The building looks good according to me. But New Yorkers have singled it out as one of their worst buildings. Not to mention severe quality issues plaguing its multi million dollar houses.

Lots of radio ads for this right now.

Just to break my streak of negative comments. I do appreciate its massing/silhouette from a distance, it adds to the skyline.
I guess, similar to Aura, it has value in certain contexts.

Aura looks great a night. The Toronto skyline looks great at night. It's the day time where it rears its ugly heard.

I too look great in the dark, it’s why I love raves

My thoughts exactly. It creates a great silhouette for Toronto Skyline and adds massing to it. As long as they can light up the crown in a unique way. I am good.

Kinda like those "great" paintings you see at a distance until you walk up closely to it...

Well I mean according to Concord this development will be as monumental as the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, so clearly Toronto Heritage Preservation should look into getting this listed and designated ASAP. I mean, that's what they like protecting these days anyways right?

What is it with Toronto buildings, Aura and now this, where they would otherwise be fairly sleek and inoffensive if not for the blocky growth that's placed halfway up the tower?

Aura has a much worse case of it than this one, but I know what you mean. Aura was a wasted opportunity. I can't see ever warming up to its massing.
With Concord Sky, it too has some weird add-ons that visually muddy up the waters. Its cladding is going to be crucial if it's to look half-way decent.

Or as the old saying goes, good from afar but far from good.
