i was gonna say those look like skylights/light wells. but why do they need them if the whole facade is glazed?

I sort of like it....I wonder about the build quality, but besides that it seems okay.
I don't know that corner very well, but will the black brick stand out like a sore thumb compared to all the red brick surrounding it? Seems like it could be better suited in a slightly more modernized area.

The 'silly vents/skylights/lightwells" are stairs to the roof top decks.
You're right. I was just going to post that after I asked a worker what they are.
Those are black metal panels.

The multiple 'little white extra boxy things' on the facade make me frown...they don't seem particularly functional, nor particularly aesthetic. They make the whole thing a bit busy, IMO.
However, it is a well-proportioned, perfectly standard neo-modern little number. It should improve the corner - if only by contrast.

Just before the Modern site is this thing we've discussed but since I'm not certain what the "thing" is called, I'll stick it here...

The scale and design of this building are great. Wish we saw more like this.
I couldn't agree more.

I too like this building and am glad it kind of pushed the neo-modernist envelope a little.

A lovely new addition to the area - takes its design cues from Europe. I wish the city would get serious about burying more hydro and utility cables underneath the streets, though... they seriously detract from so many beautiful buildings throughout the city.

I'm really loving this one. This intersection will have excellent streetwall once The Modern is complete.
