2.7m sf. The idea was that Phase II (Exchange) would be about half that:

Those photos are making me glad that the recessed bit between the two volumes is not darker glass, actually: the snake between the two diamond suspenders wouldn't work if the glass were darker.

That zig zag or snake is for me what bothers me about this and still hold onto my opinion of the darker strip. That zig zag kinda bugs me

But by all means it’s still a beauty of a building. In any case.

Good eye! I've been noticing that recently and it is quite pleasant.

What bothers me the most is how the diamond pattern changes/ends before the top of each side of the tower, creating less variance in colour/reflection from what would be the most visible portion of the building. I get that a larger diamond is being used as an end to the pattern but it ends up having much less of an impact visually.
