Pics by me today.

It occurred to me that Granville may appear darker after the reno, since there won't be a big white reflector on one side of the street anymore...

Partly. The store itself will be clad in stone other than the entrances.
The upper office floors will have lights on though.

I was thinking more about daytime.

When the next few panels come off, the emergency stairs inside the building will be exposed. Should look interesting.

They were out working last night.

The stairs look like a "module" inserted into the building floorplate (as the walls don't line up with the columns)

Thanks for all the updates OD.

Yeah I think it would look interesting if those stairs remained exposed.

I don't think those stairs will remain. Obviously stairs will need to be a part of the redevelopment but they will likely get pulled into the building to keep the windows open for offices, as that is the preference of the users.
