I've got to go with Eau Claire #1, Sky #2, maybe even MRV #3.
I like Manulife as an office tower, plus it has great interiors, but other than the fact that it looks pretty and widens the sidewalk, it has no real effect on the city. It's kind of just another sterile office building with a sterile lobby that will be totally dead 15 hours/day. I like the sleek aesthetic, I just prefer projects that imagine more creative flexible uses that respond to their environment. Honestly, street level access to retail would have brought this project to another level for me.
Manulife is a 20th Century conception built with 21st Century technology.
