Agreed. The architectural version of vomit.

Feels a lot like the Lobaws site to the west ... with a well done commercial building, followed up by two horrific residential structures.
Really unfortunate.

I'll keep a countdown going for the number of days it takes before the city rips up all this stone and replaces it with asphalt patch galore.

About the Award
The Ernest Assaly award is named after Tarion's first Chair of the Board of Directors, who led the Board from 1976 to 1988.
An esteemed builder in his own right, Mr. Assaly also served as President of three different organizations: the Ottawa-Carleton Home Builders' Association, the Ontario Home Builders' Association, and the Canadian Home Builders' Association. In 1986, Mr. Assaly was inducted into the Home Builders' Association Hall of Fame.
Each year, the Ernest Assaly Award will celebrate one Ontario residential builder who has demonstrated a continued commitment to Mr. Assaly's values of building quality and innovation, customer service, and community involvement.
While Tarion's Homeowners' Choice Awards focus primarily on customer service, and are determined entirely by new home owners, the Ernest Assaly Award is similar to a lifetime achievement award. Only select builders are invited to participate, and the recipient is determined by our Board of Directors, based on a broad range of criteria (see below).
Award Nomination Criteria
To be considered eligible for an Ernest Assaly Award nomination, an Ontario builder must:

All these garbage exteriors is a product of today's disposable culture. We used to make things to last. A television set was good for 15+ years. Now we throw things away after a few years and we build things to fall apart quickly. These building exteriors are no different. We used to build things to last a century yet these facades often have a shelf life of 20 years maximum.
No wonder they don't spend money on them. Unfortunately we predictably end up with buildings that look cheap, uninspired, boring, and/or ugly. Perhaps when all these facades start failing in 2030-2050 consumers will get angry enough that things will change.
It's to the point that cheap, crappy exteriors is becoming Toronto's signature. Maybe people around the world will start calling a building 'Toronto style' if it looks cheap, boring, and of poor quality.

Both towers higher floor suites should offer even better view.
