So far this one does not seem quite right. The window openings and framing are out of whack with most of the rest of a fairly mundane facade. Maybe it will get better as it gets closer to completion.

Like the Stern at UTS, which is designed to face the river, the core/bland side is facing the major avenue so that it’s facing the park.
you really blessing us today !!!

There was a final pour and they planted the flag sometime this week so it’s safe to say it’s topped out.

Nice, sounds like it’s officially topped out then! Always cool to see that flag go up—it’s like the cherry on top.

Yes, there it is…nice too see. This one had definitely topped out… 
A fellow Patriot - the sight of the American Flag always raises my spirits too…Cheers mate. 
I needed to go outside to see the flag flying: too much glare through the sky light..
There it is; flapping in the wind.

Taken a few days ago. They are making good progress on this project.
I wonder how many casual observers think those limestone blocks are hand-laid in place. I know that is what I had always assumed was the way these modern classics were built.
As you can see in the photos; the entire facade is composed of ‘prefabricated panels’ that are hoisted into place, then bolted to brackets on the concrete slabs.
Modern construction construction technology is amazing, and always fascinating to watch.
