Hopefully it looks better in person than in pictures. Dreary winter weather is unflattering, and it'll probably look a lot nicer when the balconies and storefronts are finished. The storefronts look okay. It is good that the ground floor cladding extends a bit above the windows. Presumably awnings will go there. Many other similar buildings around the city have unattractive low-slung storefronts.

I never really liked this style. It is an uncomfortable mash-up between faux historic elements (brick and precast instead of stone) and more modern elements (glass/spandrel). In the picture, the seams between panels are about as noticeable as decorative elements like the cornices. The cornice ends awkwardly at the black paneling.
