I know it's early to draw conclusions, but I wish the facade facing City Hall had mullions. The cladding on this building its fantastic either way, but to my eyes, the sides with the mullions are its strong set, putting more emphasis on the verticality and giving the building unique properties. The north/south facing facades tend to blend in more with other glass towers, especially the horizontal bands of the 2 Bay Adelaide Centers in such close proximity.

It looks more bland from here:

I've only ever seen this building on a dull day and I've only seen dull photos, too. Is there no sunlight here?

Most excited about the Concourse Building facade installation. Looking great so far.
 
I think it's been sunny a total of 12 minutes in the last 5 days. Then again, this area is always dark, any time of day.
 
The view down Bay, shown in the first photo, has really changed! Great pics G.L.17...... :)
 
I really like how the view from King and Bay, looking north west, has finally been filled in. I think it was Automation Gallery who was wet dreaming about the north/west corner of BMO being replaced by a tower--a sentiment I agree with--but in the least EY and INDX really fill in the view from here, closing the gap that's been here forever.
