I spy a curved white beam!

There is definitely a curved arch extending from the top of the black wrapping up to the top of the core, on the east side.

Oh...wait, that's what I saw!! You shot that at a differing angle from where I was seeing it from outside of Union Station. So I derp'd again by not noticing that at first from your photo...

...I guess that's a little less embarrassing now? >.<

That curved steel attached to top of the core is a head-scratcher... the crown/wintergarden/thingmabob is rendered to be well above the top of the core, presumably with lots of steel yet to come before topping this off.

Wonder what it is...

^^ wondering if it's independent of the main crown steel and part of a rig to anchor the eventual (big) east TD sign/logo?

A better picture day.

What are the 4 galvanized/grey supports for at the bottom centre, If they are not for the TD sign? Maybe there are 4 more supports to come up above? Maybe CF wants a logo under the TD logo too?

The supports appear to be outside the building envelope.

I’m happy the rest of the building wasn’t fitted up with the inlet windows. It should look good here thou.

It’s not hard: this curves up to the core, then will continue at a 45(or so) angle west. The west side will be built up with steel and will angle downward to the east to meet the core at the corner:

Reminds me of the BMO building. Not bad a thing.

How so?

It seems from your pic that those mouth peic...er, I mean inlets will be accessible from that floor. As I have noted, it appears they have installed a door there.

Maybe a smoking area 9m away?

Might have been nicer if there was more contrast with the inside of the "mouth", than just the green versus blue, but I see a white border, so that'll frame it.
