I'm still not a fan of Telus Sky's design. But I do admire the quality of the exterior. I wish more buildings would use such quality.

Telus Sky has two faces to me. The broad side posted on the last page is turning out more spectacular than I was expecting. The angle post above of the narrowing built form into a twist doesn't appeal to me at all. That's just my personal preference.

No. The design standards and details are not up to the level of Telus Sky or The Bow. It's elegant.

I think the shape will look more elegant and balanced when the last ~15 stories are poured.

It is ok to admit when you are wrong.
