Agreed, this isn't too bad and apart from some technical detailing issues it's actually fairly decent. But there's something slightly off setting wise, where it gives off a central Etobicoke/Old Mill kind of vibe.

Yes, it's definitely doesn't quite jive with the downtown aesthetic. The window wall is fairly crisp (though I would deduct points for the problematical use of spandrel - but at least they line up properly and tried to accentuate the vertical *small mercies*)

It looks very lonely and out of proportion right now with nothing else of similar size on the north side of College and west side of Spadina in this area — makes me wonder where else we may see developments in the future.

You just know that bank building on the corner will become a podium for a tower at some point...

It fits well with the CAMH on the east side, Scott Mission is on the north side of the building it was there in 1972 when i moved to Robert St, i doubt that will be sold any time soon, there would probably be issues with the school next door, CIBC building site is very narrow but you never know.
