Let's not make this just about spandrel. The design is ugly and awful too. Ugly blocks of balconies accentuated by two contrasting colours.

From this morning:
Super-imposed the image below, ignore some of the details that are inaccurate such as floor count, balconies, etc. More as an estimate on height.

It's one thing getting your view blocked by a rising building and a whole other having to stare at this particular mess forever more. My heart goes out to the Karma condo residents.
Joking aside, I'd cut the tower some slack if the podium wasn't so awkward and if it at least acknowledged its proximity to one of the city's major intersections

This is the new "brutalism". Ugly but impossible to avoid. Doesn't bother me much.

I feel like the white and black balconies can salvage this design slightly.
It'll simply be an uglier version of G+C's Lago, since there'll be more areas without balconies (and thus more ugly window wall for everyone to see).

To me, it's a very similar level of ugly to Aura, minus the curtain wall top portion, so therefore even worse looking.
