Either one, or split the job and continue designing top-notch buildings on the side.

Looking good. Can't wait to see what they do with the crown at night. Some lights will definitely help!

Not sure if this has already been asked or if there is an obvious answer that I'm unaware of, but why has the exterior pool deck remained unfinished for so long along the west edge? It seems like they were putting down some type of exterior tile and then just stopped all along that edge. But if that is the case, I have to imagine that can't be good for all the work that they've done already. Anyone know?

The pool on the east side has been covered for a while now, so maybe they're working on that one first:

The green glass at street level is unfortunate. Enough with the green. Could have been so cohesive...

To be fair it will likely look better when the retail space is occupied.

It seems like a very modest retail element considering the location. I think a 6 story Asian style vertical mall could have worked really well in this location (esp if connected to HBC and TheOne.) The city needs to encourage developers to think bigger and longer term when it comes to mixed developments in the core.

...like The Well, Mirvish Village, 1 Yonge, LCBO lands, Galleria redevelopment, etc.?

I wouldn't be shocked if Great Gulf had begun to regret putting in as much retail as they did - that is of course prior to First Capital swooping in to continue their monopolization of Yorkville. They didn't have the easiest time leasing it. I think they thought Mink Mile rent prices would vault across Yonge with no problem. Didn't quite turn out that way.
