I wasn't expecting it for Tower 2 at One Hundred / Garment St. but Momentum ended up painting it to match Tower 1. It was tricky because their precast panels were already painted in dark grey but hindsight suggests that was likely just a coloured primer. Tower 3 doesn't doesn't seem to have any primer/paint on their precast but I bet it will be painted to match the rest of the complex.
In short, Momentum (with Zehr as the actual builder) has a history of painting their concrete panels after they've been installed. Also the painting started just prior to occupancy.
Different builder but also was predicating that on Circa 1877. It was the very last thing to be done it seemed and in theory doesn't really affect occupancy.
