The board-forming of concrete is what gives it some real warmth.

Board-formed concrete takes on the rings of the tree the boards were cut from. Go check it out around the base of River City 2 and 3, or the original buildings at U of T Scarborough College. When done well, it's full of organic lines giving the warm feel. It can be great!
At the other end of the finished concrete spectrum, I like the polished stuff too. It's the non board-formed, non-polished stuff that looks cold to me.

Wow the inner space looks realllllly good from that last angle. Striking and dramatic, lots of depth.

I agree. This must be the lobby? It will be striking!

Why can't we have more like this in the downtown core?
The Southcore would definitely benefit from a tall building with such brick cladding

Do my eyes deceive me, or has that double-height space under the arches been bisected by a new floor? ?

It has always been the intent to have a partial ground floor for that space I think.
