Picture from the Laundry Design on the work at Ciao Bella, and a good view of 75 James S. Also thought I'd share what I heard from Steve about how they achieved the continuous exterior brick on these buildings:

Steve provided me a great response into my question about this:

"Brick ran continuously has to be supported quite frequently, as in the weight can’t continue to compound on its self. We put steel behind the brick regularly to alleviate the issue but in a way that is hidden. It requires a lot more labour because we need to think of ways to hide the steel and still keep even mortar joints. Sometimes the solution is to shave or cut the back of the brick to accept the steel and keep the facade consistent."
