Nice shot kotsy

Does anyone know why cladding installation has almost stopped for the last bit on the North side. Are they waiting on something that is preventing them from moving forward or do they have to finish everything on the other three sides first?

That view from the north side has been like that for a while.

Blinds can be put on a guided track to conform to the shape/slant of a window. Curtains would be an issue though.

An easy fix for that is to have a curtain rod on both top and bottom.

Hmm. Will the last portion still be glass? Or is the line that's currently being drawn the last of it? (Great set of photos Drum, BTW. Thanks!)

Arguably our first Sci-Fi friendly building - in a way that would feel at home in the 23rd century.

You don't think the ROM Crystal or OCAD would qualify?

Fair enough, it's our first futuristic skyscraper. (I guess we can't really count Absolute World as being in "Toronto".)

Worf disagrees.

Of course -- City Hall! Although I suppose one could argue that it is more "retro-futurism".

True - then again, it's a project with little impact on the skyline proper. A good chunk of the towers proposed in Westcore (Oxford Place, Mirvish Gehry, University Ave/Station road projects) and the 1 Yonge project will really add the to Sci-Fi feel.
