It does already look better than the building behind it!

Has construction stalled on this? I have passed this corner many times since April, and there does not seem to be much movement.

That picture looks soviet era level of depressing

Driving by on Thursday, there appeared to be work happening on the second floor.

Same, especially with that weird building behind it on Lester Street: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4715029,-80.532437,3a,75y,213.91h,126.77t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3DGfNjTuFvtVZwQQHXIqnQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D3DGfNjTuFvtVZwQQHXIqnQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D13.554778%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192

It appears they are on the 15th out of 24 floors. It already has quite the presence on this corner.

That is going to tower over everything on that corner.

Side note. I like how using the magnifying glass in Imgur makes the image smaller. Good UX over there. Tongue
ETA: Oh weird, I put the image on a different monitor and it does bet bigger. Maybe Imgur wants me to buy a new display.

Hi CP42, if you use imgur (or similar service), could you then embed the image (using the image button) so that it's not necessary to click through the link? Like this:

As much as the coloured spandrel in this area is a little tacky, I will gladly take that over the varied tones of depression on the other uni rental towers back on Lester.

I was driving up Uni and saw this and said what the hell is that?! It is really making a presence. Although I can already see it’s abundance of exposed concrete that will likely stay on the exterior finish, like many of the uni buildings. Let’s hope this one isn’t dreadful

Looks to be done 18 floors - 6 more to go.

There is a big sign out front now for Accomod8u, which doesn’t have the greatest reputation among student rental agencies.

All the cladding is up and the crane is being disassembled.
