This photo makes them look a bit more sculpted.

These towers ended up looking so amazingly cool IMO, especially on the overall skyline. I'm not the first to say it but I think we can all agree they're super eye-catching, which isn't something we really have too much of.

Almost picture ready. The SE tower elevator is still there then the NW tower so it could be a few more months before the final photograph trip to the island.

Looks like they are prepping to take down the external lift on the eastern tower.

I will stick this slightly tangential post here...........
That Farm Boy is almost certainly losing a lot of $$
I am told the shrink level is nuts (shrink is any inventory unavailable for sale, which can be theft or in this case, perishable product turning/expiring before it can be sold.)
***
It's overall a good location, and as occupancies pick up here it should do quite well, but I think they were a few months early in opening. That in combination with a near invisible entrance off Cooper Street, and no at-grade presence, is hurting them. While Loblaws just to the east draws well, it's a store you can't miss, and it has obvious, ample, free parking encouraging people to come from a distance, where anyone not local probably has little idea that Farm Boy is even there.
