At which point was it decided that no marble would remain? I recall when this was being planned that the podium would remain Carrera marble. I love what's being done. It looks like an entirely different building with the white glass. I'm just wondering when it was decided to go all glass and ditch the marble entirely.

The sign looks worse than ever! Are they not going to fix that?

I thought it was a lighting oversight until I came to this thread. It's not necessary and needs to go unless they are doing the entire roof-line with it, then I'm probably OK with it.

I was referring to the BMO logo. It's so dark and barely even legible. Just looks like a glowing blob of light.

Marble is currently being installed between the ground floor windows of the tower.

I was down there last night and was pleased to see that marble is indeed being maintained on the pillars.

The bar of light over just the BMO sign at the top of the tower looks cheap and unfinished.

ya they need to go all the way around the top with the lighting. it does look unfinished especially being only on or two sides.?

Today:

A restaurant with a patio is going in on the Adelaide street side where the Fairtweather's display window was for years.

They opened up the roof of the podium so that you can stand in one of the corner indentations and look up all the way to the top. Just surprised that I haven't seen a photo of that posted yet.

Thanks for the idea. It would look better on a less overcast day but this will do for now:

Beautiful shot.

Awesome shot, sMT.

With your eye for composition, all you need is an orange filter to give clouds and skylines a little more detail.
