Because glass is fragile and its probably being shipped from far, far away.

Like, the Middle Kingdom?

On another note, walked by this morning when it was still dark and noticed that the vertical corner groove between the two glass facades had LED light features that went all the way up to the top of the building. Subtle but very graceful.

Yeah, that would be my guess.

Ooooh, nice.
That's a bit like what we're hoping for Trump, too.

Crane is being taken down. At least it was before the fog rolled in!

A couple weeks ago I thought I saw some LED lighting as well so it must have been what you're talking about. It seemed like a much smaller version of the white LEDs climbing the Bank of American Tower in NYC. Looking back at a pic that was posted by phesto, I think you can see part of it from behind the building towards the top floors...

in case anyone didn't see this in the canada section, here are some pretty cool views from the crane

Interesting photos despite the ever-present finger.

uzi · #**1371** Posted **Jan 17, 2015, 4:38 AM**

will they put some glass on it or leave it the way it is?

Awesome photos - thanks Delirium.

They've been lowering the crane all week... one small blue section at a time.

officedweller · #**1374** Posted **Jan 17, 2015, 6:42 PM**

Woah - that's a "big city" shot.

Thanks!

Nice shot down West Cordova Street.

Despite the "tabletop," I think we have a pretty snazzy skyline developing.
In the bottom picture, the MNP Tower somehow ties in with Bentall 5, even from a distance. Maybe it's the curves.

Klazu · #**1378** Posted **Feb 6, 2015, 1:40 AM**

Hey, did they fix those two black windows on top? I didn't look today, but great if.

This building turned out to be great, but will be exciting to see how it will look like once businesses move in. Also curious to see how it is looking like after the dark.

red-paladin · #**1379** Posted **Feb 6, 2015, 8:01 AM**

I'm sure happy with the way this building has turned out.
I'm glad we didn't get that foreboding hexagonal bolt that was first proposed.

They have not yet.
