This is the first time I have seen images of the base of the building. I don't know how I feel about the lack of windows and the building materials that will be used. Looks a little bit like a modern-day brutalist design at the base... Is it just me? I know we are all gung-ho for skyscrapers, but I also want to add that I think it is a shame that such a massive tower will be overshaddowing the surrounding low-rise neighbourhood and school yard to the north. Doesn't seem to fit somehow.
