Nice to see the diamonds fully light up the north face. (Scorching sunset, and morning warmth pics).

The only thing I don't like about this project is how wide the massing is. Imagine those pictures with just the taller portion.

Wonder if darker or lighter glazing on the centre set-back portion might have helped sell this better as conjoined twins.

mburrrrr

My point was that it has not been abandoned. 'Notice Sent' means the examiner has provided them with a list of items that need clarification on their submittals and is awaiting response.

A speckled cumulus sky scape today made for lighting magic...

Quick glass installation this morning...

Approving looks for the white beams...

Considerable work on the bridge...

It's interesting how the colour 'mauve', as subtle as it may seem, makes an appearance quite often. This is the north face around mid afternoon.

Thank you guys! It's easy when the subject matter is so beautiful.

The southcore desperately needed this building for a texture/materials/massing change.

Today. I spot glass panels on the north mech penthouse. It won't be long now before the tower is fully clad.

You can sorta see where I imagine they will open the park to while they work on the other building across the tracks.

Yes - they'll probably need to control numbers quite tightly until the second one is built.

I presume they need every bid of surface to store stuff on while they build the second tower given it's such a narrow site, so it makes sense. Everyone will need more patience for the full park experience than visible progress on the first tower might suggest
