I am with you on the half sized bit, but when I walked past earlier today there were indeed a couple pips manipulating the Higgs field and levitating above the roofline.

I've walked up Wardlaw from Osborne a couple times recently, and the difference that these buildings have made to the subjective experience is huge. A big part of that is just killing the parking lots and brownfield, but it feels like it's supposed to feel being in an urban neighbourhood of a city of nearly a million.

Just drove by and the orange light up detail on the south side is…kinda dumb? It’s just a lit up orange square around a small cluster of windows. Feel kinda bad if those windows are someone’s apt. Anyway just a nitpick.

I think it looks cool! especially at night. It's a pretty unique feature when you're traveling north on Osborne. I think there's a lot of negative bias towards this building, people have complained about the cladding but I also think it looks fine....

The orange detail is so odd to me, that’s all. Maybe it’s a style I just don’t understand.

Damn I hope there's no bedrooms next to those windows. Wake up with a tan.

I would have spammed this thread with Seinfeld GIFs if it was something easy to do.
