While most of it is gorgeous, I'm left wondering about the heavy, opaque elevator core and odd (perhaps temporary) cinder-block hut on the north-west side.

I can guarantee that cinderblock hut is temporary. No way they'd stick a permanent structure right under the delta frame in the showpiece lobby. I'll reserve judgement on the elevator core until it's complete.

It certainly wasn't in the plans (from the QRC site)

With this, Picasso, and Tableau, the Queen/Richmond intersection is an amazing place for architecture in the city.
 
Thanks for the great shots today. They're really nicely done. That lobby is quite beautiful, but to harken back to a previous post somewhere in this thread: does anyone else find that large white wall to be intrusive? Maybe I need to see it in person, but it looks awkward to me...
