I find in Canada, a lot of it - at least when it comes to office buildings - is a fear of being viewed as unprofessional and not taken seriously. Business-like is seen as being responsible and stable, whereas anything more fanciful is seen an undermining that.
In my experience, it's a bunch of self interested executives that view fanciful expenditures as cutting into their performance rated yearly bonus. They are so far removed from their employees. Why would they care about their work environment or well being? Far cry from several decades earlier when we saw fanciful expenditure on landmark head offices, pensions, health plans, leg room, etc.

I like. It reminds me of some of Bjarke Ingel's recent work. One tower would be more appealing than two, but I'll take it. Is the crown feature habitable?
Pretty much the northern end of North York City Centre, and it actually will extend the skyline of North York just a wee bit as well. A few more of these and North York Centre will reach the Thornhill/Vaughan/ and Markham border.
