Guessing the south facing protruding "boxes" may still in play here (perhaps just will be pre-cast full surrounds on balconies)... hard to tell. Only design detail of interest to me on this one.

Benches going in on the next bit of the promenade (shot from over a fence):

silly question, but can anyone tell me exactly how many floors they have so far? I get confused when I see the first level split into two heights.

Looks like they're forming the 12th on the west side.

Looks like they're forming the 12th on the west side.

Actually, right on cue from @Rascacielo, we can see exactly where they're at: completing 11 on the southwest peak and completing 12 on the southeast peak.

From March 5. Not feeling too excited about the cladding on the north side...

Not a silly question. That double-height section of the first floor on the west side is considered the first floor mezzanine, so it doesn't count against the total floor count. The City allows this whenever a floor takes up less that half of the floor plate of a full floor.

Sunday.

Three observations:

1 - Using the beige cladding and mullions were a big mistake. Should've gone for darker like the renderings. The balconies and neat massing may save this though. Too early to judge IMO.

2 - This area is a deadzone. Every time I have visited there are hardly any people out. And Sunday was a lovely warm day! There should be more people with all the units built down here.

3 - Seemingly none of the retail has been leased out. This is probably both because of and contributing to observation #2. Kind of a disappointment.

retail needs a critical mass to survive, and unfortunately it's not here yet. The existing 3 buildings occupied really isn't all that many people in the grand scheme of things. Once Daniels Waterfront opens the population should increase a good bit, but I think we will still be waiting a few years for that critical mass to come until Greenland's project is done.
