Thanks for the update!

From what I last saw they look like they still have about 8-9 floors of exterior walls/windows to go. Also, from what I can tell the pace has slowed down on them considerably, as they appear to be doing a floor a week rather than roughly 2 per week.

I also noticed that they installed some balcony glass samples on the south-east corner.

Lime green glass?

[OfficeProcrastinator]

Yes it was green, not as harsh as the accent pillar on west facing side of the building though.

I took a photo of it the other day.

Photos are my own:


For reference this is what the balconies looked like from the model in the showroom:

Thanks!
The lower cross bar looks pretty high up (?)

Yeah I'm pretty certain this is not representative of the actual railings that will be used. Otherwise, I imagine most people will be very hard-pressed to allow their pets onto their balcony .

Update:

• There are 2 floors left of exterior windows to go up now.
• They've installed laminate/wood(?) panels on the underside of the roof of the penthouse suites
• I haven't see any traction regarding the balcony railings/glass.

This one topped out a bit taller than MET1.

Thanks for the update! Sad how the mid-2000s' Highgate towers look better than a lot of the eastern Metrotown cluster (MET 1 & 2, Midori, etc.), despite having been sold at 1/3rd the price.

At least the Highgate towers had a sense of solidity and symmetry to them, instead of a box of cheap glazing and spandrel.

Pretty obviously 'inspired' by Aqua in Chicago, but it turned out pretty well.

[Spr0ckets]

Not nearly as well executed, though.

It sails perilously close to 'gimmicky' land, but at least it stands out a little from that little cluster of towers in that block.
But just a bit.

Cool thanks for updated photos!

To summarize the most recent changes on site:

• the awning(?) has been installed at the entrance
• the dark facade is/has been installed on podium ~ townhomes
• wood(?) panels are being installed on the inner walls outside of the entrance
• balcony railings have been installed on the south-west corner

It would be very interesting to see how the finishing touch on those curve balconies looks like.

[officedweller]

That'll make the look of the building.
