I wouldn't want to see that anywhere South of Steeles, but it's actually way above-par for where it's going. Looks very nicely massed, if nothing else, and I like that the parking is behind, not in front.
Looks awfully similar to Tridel's Element, with a slimmer round tower on the corner. Viva's probably excited about this- it's going to bring more riders to their Yonge route.
Is this Greenpark's first condo project? They developed numerous subdivisions in Markham, but I've never heard that they were into condo development.
This Richmond is Greenpark's second condo. Their first is a two tower project called the Rosewood on Wynford Drive.
It is interesting seeing so many traditional low-rise builders move into the condo market as the entire GTA housing market is shifting towards multi-family residential (Greenpark, Tribute, Mattamy, Aspen Ridge etc).

This is what the building is supposed to look like when completed:

I'm not liking the huge bulk of the building, but there are some nice terracing at the top of the building, enhancing the structure's massing a little bit ~
