That's just insulation. At least that will be covered up using that Grey-metallic coloured material on the corner in the 3rd picture. The best part of the building by far...

I believe that they are prefabricated concrete panels dyed "black" (if you want to call it that). Similar to what was used on the 400 Sherbrooke Ouest. Prefab panels are the big fad here lately. At least it's not the usual beige colour...

Oh well, if it wasn't for this one the tallest u/c in Montreal would be around 10 storeys.

Most of us in Montreal are quite disappointed with the result... But it is the only tall building going up in the city...
The second tallest U/C in Montreal is going to be 15 floors I believe (on a streetcorner with glass 25+ storey office buildings). It also takes up a quarter of an empty lot. It's not much prettier:
