I like it? Cmon, it's not like Frank Gehry is designing anything in Scarborough any time soon. Lets be happy that whoever designed it wanted to make it at least a little fancy.
 
it's ugly, a hulking mass, uses 3/4 of the site for surface parking, has essentially no ground related interaction with the street, has no podium likely creating wind issues, has major servicing and site plan issues.... I could go on. This thing is what NOT to do.
 
I would join in with the criticism, because anything pagoda style reminds me of Chinese which I now dislike because of prosperity. How much do you want a redesign?

They could probably dismantle parts of that soon-to-be-vacated nearby Yellow Pages building to build this one, get a couple of turrets out of it.

It's like he took an apartment building from HongKong and pasted it over.

Oh please decline.
 
Dear lord. Don't do this to Malvern. We shouldn't be building high-rises in area if we cant have quality designs, better thought is needed as these are the landmarks that will define an area for decades to come.
