To readers to decide, of course, but due to the city center location, might be worth discussing further.   
Thank you. |
I love the colour of the TD Tower and the IBM Tower, I wish the city had allowed the Canaccord Tower to be clad in the same colour. The reason I love it is because, to me, it makes clear reference to Mies van der Rohe's Toronto Dominion Centre of the same era, although not nearly as outstanding a design. Cesar Pelli's design was, I'm sure, heavily influenced by the Toronto Dominion Centre. The dark colour also pays homage to Mr. Pelli, so we should leave it alone.
Some good info on it here :
