I like the gold fins and their irregular pattern/application, but the ground realm is absolutely horrible/sterile. It looks like all the other soulless ground realms built through out the city during the current cycle

I could do without the stepped pattern. Hopefully, they can get the second phase built sooner than later (and the affordable housing building) to complete the block.

The step pattern is almost the only thing I like about it. The unclad wood was great, but no that it's all covered it....

Post and beam construction can only be admired by going inside.
I like the look of the facade. It harkens back to mid century glass modernism. I don't find the rigid step pattern adds much intrinsic value. It only muddles the clean lines.

Rumour has it that Waterfront Toronto are moving their offices into T3. They have been 'house hunting'

It's ok, obviously high quality, and am always a fan of timber buildings going up. But despite being objectively high quality I can't say I love it.

This is a solid project and a great addition to the area. Looking forward to seeing the second phase whenever that rises.

The problem is we can't see the mass timber anymore, which is disappointing for many (most?) of us. It looks like an ordinary office building now, albeit with higher-quality cladding. Japan does wood buildings better indeed. (And based on the third pic, Japan does sidewalks better too.)

This timber style building is so nice! Does anyone know when the second tower is going to start?

I feel if the fin curtain wall would (no pun intended) have worked out better if it was more dramatically punched as well, IMO.

Yeah the fact that the wood structure is effectively hidden makes it pretty meh to me. I was initially quite excited too, especially as it was building up.
