Drove past site today. Looks like the stick built curtain wall was being installed on the floor above the podium on the west facing side of the building. No glass or spandrel panels installed yet. It will be interesting to see an example of what the finished product will look like.

Well the building was designed for micro living - we know this based on unit size and compilation and it was pitched hard to GTA realtors and investors. IMO its a 'safe' design street curb appeal wise and i don't mind that. If it ain't broke don t fix - risk it - but am looking forward to the final, 40 story version.

I really don't think DTK is really quite at the "micro" level yet. The units are small, yes, but until you start getting 1BR units under 400 sqft and bachelors under 300 sqft, they are just plain "small" rather than "micro".

You've proven me wrong. Now that's a shoebox. Was that only one unit/one off?

Which building was rumored at 50 stories?

Oh yes of course, it's all doable...it's just now what anyone outside of metropolitan cities are used to. I imagine the average square foot per person in Kitchener Waterloo is north of 500sqft considering all the houses.
