Where can you check that it's been issued?
EDIT: Scratch that, it's listed on the Development Application site:

It would be nice to get sources for any updates posted.

I’m the king of properly sourced posts, just in this case there’s no direct URL sadly. Thanks for posting the portal.

Do you mean MG-1 and MG-2 as in Mirvish Gehry with GG being Great Gulf?

Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture Designs 160 Front Street, A New LEED-Platinum 46-Story Tower, In Downtown Toronto
CHICAGO, JUNE 26, 2018 – The new iconic tower will forever alter the Toronto skyline with a shape that was designed specifically for the site at 160 Front Street. The building’s form was sculpted in response to extensive environmental analysis, one of which included that the main axis of the building should ideally be oriented parallel to the direction of the site’s prevailing winds, minimizing its resistance to the wind’s lateral loads.
The interior of the building features an expansive 33-foot tall lobby with floor-to-ceiling glazing and stone finishes. Throughout the building, 9-feet-6-inch ceiling heights, with floor-to-ceiling glass, have spectacular views of Toronto’s skyline and offer an amazing quality of light for flexible and efficient workspaces. Daylight harvesting controls will help the building yield significant savings in lighting energy consumption and maximize the energy-saving potential of the building’s high-performance curtain wall system. 160 Front Street is also incorporating unparalleled amenities including a green roof at the podium level and several outdoor ‘inlets’ with tenant access from their work spaces.
“The building was tailored for business,” says AS+GG Partner Robert Forest, FAIA. “It was designed to specifically appeal to quality conscious tenants seeking to relocate to a world-class building, in a world-class city, with a bold and distinctive Architecture that will serve to enhance the tenant’s corporate identity. We believe that 160 Front Street will herald the future of commercial development in Toronto.”
Slated to commence construction in 2019, the tower – designed by AS+GG in collaboration with B+H Architects as the Architect of Record – has 1.2 million square-feet of leasable Class-A office space; 4 levels of below-grade parking for 340 cars; and bike storage for 450 bikes.

I would prefer those recessed, slit sections to be clad in darker glass (perhaps, black). That would serve to accentuate these features and provide some contrast to the monotonony of colour. That would really make the metal trim and the rest of the tower’s glass, pop.
