Verve beginning to establish a presence all the way over to Queens Park Circle. Verve is in the middle of the photo in the distance.

I'm with casaguy, the green panels and tinted windows are growing on me too. I really like it so far. The curve in the building which follows Wellesley Street on the south side is a thoughtful design concept too. It's a shame that the rest of the building is rather unremarkable but it's a fine (and much needed) addition to the area.

With that backdrop, any predominantly glass building will stand out.
This one does not strike me as 'predominantly glass'. I think it will look predominantly green, with glass and precast accents. I don't mind adding a green stick to the skyline here, but I'm not convinced it's the most attractive green...

Well, at least it's a unique cladding colour for the neighbourhood.

A couple of good photos showing context and impact of this building... I think its in a location that needed something new and fresh to bring it back to life... a bunch of those poor renters just lost their view though!

My old high school is hidden amongst all that clutter. Needless to say the surrounding airspace wan't that crowded when I went there.

Concerning the top image (looking west on Wellesley), the colour mix between the buildings is quite pleasing.
