16 March 2013: At first I thought it was the St Patrick's Day parade. Nope.

They are on the mechanical floors for the west tower, so that one should top out any day now. The east tower has a long way to go though
 
The view of the podium will be really cool from the Gardiner. I had to drive by Ice for the last two days up there, and it appears to me that the green roof on the podium will be close to level with the Gardiner. People will drive by and see these two towers floating on a Jetson's version of a field of grass.

I know renders overstate this kind of stuff, but it could be a really cool added effect.....
 
Just a tiny potential correction for the article: I'm 99% sure those metal angled columns/pilotis on the podium are not structural but are rather just an aesthetic touch.
