What colour is it? Bomberjet's picture doesn't seem to show for me. It looked grey in the renders?

I've tried three different browsers at home and at work. I see nothing.

I thought "oh wow a steel building! Not many of those going up these days." And then remembered its going to look like a piece of junk..

Second crane onsite, probably getting ready to put in the steel on the south building. The north building looks like it is almost topped out but I didn't have the chance to count floors driving by.

Funny you mention that since I drove by this morning and nabbed a few pics of the site. It looks like 13 floors for the first building so far so it's pretty close.

Looks like they found some of that steel sitting in a junk yard puddle.

Maybe they found a great deal on AliExpress

Is there another layer of cladding going up or is that random mishmash of grey how it's going to look?!?!

Like the alt, but even more low budget/value engineered. Not pretty.

Yea not sure why they want to add a tacky "city skyline" design on the side of the building when THEY are the skyline for miles around.

The different coloured panels under the windows make it look infinitely worse. Like the windows are leaking sewage. The renders make it look like various shades of grey, not bear shit brown. Perhaps a complaint to city if it was switched a la Sherbrook tin shed? lol
