Lovely, best small billboard award for 2017 I say!

I give it the award for most awkward video screen in Toronto! That should have been a cube with 2 screens facing south and east, with possibly another screen on the bottom. This is just ridiculous!

Why can't this building just go away?

Cluttered at the top?
42

Wait are there going to be two different sized signs on TOP of the poorly placed videoboard?

They maybe selling additional signage space like they did with the basement booths!

This is turning out more and more like the crappy house that Springfield built for Hurrican victime, Ned Flanders.

Except the people who built the Flanders house had good intentions and hearts in the right place.

I think it looks fine. Better to have it than not to. The bars, restaurants, and banks at ground level are all great. The only issue with the building is the underground mall and the layout/access of the big box stores.

But it's an all around good hub, a great looking building, and will be greatly complimented by the other buildings planned for that intersection (Chelsea Green etc.).

That's a very charitable assessment for a building which tends to look striking only from a great distance and looks cool up close provided you can manage to ignore the inelegant lower two-thirds!
My consolation is that it will gradually become lost (or at least nicely obscured) amongst a veritable forest of similarly tall buildings.

It's just an actualisation of the building itself.

Does it also have a hidden lower level filled with tiny boxes?

I agree, remember what was there before, "nothing" most here are set in not liking it,
for goodness sake! they even trash talk the new Billboard, lol

Ill take this anytime over the bling that most people are drooling over @ Yonge and Bloor and looks like it belongs in Miami or Panama City.... not to mention its taken forever to build

As to this, which belongs to the bargain, if not trash bin? It's a really funny way to stand up for bad design and architecture.

Sometimes things aren't all about design and architecture, but what it brings to a neighbourhood

You made it sound like the two things are mutually exclusive when it isn't. Besides, a half-dead mall with an active lawsuit isn't exactly what I'd gloat about "bringing to the neighbourhood"

No kidding. Talk about settling for less.
