Nice pics Marcanadian. They remind me that the real soul is at street level. So glad we preserve the older building stock!
I think this building has some really strong points, but there's also an element to it that comes across as just sloppy or unrealized. The bands on the side are inconsistent, even if finished (from what I can tell), the mechanical (won't beat that dead horse), the lining on the balconies could be tighter, etc.
There are piles of problems with the band installation at the moment though, both missing sections and misalignments. They're easily noticed. I imagine that the condo corp could and will refuse to accept their current condition. Why do you think they are not likely to be fixed?

I think the inconsistency he's referring to is not about the different thicknesses of bands, or the different angles, but the way that the segments of each individual band don't line up very well. You can see it up close that many of the pieces of glass are stepped, so that they create a jagged rather than a smooth line. It's an installation issue, not a design issue.
Those misaligned and missing bands are critical deficiencies in terms of delivering a quality building. Sure, maybe some things have to be taken care of inside first, but until those bands are fixed, this building is not finished. There's no way they'll get away with not fixing it; it would be lawsuit time. Lamb is not going to want to have this looking crappy, prominently on the skyline forever, this would be a reputation ruiner if it's not fixed.
