Awesome grab UW! I've been wondering forever what the corner panels would look like. What's interesting is that it's 3 possibly 4 panels to make the curve, but each panel is itself is curved.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have CURVED GLASS!!!

Nice! Though I am surprised that the curve will be composed of three separate panels. Still looks good.

They don't appear slimmer than the flat panels.

You've identified and articulated better than I did why the separate curved panels still look good. For some reason I was expecting a large single panel (e.g. One Bloor East), but now that you mention it, that would probably look kind of awkward.

Now that my fears about individual flat panels forming the curve have been assuaged, I'm really friggin excited to see how beautiful this tower is going to turn out. What an exciting time for Calgary with 707, NMC, Central Library, Brookfield Place, and Telus Sky all underway at the same time. If we had to go into a recession, I'd say it started at about damn near the most perfect time so at least we can see all of these beauties go through during the bad times

So it will be a smooth curve afterall.

I'm so happy to see those curved panels. I've been waiting for s long time to see what they would put there.

Thanks for getting those photos!

If that first photo is any indication of how the glass will look at night the tower will be amaze balls!
