I wonder what the lobbies look like in the larger office buildings there.

The Terrasses de la Chaudière complex (the one with the building draped in red right now) looked great with the brown-red brick, but the problem was that bricks kept falling off. From what I recall it's been a problem for at least 20 years and the entire complex has had nets installed all around it above the sidewalks for at least a couple of decades.
Up close it really looks like your standard bricking that you'd have on your house. Not sure it was the best choice for a skyscraper that's 25 storeys tall.
