I think the design is very boring but they used high quality glass and it seems well detailed. I think the initial design with the one storey pavilion/podium was a lot more elegant and the new design with the cantilevered 3rd storey is a bit goofy looking. I would give it a 75% as of now, but I'll wait until it's complete and landscaped before passing a final grade. Using some kind of accent glass like a mirror or frosted finish for the inset bits on the tower would have helped this one feel like more than just a glass box.
 
The worst new building in Toronto, even more so than its twin College Park. Not an ounce of creativity or single thought to design other then the most for the least amount of money and effort. Shame on LCBO
It's not awful but it's literally a glass box, nice glass but still nothing special at all. Plus it's killed one of the best views of the city from Polson Pier along with the Daniel's Condos.
