It's looking great. Looking at that last photo makes me wonder what will eventually be developed on the U-Haul property, and on the surface lot on Charles at Francis.
Really curious to see how it looks once glass goes up on the curved part at the corner. So far so good.
I find that Momentum from project announcement to construction is faster than many others in the region, so even if they are a little slow getting the final product together it is still far ahead in overall timeline.
Especially when you compare them to Andrin - City Centre, Auburn - Arrow Lofts, Auburn - Barrel Yards, Fusion Homes - Downtown Kitchener project, Auburn - Alexandra project
They are tinting them after installation instead of using tinted glass? That's definitely more work, and goes some way in explaining the slower pace of 1 Victoria (as compared to City Centre).
I know that some of the delays with the42 were related to glass issues. The coloration, combined with inevitable accidental cracking/breaking, meant drastically long lead times. Using a more common glass type, and altering it onsite, might cost more to start, but mitigates a great deal of sure-to-happen risks.
