The banister at the top and the cornice topping it off definitely help it to look better - I wonder if the cornice will wrap around the building completely like the renders have shown? I thought that a bit odd as buildings of this style don't USUALLY have it wrap around like that - usually capped as a façade.
I do have a minor complaint - and this is just me being "simon" in a sense and nitpicking - is that the arches have the additional ridge that could have been continued down the pillars to make it look more seamless - as of now it breaks the illusion that it's all one solid piece like the rest of it had - with the cornice below it separating the two it would have been easy to pull off - but that's about it - although the parts above the windows on the sides - I dunno, maybe it just needs to all dry and look more uniform but they stand out a bit - that and the boxes at the top don't really line up - but I am willing to see how it looks once its all cleaned and settled.
Those are just minor traditionalist nitpicks on my part - still looks amazing and of course I'll take it over any ikea builds. I really hope the Juliette balconies are made of a good rust proof or resistant material as I'd hate to see the exterior get stained.. done poorly those types of balconies can make a building look more like a prison. I think having the doors be black will help to offset that though and was a good choice on their part.
after a decade or so once natural dirt starts to stain it a lot of the bevel details should pop a bit more. I must say it IS cool to see an all stone façade go up - aside from the William Thomas build or the King William St one - which weren't completely new or complete respectively, this is the first ALL new completely stone façade built since possibly pre-confederation.
