I'll wait until the tower is completed to reserve final judgement but so far the balcony pattern is basically unnoticeable unless you are at the Carling/Preston intersection looking up. From far away you can't see it and it just looks like a typical 45 story glass tower. VERY very plain.
Perhaps its the choice of glass or something but I was expecting something similar to One Bloor in Toronto where the tower has a wavy balcony pattern going up and is very sticking from close or afar.

I've said this to Councillor McKenney before in an email to her. She asked the chief building inspector to report back, but I never got a response. I've forwarded these two images to her and asked her to make sure developers aren't able to drastically change their proposed buildings during construction, especially when it comes to cost cutting on cladding elements. Also that it was embarrassing for the architect.
