It's hard to tell but it looks like some hi-breed curtain wall/ window wall system going in on the north side. Hopefully with a few floors added we'll have a better idea. I do like the thick border though, that's going to highlight the profile of the tower from afar.

The northside looks like curtianwall. The boxy cornering is being used to connect the two different glass systems.

It looks like we have found our front-runner for most disappointing tower in the entire city. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions so soon, but that cladding looks HIDEOUS.

I agree it is a bit early to judge, but based on that cladding this building could be soo much more than what I'm imagining based on that cladding.

Imagine if it had the same quality of cladding as Shangri-la?

This is a condo not a 5 star hotel

Here is a picture of the difference between window wall and curtianwall

I like it too, but I'm exceedingly uninformed about such things.

The curtainwall is too dark and opaque. I guess this will become Toronto's scar like the Verizon building in NYC.
