Glazing is looking good with the snowy reflections.

Never thought I'd ever be this happy about blue glass but here we are

Good to see the tower finally on the rise again.

Honestly... I'm just surprised THIS

Didn't bug you either.

But it probably will now! heh

Looks like a conscious decision by someone (architect?) to continue the vertical gap
at the expense of the horizontal bar extending fully.
It looks like the remaining bit may be too small for a filler piece while retaining the gap?

If you saw this - people would say the bar interrupts the vertical gap.
BUT - could they have just made a superficial cut to mimic the gap without being a separate filler piece?

Storm from the south west, wind from the east.

Looks like only a few more floors to be occupied at prestige

The image on the left is certainly superior/more professional looking IF they put in a bit of extra effort so as to draw the vertical gap on that one last horizontal bar. Better still they could etch a gap section on there round the circumference of the bar to add depth and create a better illusion of continuity.

Looking at the rising structure, I can't help but notice that its structural elements, particularly the columns, don't seem significantly different from those of other condominiums with fewer storeys. The columns appear relatively thin, and I'm curious about the engineering decisions that enable such a tall structure without apparent signs of increased structural demands.

I'm wondering if the design relies on a higher number of columns per unit area of the building plate, or if there are advancements in the strength of reinforced concrete that allow for thinner columns while maintaining structural integrity at such heights.

Can anyone shed light on the architectural and engineering considerations that might explain the seemingly unremarkable appearance of the building's structure despite its extraordinary (for TO) height?

I would appreciate any insights or info...

this is still very much just coming out of the podium stage. Also, if you look in the pictures you'll see post tensioning cables that run up every few floors and add integrity to the building as well as everything tying back to the main core
