If you look at the renderings a large vertical swath of has no window articulation. I'm assuming that living room interior is in that part of the building.

I'm afraid there's a high chance this project will be canceled or stalled like the Chicago Spire before 2008, due to the coming real estate crash next year

East tower construction must be starting soon, looks like they’re setting up the West building to be the new sales centre.
Outside is painted interior is fitted out.

I don't think there's even any remote comparison to that, lol...

I'm not in the industry, nor am I well-versed in economics. What current proposals, if any, are imperilled by the putative impending crash? I know there's an ongoing urgent need for housing in Toronto, so I have a hard time squaring that circle.

Not really a need. Speculative, artificial demand caused by poor (deliberate?) government policy.

Toronto developers expected to delay 10,000 units as slowdown hits condo presales

Sales now at 60 units left out of 864 according to Altus Data Studio. Photo for emphasis below and show how quickly this could sell in totality. Then again, with condo sales being a bit weak at the moment, we might have to wait a bit longer for the west tower.

Out of curiosity, Have you ever considered using a more realistic graphics engine? There are some very realistic looking models being made.

I'm happy that koops gets the building's message across being in the 3rd dimension mode. Being off topic, as for this person on cities skylines. I think is one of the best modders happening on this game for realism. And he started this town as an American or Australian style city. With little highway infrastructure and building density which made sense. Then he europeanized it by adding too much density and mass transit etc. Which is overkill for a small town in my opinion in real life. But still one of my favorites to watch. P.S. less is more lol!

I have yes, and some day I might try doing that, but I have been building this thing on Second Life for over 10 years now and I'm quite comfy with it.
