Some good news about this development.

"The size of the building, while huge even compared to surrounding buildings,
was considered appropriate for its location between two major intersections on a busy artery."
"In the end, the group
voted unanimously for refinements, not a total overhaul of the design."
Some comments from the DRP (Design Review Panel):
"Members felt that proposal was elegant and tasteful,
but architecturally understated"
"Members felt the massing was relatively acceptable,
but also that it was perhaps too rectilinear and reserved for a building that will have such a strong
presence upon the skyline."
"At 80-storeys, they felt it was an
opportunity to create a signature skyline building - ensure this opportunity is not missed - introduce more "adventure" into the tower expression"
