No--the bracing was temporary (but people here complained about the look of it anyway) though there seems to be one very thin metal pole at the corners of the balconies that's staying (you can barely see them on the photos).
They are better seen here:
As to the look of the building overall: This is interesting to me. I said way back with the early renderings I didn't much care for the sloping facade and got slammed for saying so. Now lots of people are coming out of the closet and saying it.

What changed?
