There's a few things that are yet to happen here.

The office lights won't or shouldn't be as harsh as the construction lights - they will also probably be timed to go off once the offices empty.
The feature lighting to pick out the diamond fins will come into play
Even given that, the balance of the two can only really be tuned once they're all on. You never quite know in advance how it's going to look, but there will be scope to tweak.

Also - I kinda think it's fine that this building goes through moods. If the diamonds are less visible some times than others, that doesn't take anything away from the Instagrammable wow moments this still gives plenty of.
 
Our population is rising, we have so much potential. We will see Toronto become a very big and powerful city in our lifetimes, hopefully second largest after new york by 2100

I don't know how young you are, but I know I won't be alive in 2100. 🤣🤣😂🤣
 
All of us in 2100

Because everything around it is dog crap and was from the get go. It's the problem with building quality. It highlights everything that isn't.
 
That 2nd last shot from just east is off the charts. Makes everything around it look like dog crap.
Aren’t a lot of prominent, architecturally-unique buildings in many NA cities’ downtowns actually office buildings?

Is Toronto a bit unusual in that a lot of what’s along the water is residential, and unless you’re catering to the wealthy...people aren’t gonna pay for architecture, just square footage?

EDIT: That’s not to say that we shouldn’t be disappointed with poor/pedestrian architecture (Daniels, the Waterfront ‘Innovation’ Centre) but...maybe that explains a little bit about why we see such a design gap. It’s more disappointing to me that even with pedestrian architecture we see a ton of crappy layouts and materials/fit and finish.
