I am awaiting for the details to least distract us from it. Though if they're planning to use that window wall liberally through out this project, they gonna have to have a lot of details to distract us from it. /sigh

Waiting for the second floor to see how the floor slab cladding turns out. I am also hoping that the balcony railings and glass will be able to integrate the waist-high mullion into the overall design.

The plus so far is that there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of spandrel, but the negatives are the uneven sizes of the window units and unexpected appearance of another horizontal mullion at the top of each unit.

I guess the good thing is that the largest tower is also going to be in curtain wall, but this sort of gives off the impression of wearing sneakers with a tailored suit.

Looks like you won't have to wait too long.

Are those sliding glass doors or windows that are causing the different mullion depths?
That's adding to the inconsistency of the look.

Doesn't look like it.

The angle of Jeff Morgan's pic shows my eyes better windows than any other Pinnacle build in town. Kinda makes me cling to hope that the curtain-wall promise for SkyTower will be kept.

Some more promising examples of glazing on the west side. There really is a mixed bag of glazing so far:

^At least no horizontal mullions/transoms (unsure which is the correct term) in those panels.

The site looks so awkward now without the other towers rising. It's gonna be a sight to see when all three of them are climbing/built.

What gets me is the bare wall - there are knock-down areas of that wall that will permit access between the different phases, yes?

Yes, hallways will be knocked through.

The podium of the other tower will be built right up against the exposed wall.

I don't see any connections on that floor.

There are grey bits in the orange line that divides phase 1 and phase 3. Those are the connection points.

Were these posted? Not sure if they are most up-to-date designs.
