Completely shocked at the landscaping! The work of Regency or TransEd?

Excavator spotted next to the tower a couple days ago.

I gotta agree with @JuliallThat. The building is growing on me and the colours look kinda nice. It's not just a wall of white stucco.

I think this is what they call Stockholm syndrome.

Nice building! Not much energy efficiency going to be lost in that baby.

I wonder how occupancy is based on prices and gross design. 121 west had no problems.

People complain too much. This is miles ahead of William Place across the road, which looks like something straight out the Soviet era.

Phase 1, along with the supportive housing project on the corner of 95 ave, will hopefully inject some life into the area (plus whatever proposals come out of the rezoning process)...

I mean, the rest of the site is still a half a hole in the ground with construction garbage strewn all over, with plastic capped rebar that hasn't moved in a year and a half, but sure, tell everyone they complain too much about a building that is barely better than the one across the street.

I mean, the rest of this site is one big complaint-fest so I may as well join in on the complaining too because damn, people looooove to complain.

So what do you like so much about this tower? Please explain to us why it's less soviet looking than the building across the street? What are the architectural features that impress you the most?

For one thing, it actually has some thought put into the facade, yes? It's not a chalk-and-charcoal coloured hulk, and has some nicely coloured accents and elements?

It has a podium instead of being surrounded by a couple of cereal box low-rises? There's some attempt at landscaping, rather than just a grass lawn and trees?

Don't be facetious. If people don't like it, they can fork out 50 million and build something that meets their standards.
