so that might be a good (not good) indication.
Looks like stone and cladding to me... certainly hoping for that!
Yah i was hoping for stone, their hotel offering seems pretty highend i hope they do not cheap out on exterior finishes. With quality materials the buildings could look really good.
Thank you. Well let you off the hook! This time haha
So theres the core and column locations for the one tower. Looks like they've started on forming the outer wall of the site as well.
Also just noticed they used a different method of showing for the south east corner of the hole. Looks like a concrete secant pile type wall. Or something similar.
