You can also see it easily from further south on the Airport Parkway (Huntclub area), and when both are up, it's going to make the skyline adjacent to Bank street that much denser when viewed from certain areas...
Exterior brick work has started to go up on the south tower adjacent to Heron. It can be seen coming up along the west walls as well as inside the little drive through arch entrance. Looks decent enough so far!
With these towers, the shorter condo tower proposed a block or so north on Bank, the revised 2 x 17 towers on Anand AND the future build out of Heron Gate, this is about to get a very busy and lively area.

There is a huge Middle Eastern community around Bank between Billings and South Keys. I envision a sort of Little Middle East on this part of Bank to rival Chinatown and Little Italy. I love Middle Eastern food and there are already a tonne of places on that stretch. It could use some branding and gentrification but it could be cool if it goes that way.
I believe these are the most up-to-date renderings of the buildings. The renderings are from 2017, so I don't know if any minor changes have been made since then, but these images do seem to fit with what we can see under construction as of now.

The south tower is up to the 13th floor, and the North Tower appears to be around 8 floors, and exterior brick and mortar and cladding is going up on both, with the lower 6 floors mostly done on the South building...
Taken October 5. Exterior brick work is progressing on the upper floors along the south tower. The north tower still has about 1 or 2 more floors to go until topped off.
Nothing fancy, but I like it. The colours and materials actually make it look better than the renderings.
I agree with you there. For a relatively unimportant and absolutely horrible looking neighbourhood they have gone with a fairly nice design and materials. It's about the same quality of design but better materials than what Crapridge built in the MOST important neighbourhood in Lebreton Flats.
