This building kind of reminds me of what it would be like if Jay-Z and Kanye West performed "N**as in Paris" on plywood stages in some church basement.
I mean, I know it's trying to be audacious and in your face, being a monumental spectacle of two towers at the intersection of two, giant 8 lane suburban boulevards. And, yeah, sometimes I want us to be indulgent in Toronto and shrug off that Jane Jacobs/Jan Gehl's wholesome urbanity every once in a while. But this building can't even get audacity right. It looks striking and sort of Dubai-otherworldly from far away, but then you get up close and you're treated to a flat, mechanical top, a low slung, precast podium and those cheap block pavers from Home Depot's garden centre.
