Toronto Westlake | 153.31m | 48s | Onni Group | P + S / IBI

Looks like they decided to make the top for all 3 buildings the same. In the rendering, the top of one building is like a square bottle opener.

"Square bottle opener" is a good description of the rendering. You can see the vertical feature in the photos here, which would extend into the bottle opener, if it were to be built.
 
This neighbourhood looks great. Every building has some distinct architectural features, and there's good landscaping in the public realm. Most of these buildings give you something to look at besides what people are keeping on their balconies. There's continuous parkland by the water's edge, which is what we should have achieved downtown since the 1970s.

The buildings could still be improved with better materials--particularly for the podiums. This complex seems to be leading the way with real brick and quality glass for the podium. Its huge retail component with a grocery store will be great for the neighbourhood.

Looks like they won't be needing the main construction crane for installation of "handle" element on Westlake. Nice shots!

I do not believe it has, it has just not been erected yet. I suspect it will be a metal frame underneath, clad with the same silver metal striping running up either side of the building currently.
