Same!I can't overstate how much I loathe this building. It's both foreboding and inert. The textbook definition of mediocre.

For the 6 billionth time, it was never called "Signature Tower".It's "fine" in my opinion, but they rightly changed the name from "Signature Tower" because they knew this isn't it. At all.

In some city of the future they will just be infill. The one and only redeeming visual feature to my mind is that they broke the table top look of the skyline in this precinct. Hurray. And while Toronto-greyish, they're not the same height, which might be seen as a lucky consolation prize, all-considered. (I know it's a stretch).How about, it ought to have been a "signature" towner given it was the final one they're building ... ...
Yeah that area of the skyline looked really ugly before this buildingIn some city of the future they will just be infill.

The building is actually fine in my opinion. Uninspired, yes. It really doesn't look as bad as everyone makes it out to be.Besides, naming them The Butt Slap Imprint towers is so much more appropriate than “Signature “ here …
And Tokyo has the Golden Turd, so yeah, we're in good company. I'll join you in calling them the Butt Slap towers.The building is actually fine in my opinion. Uninspired, yes. It really doesn't look as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
And I like the "Butt Slap" Towers naming quite a bit. A lot of great cities have their joke buildings. London has the "Butt Plug", Beijin has the "Squattie", and the number of very Phallic buildings around the world. Here in Toronto, we now have the "Butt Slap".
I will be introducing this building as such to all of my visiting friends.
