Is it done? I was under the impression they're just going to paste more grey spandrel over the white base.

Even if so, the atrocious grid of mullions will remain.

Maybe not necessarily the unanimously agreed upon greatest hits collection of buildings, but it's neat to see that urban canyon view along Nelson Street of buildings completed within past couple decades or so.

From lunch today.
I still like the idea of randomized dashes on the balcony edges… but I wish the pattern was random over the entire face of the building, and not repeated every 6 floors as seen in this image by @Red Mars:
The whole thing about what initially appeared to be randomization on the exterior of the building was that it was a nice break from the repeated patterns of every other building in the area; the geometries (even the weak ones here, well, they're nearly all pretty weak) have become relentless, and something patternless in their midst would have been a visual relief. In the end though, it's yet another repeating pattern, so no real help.
Meanwhile, the attempt at a shoji screen pattern on the mech penthouse is terribly botched, like teeth have been knocked out, and besides it relates to nothing else on the design.
I had hoped for something positive here...

What a stinker. I miss passing by that old row of buildings before they were knocked down for this testament to the BORGcube dynasty.
