I know it's still under construction and it might just be me but this building is seriously looking nothing like the renders. There are no "stepped levels" or yellow and green colours in the renders.

Are they making it up as they go?
FFS. The yellow is the pillars which you won't see once the exterior windows go in and the green is merely the colour of the safety mesh used to enclose each floor as the building works its way up. The 'stepped levels' are the distinction between he podium and building itself.

I'm sick of people getting so pissed off with a building that hasn't even started to show it's true colours.
Oh wow Patrick, my comment was that I wouldn't be surprised if it was it's true colours or style. It's not looking great and its steeped levels don't show on the renders. There would be a hint of it gradually moving back but in the renders, it shows one step.

Take a few deep breaths Rambo. Remember the knowledge base of forum members is quite varied, some have a passion for development but don't understand the technicalities of the process. Rather than carrying on like a pork chop, maybe take it as an opportunity to help out and educate, said individual.

The first facade brackets have been attached to the northern end of the tower, hopefully the facade is top notch to make up for the bland design.

Some pictures of the east & rear (Northern side) . The yellow colour is just the form work used to form up circular columns. Once this is cut away there is just normal bare concrete.
