Talk about blocking the views of the balconies on that condo to the right.

Good scale, decent if unremarkable architecture, and an example of facadism done reasonably well in contrast to the one next door - the volume of the tower is set back from the existing building giving it some room to breath (and maintains more than just one or two exterior walls), and it maintains the existing width & scale rather than absorbing it into a borg-like monstrosity.
I wish we could have thousands of these instead of the typical tower podium + spandrel slab/point-tower model...like these ones, which on the other hand are just horrible. Bad architecture and even worse built form:
