They could have done a beefier job with the appearance of the cross bars where they connect to the walls.
Maybe with a visible bolt.
What they have looks like a wall-mounted flag holder.

NY Times Building NYC:

The New York Times Building - Daver Steels (Bar & Cable) Ltd

Daver Steels supplied 280 tonnes of tie bars direct from the UK for the NY Times Building

That's because the NYT building is a real, structural cross brace that's also expertly crafted with the help of Piano.

I'm not sure trying to further fake gusset plates and pinned connections would've looked that great..

Yeah, NYT Building comparisons aren't really apt since it's a steel building to start with. It also cost coming up to what the entire Well commercial complex (below grade, retail, and office components) will end up costing ($1.05bn there to about $1.4bn here in 2020 dollars). It's just not in the same league.

The Well is keeping the concrete batching plants and delivery truck drivers busy today. Three concrete pumps and a crane (the middle one on the Wellington side) lifting concrete buckets are all working concurrently this morning.

The cladding for the north stairwell is looking quite good!
Anyone know what type of cladding material they're using? I'm assuming it's the same metallic finish used for rest of the "structural" elements?

Anyone know how progress is going? Do you think occupancy target of 2022 will be met?

Looks like white glass, but it's really hard to say for sure. Need a better pic. Cropped from the above photo.

@North Did you see any activities onsite? Is it still active?

Wow, you still have gas stations that close to downtown?
