There was work going on yesterday afternoon to clad more of the 'fronds' (or whatever you want to call them) around the base of the towers.

The frond glass, as you can see attached to the posts above and still awaiting installation below, has a black linear frit on it to darken it, while there also appears to be a general frosting on all balcony glass to blur light passing through, hiding whatever is being stored behind the panels.

Meanwhile, the skyward views from the ground here are a lot of fun:

Yep, the attention to detail here is superb. I could use more contrast in the from the balcony glass, but the shape is really beautiful.

Does anyone know if the rooftop amenity spaces were retained? It's a feature that, while slightly more complicated, should be pursued far more often.

I am 99% certain that the amenities are at the top of each of the towers.

There is a gym, steam rooms, library and a party room plus some open area on top.

Okay, move the dial up to 100%. (Thanks for confirming, @Vlad353!)

I'm finding myself surprised that they still have the service elevator up. I'm anxious to see this one done, but is it just me that this south tower is taking longer than expected?

Have residents begin to move intothis tower?

 

[Vlad353]

east tower is already occupied (partially) up to floor 40 or something

 

[interchange42]

Is it not the shorter west tower which is occupying?

[Vlad353]

West tower (the shorter one) is fully occupied. East tower is still under construction, but is partually occupied up to floor 40.

 

[interchange42]

Ah - thanks! I take it that the suites on each floor where the hoists are still attached have not been completed. It's very odd to have the hoists up this late in the game.

Perhaps they are getting help from the people responsible for the L Tower crane?
