I was talking about the fins from earlier renderings which had them going all the way up the curtain wall podium. The fins on the second floor are a consolation prize for the grade level but I don't think they'll have an impact on improving the contrast between the podium and the tower.

Oh yeah gotcha, that is my favourite design of this building!
Red to compliment the red bricks of the neighborhood

Here are the accurate elevations from north to south on Spadina, then west on Front. Worth noting that the office lobby glazing is structural glass mullions with spider clamps.

And a render:

Thanks for posting those. Depending on how the red/rust podium element turns out, looks like the unfortunate glass choice of the top 2 podium levels will be somewhat mitigated.

The south elevation of the office phase sure seems to offer up a rather bewildering number of cladding changes (from street to tower).

I took a walk around The Well recently mainly to check out the size and proportions of the shopping/pubic spaces throughout The Well and here is the video I filmed.

Damn, you can really see how low quality the podium glass is compared to the tower glass in this shot. Such a shame they cheaped out on the part that is most visible to pedestrians

Though the cross-bracing may not be structurally holding anything up, it's certainly holding up the design.

Anyone know if they're planning on lighting up the cross bracing? Sorta like the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong.

In some of the close-ups it looks like there's some wiring around the middle, so maybe?

It would appear so.
