you can see in my picture above the top portion had been lit up from underneath and there are lights on the façade as well behind the black mesh

Broadview Hotel prepares to strip off its veil: https://www.thestar.com/business/re...iew-hotel-prepares-to-strip-off-its-veil.html

The interior of the 58-room boutique hotel isn't expected to receive guests until the spring, said Les Mallins, founder of Streetcar Developments, the company behind the $24-million project.

But the Broadview Hotel has been such a complex undertaking, he is eager to celebrate the exterior milestone with drinks (OK, it's coffee) for the public, on the house — well, outside the house — about 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
 
Wow! <Cue Burlesque music>....She's a beauty!

(11th hour unveiling).

I'm not a mason (or even handy around the house) - but there looks to be a fair bit of missing mortar / cracked masonry, especially around the faces. Is this normal, or something they would look after later? Just seems weird to see the missing mortar after being wrapped up for so long.
Just looking for input from people who know about that stuff.
