I hadn't appreciated how much of an improvement there would be at street level. Looks great! Thanks for the post.

This would have been a great location for Eataly. Too bad Galen didn't go for that instead of a Loblaws store.

Thanks for the curtain wall shots!
Looks pretty good so far - the aluminum detailing adds interest, but not nearly as detailed as on this model (which has more of a Guinness Tower look):

I was expecting clear glass with seafoam spandrel. I'm pleasantly surprised how this is turming out.

Agree with all. The glazing should look great on this.

Super excited for this end of DT to become more activated. This development is great. I wish for DT to have a nice even hum, not have blocks long dead zones.

Looks like maybe they’ve almost reached the top floor at this end of the tower? They’re not using the repeating table form for the next level.

There's one recessed level and then the rest of the tower on the West side will continue up.

From Saturday. Looking massive already and liking how it adds density to the area.
