Yeah, it would definitely be better to have a wider corner tower. I'm not sure what purpose the diagonal form serves - it seems like it would block the same views and sunlight as a larger tower built up more along the sides with the same setback that exists on the corner.
I also wish they'd add 5-10 storeys to it. Definitely a case where a taller building would look better, since it's on a large 4 storey podium.
The corner itself is strange because it feels like it is at the "entrance" to the downtown but it's also at the edge of the downtown. This spot gets a decent amount of pedestrian traffic but it's nothing like the south end of the block.
