Maybe the current BMU design is the issue with a higher glass wall?

The bay is starting to freeze over. I assume the wind will die down tonight and @skycandy will be out tomorrow morning with one of his beautiful annual downtown shot from Polson Pier.

Absolute garbage for a supposed iconic tower, especially one that will be the secondary face to the world after the CN Tower in all photos going forward.
I get money, but have some pride in it.
I think it is was done for the BMU (I think was mentioned), which will probably stick out like a sore thumb similar to Monde

Do we have any renders on how this new look will be lit up at night?
 
The one on the left has a grey mechanical box above the curtain-wall crown... the version on the right had the mechanical fully hidden/enclosed by the curtain-wall (as it should be), not sticking out for the seagulls to see.🦅

If there's a debate, it's ill-informed. The glass now stops with a parapet wall at 109, exposing the top of the uppermost mechanicals. I get that some, many, most, ALL of us would rather believe that the glass walls were still going to surround the top of the building, but they aren't anymore. Pinnacle is cheaping out. I'd love be able to embarrass them into doing the right thing and completing the glass shroud as originally planned, but instead, Pinnacle seem to be fully willing to embarrass themselves and this city in perpetuity.

I dunno...it just feels like a place holder to me, where they haven't decided what to exactly do here. But they needed something official to submit to The City in the meantime...

...I guess we will know if they decide to submit a minor variance or not at the last moment as to what the top part will look like for the ages. So I haven't written this off no matter how ill-informed my hopes are here until that fat lady sings.

They have also made it clear multiple times that plans can and do change, and seem to be figuring it out as they go along, main examples being the addition of a 106th floor and, later, a full restaurant out of thin air.

Just keep in mind that Mr. 42 may be privy to information here that we may not be aware of here....as he maybe closer to the horse's mouth on this. So I am not ruling out this might be a "Done deal, Jim" either.

...suffice to say, that this would be extremely disappointing if this was the case.

no big deal it's only the tallest building in the country that we'll all have to stare at for the rest of our lives!
