It is just reflected light. That's, to me, the neatest part.

I don't see this happening, There is pretty much nothing left of the old facade, and the rest of the building is unlikely to have much architectural distinction at all. It's way past its glory days. Just let this poor old bastard die with dignity, demolish it and replace it with a mid-sized, sliver tower.Originally Posted by londonlawyer
It would be nice if the people who own the little building with GRS written on the top restored it and replaced the cornice.
A sliver of glass has appeared above the setback, and although it's hard to tell this early, it looks like it has the potential to be amazing. Will try to post a pic soon.
you are late to the party, and you didn't look up. Scroll up the page and you will see many pictures of the 'sliver of glass' you were referring to. But please do post whatever pics you've got.
That fellow on the right better block that punch that's coming right at his gut.[size="4"]
he's referring to the cladding for the tower, which has started to appear and is different from the cladding on the base that is pictured above.
Right. Clearly everyone has seen the cladding for the base. The cladding for the rest of the tower is starting and it has an interesting angular setup.
Did a screen grab from Extell's website.
I passed by today, but didn't have a good camera to show the new glass above the setback. Captured this with my phone:
Beautiful!
Save the best for last. This tower is mind blowing. Go see it. The glass arrangement is actually quite simple, but it works SO SO well. It's basically just a sawtooth, but the effect works by staggering the teeth.
