So bulky and indelicate. I guess it's considered 'good for a rental building' but I am not a fan.

Those are fantastic! Immediately recognizable; an ode to our cold yet often charming winter; colours that pair with the accents of the building; whimsical and light; human scaled.
I love everything about them, what a pleasant surprise!

Everything this building does gets overrated.

It seems like a solid B+ building. Nothing overly daring, solid materials, decent execution, the street level is articulated (though not particularly animated), it's got a few splashes of colour. I wouldn't want a city full of buildings like this, but to fill in a parking lot at Bay and Gerrard we could have done a lot worse. I certainly prefer this to many other buildings that have been completed over the last few years

Looks like they're on track for their September 1st opening!

Overrated? It’s called being pleasantly surprised as opposed to the custom of being constantly disappointed.

This building looks great. No complaints.
I've just looked up the public art plan because since seeing those, I've been hoping they are not permanent (the snowman heads look cheaply made to me and too clown-ish for something of lasting significance).…and the plan identifies the area to the east of the entrance alongside the driveway, I assume to help add light and interest in that passageway through the building to Walton Street. (The plan doesn't identify what the art will be, just where it will be.) We shall see…
