I love the silhouette and the design solution to avoid a blocky behemoth. These renderings however indicate there's room for improvement as the street level and podium is underwhelming for a building of this significance. The finer design details could also use some refinement as the image looking up the tower indicates it's too repetitive and a bit boring. A balancing act to be sure to maintain sleekness without being boring, to look good from afar yet also good underneath and beside. That being said still a great start and one of the better Canadian residential tower proposals of the past several years.
