I could be very wrong - but it looks like unitized curtain wall to me.

AoD

What's a 'unitized' curtain wall, and does that make curtain wall any different than what we're used to seeing? Perhaps it's just a term I haven't seen thrown around much.
 
Curtainwall can also be built stick, but it's way more expensive for the labour. Pretty sure the Florian went up as stick.
 
Took some photos as well. Shout out to the security guard that bumped into me from the UofT - sorry, didn't get your name.

77 Charles shows off it's rear end (facing South/West).

This is where Aston Martin's and the like will enter.

77 Charles facing North. Edited - makes more sense :).

The curtain wall is very sleek and obviously it commands most of the attention but I like the stone clad portion of the podium as well.

Of course, if Mr. Clew's had his way such a 'monstrosity' would never get built.
Afterall, stone is 'not for our time' :rolleyes:
