If you'd like a refresher, you can scroll to the bottom of the document below and get an idea of the different spandrel they'll use and where. There have been slight alterations in places, though, but it appears to be a fair match to some of the drawings. Though, some of the renders embellished things. Those night time ones almost made it look like they'd have a lot of actual wood! But no, more white precast, hah.
I'll be interested to find out whether they include the wood panel spandrel they originally suggested. Originally, the tower was going for this "let's pay homage to the Indegenous lands we occupied" theme as illustrated by the intentional birch tree like influences on the podium design, birch tree windscreens that'll be on street level due to the wind tunnel models suggesting this will be windy, the wood panel spandrel on the diagonal pillars and a few more features down to including wood features on the interiors. The main facade material we see - the white precast that have the angled lines - was originally going to be metal spandrel. At some point, they switched to using textured precast, quite similar to what IN8/SRM switched to during Duke Tower which you can see upclose pictures of here: https://x.com/adamclark_cok/status/1296606787009904641. I think the choice to move to this white precast on TEK was the better option than metal spandrel. While that weird precast concrete panel they used on Duke Tower looks awful as they get harder to discern the higher up you look, they at least used a more interesting design on TEK.
Overall, another budget design with more bait and switch, but at least this hopefully doesn't look that bad when it's finished.
