This is such a cool tower. Can't wait to get update pics once the curved glass begins to be installed.

Totally. I'm praying that they are pre-made curved pieces like Brookfield Place.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for as well. Regardless, I just need to know. The suspense is killing me! It's taking too damn long!

I'd be shocked if the glass wasn't pre-made curved (i.e. not just flat panels pivoted around a curve). This is a substantially-sized office tower designed by a renowned international firm to serve as a regional headquarters for a major financial firm. They won't cheap out.
I was looking at the curved corners the other day and I think they will pretty much have to be pre-made curved pieces. The curves are quite sharp. Fingers still crossed.

Yeah, the renders have always given me high hopes for this one. Should only be a couple more weeks till the end pieces start to arrive.

Oil and gas. Headquarters for the Canadian subsidiary of PetroChina . I don't see why the glass wouldn't be curved at the ends. Very nice tower. I hope we some more urban projects in the future from Manulife.

Ah, I had been under the impression that this would be Manulife's offices, not a development by Manulife.

Nice! Though I am surprised that the curve will be composed of three separate panels. Still looks good.
