At my last field visit all Cor-ten panels have been installed and the Alucbond panels are about 65% complete. All windows have been installed. The proposed completion date is mid-summer.
This is the view from the street, which is the North-East corner. Due to the small parcel size, parking is under the building and the suites are located upstairs
This is the rear of the building, taken from the South-East corner. The rusty looking panels are siding made from Cor-ten steel. Cor-ten was used on some modern buildings in the 70's, but is rarely used today. It is a steel with a copper alloy. It will rust to a point then stop, creating a protective laver over the steel without any painting or other finish and is completely
environmentally friendly. Today, it is only available in thin sheets and is used by the automobile industry for suspension components.
