Those aren't panels, those are backpans. You're looking at the inside of the frame in that shot, not the outside.

I would have preferred dark green spandrels but it looks good. I thought those edges were going to be slightly softer/curved too, but ah well... the building is gonna be damn sharp! :)
 
I like the glass so far, but not a big fan of the spandrel colour. I do hope it does turn out looking sharp when everything else comes together.
 
Not liking those exposed round columns. Are they going to clad them with something?

See the floorplans, they're exposed. I'm surprised some high-end buildings are going with these columns. I get that some people like them, and that's all good but having them here and Shangri-la really surprises me. I'd rather have poured supports and smaller areas of window than pillars, but that's just me.
 
Topped out: (since I took these pictures they've added about 2 ft of rebar, but it's not going any higher.)
