This building is a huge miss. It looks like some suburban office park tower with the most banal glass rectangle residential building perched on top. The one interesting feature, the tapering angled columns on the amenity deck, could have been a defining motif if they'd repeated it elsewhere, say on the crown. Instead it just looks random and awkward. And the street level is absolutely unforgivable. A blank wall on one side, metal mesh on the other.
We can’t always assume it was the architect. Remember 700 river originally looked like a completely different tower than what we ended up with. Sometimes it’s the clients checkbook
Hopefully someone will give lake-flato another shot down the road
Just leave the crane up permanently. Spire would look nice on 6XG too.
You know, a permanent crane feature could be a sort of artistic statement: "Just as these buildings look incomplete, we too are always a work in progress..."
Is the south face of the 'crown' glass or metal panels? I can't tell if that's just the reflection but it looks opaque. I would imagine they'll cheap out on the lighting as they have everything else.
Great pictures. Some one already took your pictures and my pictures and posted them on facebook. Might need to watermark your pictures so you can at least get some credit. There is no credit given except my mark on the bottom corner. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=557814063834810&set=pcb.2566745620184251
Update: The page was updated to give me credit but some of those are your pictures and not mine.

What was the original turn date for this thing? Website says early ‘25 for opening. Started Jan ‘22. Crane is still up now. Other than all the pour backs and completing the pool, this looks to have a lonnng way to go.
The way the podium flares out makes it look as if the top portion of the building is too heavy for the podium to handle and its getting squished outward.
But.... "yay! angled exposed support beams" (eye roll)
