I wonder how many casual passers-by think that the steel canopy over the podium is a permanent design feature.
…which goes to show how design illiterate the average passerby is.

It is intriguing that the city permit occupancy of a suite in an under construction building, when the building is not yet topped, poor residents would be paying occupancy fees whilst breathing construction dust through the central HVAC system.
The city ought to stop the practice of permitting occupancy inspite of the building not being topped.
If the civil construction work was completed and the building was topped it could have be argued by the developer that all civil work construction was completed and only the work of internal fit-out was being carried out so please permit occupancy but in the present state of ongoing civil construction occupancy ought not to have been givrn for units even on the lower floor CITY OF TORONTO please wake up from your drunken stupor
Best view of Aura is from Mt. Pleasant Ave. - driving south from St. Clair; amazing views/angles- full sweep of downtown. Hard to take a pic while driving or even as a passenger. I did notice a staircase leading up to a building (or maybe it was a house) on the east side of Mt. Pleasant that would give a photographer a great opportunity (a few blocks south of St. Clair just as the road curves).
The heating and cooling are both centralized which means the entire system is connected to all suite directly above and directly below so that the air is circulated throughout the building
