There's a real sense of "enclosure" with Deloitte Summit and The Post bordering Library Square's plaza.

Pics by me tonight:

Pics by me today.

PS - spandrel glass has been installed just above the heritage facade on the Georgia side (didn't get a chance to take a pic).
Looks the same colour as within the heritage facade.

That's sweet.

Draws inspiration from Oceanic Plaza and Guinness Tower.

Should compliment the old Post office podium well.

That's strange - 2 rows of spandrel glass and a couple doors on the end.

Between 5 and 7?
I count 14-16 floors above podium (2 top floors may be mechanical) on the model pic above, and 9 above podium on my pic.

Thanks for all the updates on this through COVID everyone. The north face of this building looks miles better as a street activated stretch.

Looking kitty corner across Dunsmuir/Hamilton.
