still think this thing is going to be a winner at ground level up to the top of the podium section... although even the new (glass) addition seems like it could have used some stronger details and perhaps a continuation of the brick. I had also envisioned the tower as being "black" glass framed by a black grid, but what we got was blue green glass framed by a gray grid which is disappointing. additionally, more set backs along the height of the tower would have set it apart more from the standard glass box point towers that are getting to be far too numerous in this neighbourhood..
 
Are they really just leaving the elevator shaft like that? It's so visible when entering the city from the gardiner. Would have been great if it was brick.
