It's going to start flying pretty soon, it's precast after all. The parking and underground levels aren't precast just due to the complexity.

They are working flat-out 5 days a week, with all 3 cranes going. It is a big site. I suppose that the snow and cold have slowed things down a bit, but I wouldn't call it slow. They started in a huge, deep hole, and now they are rising above the hoardings. It is difficult to show the progress over the whole site in pictures now that things are above ground. Projects around the region that have risen faster are much smaller in footprint.

With the precast pieces being added this should start going up quick.

Yes it should but it isn't the fact that it's precast that will make it faster, it's the fact they're now starting on typical floors. A structure made of other materials can go just as fast.

As far as I can tell, they used precast for the sections that had doors/windows in them, but the rest was poured.

Do we know how ugly these building will be yet?

There are renderings posted earlier in the thread. I don't know if there are any changes since the public meeting in 2022.
