That a big opening for the mechanical area,

That would make sense.. but then why is the ventilation unit (or whatever it’s called) already installed? It also dosent explain the huge gap on the back end of the tower lol.. time will tell.

Center of the top of the roof is open to air, that's why you see the HVAC. The big hole in the side is the room for the mass damper. The gap and rest of the twisting facade structure is built out with a steel frame.

Cannot get a real good shot of the top from the north due to the elevator shaft

I've been curious about what has been happening with the roof since I can see it when I walk my daughter to and from school. I brought my Nikon P950 for a walk today to the nearby park and shot it hand held from about 4400m away. This is straight out of the camera at almost 2000mm equivalent. I might do a flight over the area tomorrow.

From 4400m ground shot yesterday (above shot) to about 10m airborne shot today:

This mass damper system, if that is what this is, is a lot different than what went into M1 and M2.
I'll Bluesky some other shots later.
 
So apparently it is a tuned mass damper which acts like a pendulum. At 705 tonnes when completed, it will become the largest of its kind in Canada. So there you go. I learn something knew everyday!

An amazing weight for the mass damper - works out to 1,410,000 pounds 705 tons, or 1,579,200 pounds for 705 tonnes. Or to put it another way, to the dry weight (no fuel or passengers) of approximately three and a half Boeing 747 air craft using short tons, or just over 3.8 Boeing 747's for if it is 705 long tonnes. @Tim MacDonald - would it be possible that there should be a decimal point somewhere in that figure?

For those who may not be aware - there are three different measures for 'tons' or 'tonnes' - explanation from the Encyclopedia Britannica:

"Ton, unit of weight in the avoirdupois system equal to 2,000 pounds (907.18 kg) in the United States (the short ton) and 2,240 pounds (1,016.05 kg) in Britain (the long ton). The metric ton used in most other countries is 1,000 kg, equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds avoirdupois."

Based on what I found on Google, it did say 705 metric tons but I have no real way of knowing if that is true.
Those plates are seriously thick and labelled for easy assembly ;) :

It appears that there will be another large section built in front.

So until this thing is done, I'm withdrawing my earlier comment about the roofline. I guess it could still be built like the renders.

From your photos steel beems have to be welded to the embeded plates in the wall once the rest of the equipment is in place to allow a false wall to be built for the missing sections of baloney.Even the baloney floors have a steel plate in them.

I hope you have better luck with your P950 than me as i only used it a few times with 250 shoots/videos since March and it has to go in for repairs. Will ook at selling it once it return as I am not happy with it and doesn't meet Sony 400VX performance at 50 zoom. Wish Sony came out with a new model as I cannot get parts for the one I have. I just took the R7 out for its first run and a big different between it an the Mark II with a new learning curve..
