I think that curving effect on the balconies will look much more pronounced, and better, when we see all 50-something stories of it.
 
If I remember correctly, the north facade of this building just barely cleared the hospital flight path. I wonder whether that is why there is the one section of lower-profile formwork -- I assume even temporary incursions during construction aren't allowed?

This is a remarkably complex build, and I have a feeling that we don't even know all the constraints.
 
Looking eastward from NPS, the tower will have a powerful presence (reduced and re-posted from Wednesday):

It's not back-painted glass, it seems totally flat (no pillowing like at Alter), and we seem to be looking at curtain wall on the north side. Win win win.

I actually don't like the glass. I get why it had to be changed but too bad we couldn't get the same system that One Bloor uses. Granted the building would end up taking almost 10 years to finish.
