What building? Nothing is built. You mean the render.
We have yet to see building material quality.

Design is awful, so busy, looks like it will be all spandrel. The podium looks promising but thats about it, we'll wait and see but I'm not optimistic.

It's not an important location or intersection, but in terms of being front and center from City Hall and Bay Street to the north then yes it is.
Definitely an underwhelming design that could do without all those balconies. We have yet to see the quality though and the final product but even at that I don't expect anything stellar out of INDX. (Although the evening renders do promise some sorta lighting)
If it were built to the height of sapphire then it would be terrible, but at its sub 200m height, it'll hardly make a mark on the skyline and will get lost in the mix. Especially with Richmond Adelaide 3 being built next door.

Ya, i meant due to its visibility from the square.

Price per square foot was pretty high so if that is an indicator it shouldn't be too bad.

Looks like it'll be more M5V/Yorkville Condos than Four Seasons.

It doesn't look like it belongs in the Financial District. All the buildings there are sleek with subtle details. This one is plastered with balconies and those bold boxes along the facade.

The city has so many rules on height, why not on design

I agree they should add one more point to their planning criteria. the point should be that the building should not be an ugly boring box.

Another stipulation should be “cladding must consist of more than 99.9% glass”.
