Me and @Rascacielo must've just missed eachother on Monday. While I don't like being the one to basically take the same image as others on the same day, it cannot to understated how good this building looks from the Islands.

I took this on the way there,

Pecault Square needs a makeover desperately. It's long overdue.

I know, it has so much potential it is so sad to see this space being wasted.

Went to the jays game last night but was in a rush. Unfortunately I really only had time to quickly snap this one the way in and not other nearby projects.

First daytime shots on the way in

Now for nighttime shots on my new iPhone. These are not touched up at all and I’m really impressed tbh.

sadly, I feel this has turned out to be a disappointment. the overall shape of the building is a positive, but the cladding is bland and boring. this building struggles to stand out from the other equally bland all glass buildings that it neighbours. I feel like the outline of the building could have been accented more with a wider edging. the repetitive horizontal banding of the floors just seems so boring. and of course some colour would have been nice.

I have to agree- while it is competently detailed and relatively adventurous in its overall form, the base slams into the ground, while also missing opportunities for more interesting interior lobby/atrium spaces intersecting with the former warehouse building (the focus of the 'swoop', yet reduced to a facade). Likewise, the height reduction did a real number on this building- it feels stubby and even fat from certain angles...

Personally, I am hoping that we'll get some nice opening day images out of the Sky Atrium- which would have been nice if it were publicly accessible.

The horizontal banding is the only nitpick I have with this otherwise fine addition to the skyline. Makes the building look stumpy and shorter than it is.
