Who knows what part of this building will have the darker shades of glass...
like in the photo of the mockup~?

Yes! Glass! Have been looking forward to this. It's been awhile now since the first portions of the building were fireproofed.

The mockup was of a zig zag so that would indicate an e/w side rather than a n/s side. Even then, I'd imagine it might be just at the bottom section rather than the actual tower (just going off of the renders, which is admittedly not conclusive).

Edit: not sure what floor that one piece of glass is on, but based on the steel, it might be right above the atrium / bottom section so it's possible that underneath that would be tinted and the rest of the tower the lighter shade.

I say don't judge until you have many floors of glass to compare up close and from afar.

Wait - you mean we can't predict the look of a 1150' building based on a 5' piece of glass?

That one piece of glass is like a fig leaf on a cartoon character.

Just walked by 10 minutes ago. It looks like there is a whole first row of glass on the side facing the sterling. Can't speak for the arch street side.
