Today.

 

[Yegger]

we need more setbacks on buildings. Does anyone know why planning doesn't have any guidelines regarding that, the way new york does? At the current rate of construction, I feel like access to sunlight is becoming really rare at intersections, which is kind of a shame

Planning has guidelines that cover step backs, found in the Tall Buildings Guidelines. The plan for this building, IIRC, precedes the TBG coming into effect, however.

From the looks of today's work, they must be installing the special glazing around the "66th floor" pool and/or party room space.

Would someone please provide me with one redeeming quality for this building... I am at a loss for words

It will crumble and be replaced in record time?

Haha, not much to provide since you have already joined the bandwagon

It will crumble and be replaced in record time?

Jokes aside, that's the last thing this building will do: it's got the most advanced earthquake protection system installed in it in the world, over-engineered for our situation, built as a bit of a showpiece for advancing technology.

I was in the neighborhood and up close to this hulky thing and believe me, it does not look good really up close. The whole building looks terrible with pale grey glass cladding. In fact the building looks dated already and lacks aesthetic details.
