Those windows on the end look a bit odd, too bad they had to shrink them down...

If they only inset the windows 6 to 8 inches and switched up the mullions to black. As it stands right, I would side with no windows at all than larger punched windows.
I guess there is still hope that this Isn't finished and dark caps with depth are still to be installed.

No windows would look much worse IMO.

Can't wait to see how the podium looks, as that is the only reveal now as we kinda already know how the tower will look.

Those sides look great; the north, decidedly not.

I don't have a problem with the North side of the building. Nice contrasts.

It's not nearly as nice, but the north side of Massey Tower isn't bad by any means. That's the only side I see most days and it's a decent looking building to the south.

That being said, it is disappointing in comparison.

It's amusing how the wrap around balcony side is unanimously preferred over the side without them.

Almost all mechanical is hoisted up to the top. Should be one cooling tower lift in April. Then the crane comes down. Had my last trip to the top last week and she is looking great. Even got a shot looking straight down, hardest shot i ever made. Being afraid of hights. Anyway my time in the tower is done off to a new firm next week.

Apologies for the lack of a great update, but here's the top of both Eau de Soliel towers, (6. Eau du Soleil - Sky Tower (Toronto): 228.2m / 749ft) taken off the hill on Dundas (west of Ossington) with my camera;
