The rest of my pictures of 45 Province under construction are HERE.
 
Re: 45 Province St

Upper glass is starting to look good, I'll wait until it's fully cladded to rate it, because I don't know if they're doing any more terra cotta on top (I don't think they should, ground level can be historic but some modernism is refreshing on upper levels).
 
Re: 45 Province St

not alot of people see the ground floor of this building, but its turning out decent
 
Re: 45 Province St

Those protruding balconies are supposed to be clad in the "terra cotta". When that happens, the entire character of this building will come into focus....and I think it will be spectacular.
 
Re: 45 Province St

^I sort of like the balconies as they are. If they remained that way, I feel they'd offer a nice contrast from the terra cotta and glass. I can see how that could seem overwhelming for some, but it's a personal taste.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

kz, thanks as always for taking the pics especially on what looks like a pretty crummy day. Are they leaving the back wall a black blank space or will they cover with a facade of glass to resemble condo windows?
 
Re: 45 Province St

People have said there will be faux windows, but it really isn't looking like that'll happen.
 
Re: 45 Province St

Damn, and I thought I was cool with my 28mm...!
 
Re: 45 Province St

Vertical lines are awesome. Like the lines in a pinstripe suit, they add height and lose weight. This building is great. Small footprint, jammed in, makes the eye go up up up.

Re: 45 Province St

Thanks to the hill it is on, 45 Province Street looks taller and seems to be nearly the height of 33 Arch.
