Allied bought out Westbank's remaining 50% interest in KING Toronto in June. Westbank is not involved here.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but I haven't been able to find this announcement. Could you point me towards it?

As recently as the end of July, Allied's Q2 results press release still spoke about KING being on track for completion by Allied and Westbank in 2026 and it didn't include KING in discussion of recent acquisitions/increased interest in projects.

A frame is a frame. Why, exactly, do you think glass blocks couldn't have been installed into a windowwall frame?

For one, the mullions required to cover the slab would be obvious. Additionally, window wall panels never line up as well as curtain wall, and the individual panels would be more obviously disjointed.
 
One system has a mullion bypassing the slab at the top of frame, the other system has a mullion bypassing the slab at the bottom of the frame. Same difference. The horizontal joint would be less consistent for the windowwall, but what percentage of the wall even has a horizontal joint, given all the step-ins? And to trade off that consistency versus the perimeter conditions the curtainwall creates?
 
From yesterday, Monday September 15. Ongoing work completing the Level 3 cladding and glazing. The two remaining Level 3 areas on the King Street side of the building, the north east and north west sections, are now largely complete. The work being down in the photos below was in the north-east portion of Level 3. The Level 4 cladding and glazing will hopefully start arriving within the next couple of weeks or so - in the late September timeframe.

It was discussed earlier in the thread that Allied had bought out Westbank, one indication being that all the Westbank references on the hoarding were covered up. Though Allied denied it (if I recall correctly from this thread).

Also for what it's worth, Westbank is still posting about this development on their Instagram account as recent as yesterday.

So I'm not sure what to believe.
