Westin Montréal - 22 étages - 90M$

Whatever the reason for the loud color, it is good advertising and it is a great way to show the public that, "We're making more buildings and there will be even more on the way."

Je passe par la 3-4 fois par semaine et hier soir vers 21h30 ils étaient en trian de démonter ou de remonter une grue. Il y avait 3 camions plateforme 53' avec des pièces de grues. Je ne suis pas certain, j'ai pas arrêt, ma copine est pas du genre, "r'garde le beau building pas fini"

Thanks WestAust. I'm glad to see that TopBord is a Quebec company. No real indication on the site as to why it's orange.

 

Are you asking about the colour or what the material is. If it is about the colour, my guess would be it's about marketing; it's loud and people will wonder. Worked in this case.

 

I think you're right. The colour comes from the paper backing that is applied to the other layers. It makes sense to attract attention during construction, even if it's just to say "What's going on over there?"
