Circa 1877 (née Brick Brewery) | 20 fl | Complete

Just go with true tested glass a la big cities like Toronto and call it a day

Charlie West is clearly aluminium, not concrete. And the wall is only for the podium, for half the width of the building.

Incidentally, when developers build all-glass buildings, many people clamour for variety in materials. Whether the Charlie West podium cladding ends up looking good or not, I will give them kudos for their attempt to create something that looks good -- and looks different.
