If these bends are for the openings, they are a lot less superficial than I originally thought, for some reason I thought we would start seeing them when the glass went up. They also look to span more than the two floors the renders show.

The 2 floors are shown, it's just the columns shift for 2 floors above and below the actual mechanical areas.

I think the gap in the cladding will likely span only two floors but the steel columns need more space to achieve that curvature and I imagine they can’t make the bend more pronounced (right angles in the extreme case) and still achieve the load bearing/distribution they need.

The Front street canyon? Well what's one side of a canyon? Maybe the Front street cliff.

Paging Union Centre, Union Park, and 310 Front Street! Also how great would it be if all these developments were connected to the PATH and went to The Well.

I believe Union Park is slated to be connected to the PATH! But agreed, just extend the plans one block more and it's to The Well at that point.

Anyone know when they are removing the tarps off the bottom of the building?
Is the glass behind schedule?
