Why not a fourth tower to balance out the wedges?
Too bad they didn't come across an engineering issue that meant they can no longer use spandrel.Glass fell from the building last week:

TBH I’m happy they’re building the third tower. Podium sucks, but at this point the podium is built anyways might as well add another tower and some more residence in that area.I'd almost rather they leave the 3rd tower as a hole than to build it...
I saw green construction fence up around the west tower on a drive by this morning. Maybe window cleaning?
I walked by here today - ironically the green safety fence to keep people out of a glass falling zone goes right up to the curb, forcing pedestrians to walk into the bicycle lane and traffic.Glad to hear Cidex took a proactive approach to a major safety issue...
Did anybody watch this and look at the podium? I didn't. Definitely not a great street presence but these are growing on me. I was driving north on 14th Street in the SW by the Rockyview and could see these poking up with the lights on the top. It looked cool.
