I'd love to live in one of the penthouses as much as I dislike the design.

No glass again?

If they weren’t going to put any windows on the bottom they could have just lowered the tower and saved mining all that spandrel.

That enormous spandrel section on the podium makes me gag. But at least the towers are turning half decent.

With the trees blocking the podium it looks good.

A very wide angle photo of the podium (last photo) since everyone loves it so much.
Would have been a lot nicer if they would have moved the podium back even further as this sidewalk is going to be very narrow. With the horrible podium design, multiple lanes of traffic and a narrow sidewalk this section will not be pedestrian friendly.
Also you can see glass on the underside of tower two. It looks like there will be a covered alley access (2nd photo down).

Orienting the cladding panels to the same angle as the sloped sections would have made that look just a tiny bit better, dammit NORR!

 

[Silence&Motion]

Oh god. It looks like the rear end of the world's worse convention centre.

I expect semis backing up to those loading bays.

Spandrel Factory?
