That area you speak of is called City Place and is widely criticized by Torontonians. Concord, the developer, did get better over time but it's still an extremely homogenous monotonous part of town. Southcore, directly south of the CBD, is better quality but too much of the same thing as well. At least Southcore is residential, office, retail, and cultural which saves it.
Both are in desperate need of some architectural variety in style and materials used, but it's likely too late for both of these areas. They are largely built out so we'll just have to live with it for the next 100 years.
