Promising, but I'll reserve judgment until I see the glass.

It's going to be curtain wall I believe. We shall see soon enough.

..those vertigo-inducing balconies...

As useless as they will be, I thought they add a lot of interest to the tower.

Is it true that the podium and the main tower have separate foyers and entrances? And does anyone know how many elevators will they have?

 

[Toron]

I believe the waterfront east area might be one day the finest neighbourhood in Toronto

It's a shame, but judging by this model display in Menkes' offices in 1 York Street, it appears that the Monde's west facing downtown skyline views will be largely or partially obstructed.

I think the potentially blocking buildings are on the ex-FedEx site on west side of Lower Sherbourne. No doubt there WILL be tall buildings there but exactly where on this huge site is still, I think unknown. Views will certainly be blocked, but whos?
