The reflective glazing helps here, I think.

The black frames on the tower portion are an improvement over the gray spandrels on the podium

This building looks promising to me.
I've noticed that many (most?) of the condos in Toronto have only small windows that open rather than larger ones, like the tilt and turn windows common in Europe. Is this just a function of cost, or other codes that make bigger opening windows less common? That was one of things that bothered me about my bedroom when we lived in a condo -- there was a lot of glass, but very little window to open. It felt stuffy.

Don't want it to be too easy for people to jump or fall out.

I agree. I think it's going to look magnificent when completed.

Wonder why we don't get more black framed windows. They have such a presence.

June 28 zig zag glass at street level is neat

Now that's nice - it makes the regular window wall right above look all the more stark, sadly.

The tower and street level are actually looking pretty good. It's just those podium floors that are terrible. I don't really understand.

This just seems like such a mismatch of materials. I'll withhold judgement till it's closer to completion since I think it could turn out, but right now it just seems like a wide range of quality that it could go either way. Cheap materials always look so much worse when they're beside quality ones, in this case there's varying quality on the same building, or so it seems at the moment. Anyone feeling the same way?
