BVic: is that a corridor view between HRC and Columbus Plaza? If yes, then that should be a long term or "permanent" (if there is such a thing), point of visual access.

Yes, it's looking southeast from Michigan Avenue.

And this is post 3500 for me

It has evolved and I'm not sure if I'm for the revisions (although I like the base more now).

^Imagine, being able to do that on the entire building when it is completed. There's going to be a lot of great photography of this building when it is finished...Looking forward to that!

I will say this for LakeShoreEast. They did a pretty good job on the site plan and squeezing in all these little view coridors.
Even if you're on a low floor on the east side, you get a view of the lake.

At least until they build all the highrises along LSD.

Wow! This is awesome.. it will be interesting to see it with more glass.

[Phil McAvity]

Since the balconies are going to be all different sizes, I wonder if that makes any difference to the price of the units. All other things being equal, I sure as hell wouldn't want to pay the same as someone who has twice the balcony I have.

Aqua is prgressing really fast. And from a lot of angles, the facade already has it's final appearance. In that last photo of Wrabbit's, on the north face, you wouldn't even see any of the glass if it was there. So except for the paint, that's the final look of the building.

Also, I was kinda on the fence regarding the black window frames, but they're growing on me.

Cruddy weather for photos. Look closely & you'll see icicles:

It's very foggy today.. I'm surprised you could see that far. ^What is the crane in the forefront of aqua doing?

[Deepstar]

Thanks for the updates pics

Not sure whether or not this has been mentioned, have there been talks about whether they are going to paint the concrete?
