That was more then 2 months ago, now you can see more movements...:banana:

It's been many moons since SSC cared about this project.

Here's how it looks as 2008 draws to a close.

Nothing like the cinder block look, brings back memories of high school.

Cute loft building, very quirky given the site. :)

Completed. Apparently, it's crap.

Not apparently but actually it's crap. Thread updated.

Or is it completed? Phase 2 is still under construction to the rear--2 or 4 storey building built over parking garage entrance on Richmond. My photo from 26 June 2010:

Please don't tell me there's a Phase II to this crap.

Quite a hideous piece of garbage and waste of a perfect property.

Don't see what you guys are complaining about - looks great, from the front anyway. Perfect scale and massing, solid cladding and design. A little too gray but oh well.

I think, given the name, people were expecting it to be, well, glassier. Instead, what we got was The Windowwallhouse. And the side walls are horrible. At least the one on the east side will be covered by another building one day. I also think it's out of scale for the area.

Photo from May 31 shows the downtown towers from the east with Glasshouse.
